Hi zarifkhan.

Are you loosing all color, or the colors are just changing in tone or such?

Just guessing since I can't see an example, but perhaps your problem has to do with a difference in color models. When you're exporting your JPG/GIF/PNG, check to make sure the color matches the color model your using in your drawing. If you're using CMYK colors and your exporting as JPG RGB color model, you may very well see a difference.

Best of luck!

Hi

gif is limited to 256 colors [also called '8bit'] - if the color you want is not one of these this might be causing the problem.

to check this - export the logo as a png or jpg and make sure that the color is '24 bit' [also known as 'true color']

I do not have corel draw so I cannot be more specific sorry, but there should be an option to set this somewhere.

Like Red says - check you are exporting as RGB.

Also - 96dpi is fine for web - 300dpi will make no difference except to increase its size, and would only be necessary for print

Hope this helps

thanks for your informative reply, well, i also export it in png and jpg but the results are not change the green color not changed.. btw, thanks.....

ok - if RGB (24 bit) dosn't fix it then, if I remember right, there is also an option for ICC profile in the export dialog box - could try changing that - I think it should be ticked but try it both ways
good luck - hope you get it sorted

Would you mind if I looked at your original CDR file? If not, see if you can post it. I'll take a look at it.
