@C0D4 yes, you can use pdf as native Adobe Illustrator file format for vector drawings.
Pro tipp: Save vector logos as pdf and svg. That way marketing folks get always the best picture quality and don't need special software to use it in eg. Microsoft Office. And you can skip for the most part the export of png and .ai / .eps. -
I don't think any of you understand the question. It asks in which listed file format (png, mov, pdf) it is better to use vector graphics (like svg), Of course the answer is PDF.

@bioDan damn.. and I always thought png can contain vectors - that being the reason why zooming some PNGs does not degrade pic quality.

retnikt68945yI think it means, when you are making a pdf, you should use vector graphics, but not when you are making a mov or a png

@netikras Good old Macromedia Fireworks stored vector information in the PNG metadata, so you could use them as plain PNGs (very heavy PNGs) but still open them back in Fireworks and edit them.

lxmcf204095yOnly reading this now does the question actually make sense... It's poorly fucking worded but actually makes sense

Wr4thon35ysvg anyone?
but seriously, it depends...
when you want to print it, use pdf or something the folks who print can use without having to install additional software.
png is fine too, if you don't want to keep the vectors, but want pixels instead...
