vectorization

I looked in my clipart and found similar shields but not that exact same badge. Judebadges.eps

Here is one but it has more than 4 colors. Jude parrot.eps

It may be a custom drawn graphic and not necessarily a font. Too bad the numbers are not isolated otherwise you could upload your graphic here to identify the font: http://www.myfonts.com/WhatTheFont/ http://www.whatfontis.com/ I love those sites! Jude

I am answering myself: You have to select "more options" before you can attach a file! I am attaching the monkeys here because the url I posted earlier with a link to the monkeys file will be deleted eventually from the server. Jude monkeys.zip

thanks everyone! Jude

I'm such a dingbat can't figure out how to attach the eps here. Here are several, they are straight out of my clip art catalog so a couple of them are not cut-ready but if you can modify vectors you may be able to make them work: http://gomez-dieter.com/file/download/monkeys.zip Jude

I have monkey clip art but you are looking for a complete design not just monkeys... correct? Jude

I just joined this forum, great stuff here. Do all sign software come with their own vectorization tools? I use illustrator so I am familiar with its vectorization tool "Live Trace" - what happens when the original bitmap doesn't lend itself to automated tracing and it requires manual redrawing? Is there an area in this website where I can offer my services? Jude

Very nice signs! Classic! Jude

Found the forum rules and announcements, they were right in front of me that is why I couldn't find them! BTW I am in Sarasota, Florida

Hello everyone! This is my very first forum membership. Vector conversion is my specialty; from raster (bitmap) to vector format. I use Adobe Illustrator but can import the illustrator eps file into CorelDraw for those requiring .cdr files. I can also create vector line drawings from rough sketches or from a photo. Even if you do not have an electronic file of your artwork but can take a photo of an item with the artwork on it, I can try to reproduce it. See samples of this here. I'm on a mission to rid the world of poor quality files. Here is my website: http://vector-conversions.com/ I hope it is ok to post my services website here. I admit I didn't read the policies yet, in fact, I can't find them. Not all vectorization I do is for cut signs or plotters so some of the samples on my website will have gradients and effects that are not acceptable for cutting or engraving. But I do have pages that try to explain the differences between continuous tone images and line-art and raster vs vector. Samples of images that have changed from photo to vector line art, from continuous tones to lineart, from grayscale to lineart, transparency vs white and more so customers can get an idea of how their image may change. If I can be of any help, please let me know. thanks! Jude
