Need to convert a GIF/JPEG logo to Vector EPS Based one

Discussion in 'Photoshop' started by stabani, Jul 13, 2008.

    Hi. I need someone to convert two existing logos to Vector Based Graphics for use in a future brochure. Should hopefully be easy to do for someone skilled in vector programs.

    Please PM me for more details, though I am a bit short on cash but willing to pay a small amount.

    Can you attach the 2 logo images you are referring to so we can all see the complexity of them? Thanks :)

    What illustrating program are you using? Just import the images and trace them.

    That's why I asked to see attachments of his logos Banago. Most auto trace software's lose a lot of detail if the logo is complex. Even the all famous Adobe Illustrator & VectorMagic lose detail in complex images when tracing.

    Best results are normally done through manual reconstruction. A professional Vector designer can normally retain all detail in the conversion by rebuilding the logo from scratch. :)

    Hey, Thanks for the reply. I figured one of them already since I found the eps version. The other one is the one at londontrocadero.com (I dont have a proper JPEG version of that one).

    Let me know if you can help. Cheers.

    I went to that site you posted, but I don's see a logo anywhere.. Are you referring to the font used in the name on the right www.londontrocadero.com ?

    Yup that's the one.

    A better version is available on this page
    http://www.londontrocadero.com/promos/

    it's the one to the left of the building image.

    I did try Freehand and another automatic tool but didnt have much luck with it. It is a bit of a bad quality logo so might be a bit hard to do automatically.

    Cheers,

    Stabani

    GIMP is free, and is just as good if not better than photoshop - it can convert any image file to just about any other image file.

    He is looking for a raster-vector conversion, NOT just the plain file format conversion.

    I couldn't find the font, so i did a quick trace. It's far from perfect & has several bumpy flaws, but it will work until you get a better solution. I'm sure you can't complain much, seeing that I did this for free :)

    You can download the Vector versions Here: Zipped Vector Files

    I wasn't sure what software you use so i provided it in the following formats:
    .Dpa (x2) / .Wmf / .Eps (cs3) / .Ai (cs) / .Svg (1.1) / .Cdr (x3)

    Hope that helps temporarily until you can find the font, good luck! :)

    Here you go. High quality trace.

    Scorpionagency: the secret here is to up the resolution of the image before you import it into your tracing program and then tweak the settings. For the "london", i substituted helvetica because there just wasn't enough information in the original to get it to look nice and smooth.

    Thanks Ramijames! It looks great!
    Your a saviour! Thanks

    ps: yes, helvetica was my guess for the London as well since it was thoroughly messed up.
