ANY bitmap logo is a bad idea. It's not going to scale, especially when it comes to print. Print images are generally 4 times as detailed as web images. You create a logo for a website and don't supply it in vector format, the client is going to be screwed when it comes to using it on print ads and stuff.

There's no reason to do logos in non-vector format, anyway. The only reason would be if you don't have a vector program or can't use it. Fair enough if you're just doing a logo for yourself, but if you're a designer who's actually charging for bitmapped logos, then basically you're a cowboy.

grrr!
