When you get a vector logo from an organization with a caption on the pasteboard saying FONTS OUTLINED, but they neglected to outline the fonts in the caption. 😵‍💫

I do this to keep a live version of the font in the file. Fonts in the actual artwork, outlined. But a live version off to the side so if I need to go back to the file I know what fonts I used.

Why not save as a draft and outline the final version you send out? That way when you send your final vector logo, everything is outlined and your draft still has the typeface intact. Outlining everything in your final will keep the file clean and avoid the unprofessional “missing fonts” pop-up.
