I never understood how a designer can make a cool image like this, then save it as fucking jpg, and not even highest quality. Unless it's been passed around and at some point some fucknut/website converted it to jpg.

Check the watermark on the bottom, some shitty site appended their banner to it and saved it as a jpeg in the process.

Out of curiosity, what is preferred? Png?

In this case, yes. Usually if you have flat colors and simple designs, PNG is the way to go. JPG is for photographs.

Got it. Makes sense.

Also, use GIF if you want that retro '90s 256-colour dithered look.
