Wildgoose 4,200 Posted December 4, 2014 Yikes! Are you trying to get all the tiny details in the crown too? Tons of work by my methods. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

darcshadow 1,626 Posted December 4, 2014 Assuming you're doing this for the school, you could try contacting them and see if they can give you a copy of the image to use. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wildgoose 4,200 Posted December 4, 2014 Here is a rebuild of the main graphic minus the stuff you'd have trouble cutting. You can add whatever to it from here. I opted to leave out the plaque on the front. You can add that easy enough. Greatly simplified the crown work. Looks like some of the circles realigned themselves on the save. You may have to drag them around a bit. AI sometimes does this little favor for you. Viking Crest Seal.svg Viking Crest Seal.eps 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VinylRevamp 93 Posted December 5, 2014 Wow thanks goose! What did you do to get it like that. I used inkscape with no luck Thanks again!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wildgoose 4,200 Posted December 5, 2014 I use Adobe Illustrator. Some parts of that are reasonably complicated to reproduce. I'm not a fan of the easy button way of auto tracing. I prefer to make them clean so typically I will if possible. Inkscape can do everything I did here. I'm not very handy with Inkscape. I did the work at my day job on an old version (CS2) and missed my newer CS5 version bad. It's funny how you get spoiled with a system you are used to and even older versions seem clunky comparatively. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skarekrow 1,842 Posted December 8, 2014 Here's a boost up on the crown, if you still need it. Didn't spend much time with it so it still needs some work. crestseal 5c.svg crestseal 5c.eps Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skarekrow 1,842 Posted December 8, 2014 Thanks, gc... I updated it with a fatter version. Thought the lines looked a bit thin when placed on top of goose's work. Here's the complete, 2 color collaboration, with a few artistic adjustments; VikingCrestSeal.svg VikingCrestSeal.eps 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
