I'm formatting high-res .eps logos for a client who is doing lots of
Powerpoint work, and I want to provide the logos to her in the best
possible format and resolution. I can do JPEG, GIF, EPS, TIF ... 300
dpi ... 72 dpi ... whatever.

What's going to work? What's going to work the best?

Don't give them EPS.  PPT has a long-standing feud with the things.  

It stores most graphics internally as JPG or PNG.  I'd use one of those.  JPG
is the best choice if small file size is highly important, but may show some
quality loss for some types of graphics.  PNGs will be lossless but the files
may be a bit bigger.

DPI's pretty much meaningless in this context.  Think pixels instead.

If the client will project the slides and the video projector's at 1024x768
(fairly typical), then 1024x768 or just a shade over is about as big as your
files ever need to be.   You might want to give them smaller versions for
situations where they'll use the logo small on a slide.

Mitch,

What Steve R said but also.... if you go down the bitmap route (as opposed
to the vector route), then there is a tutorial on this over at
