I’m trying to make a simple logo in GIMP which I need in different formats (small logo, business card) but I’m running into issues when resizing it. I’m sure this is due to my inexperience and wanted to ask if there are guidelines for doing this?
I started with a 3000 x 2000 pixel file and that worked fine when I scaled it down a lot for the small logo, but when I scaled it to 1040 x 693 (keeping the same aspect ratio) to match the dimensions of the business card the result was fuzzy borders and text that’s not sharp anymore. When Facebook displays a thumbnail and not the full picture, the line under the letters is also a bit ‘wiggly’.
Would someone be so kind to give me a nudge in the right direction?

I will also link to both files on my Dropbox because it seems to me that when posting it here, it doesn't look as bad. Maybe Imgur resizes them too. What a mess for a noob like me
