haumana 1,220 Posted April 13, 2020 a) do you have permission to use the logo? b) are you looking for cut ready vector (black & white), or printable (in color)? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Junior98765 1 Posted April 13, 2020 Yes I do have permission and looking for cut ready black and white Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
haumana 1,220 Posted April 13, 2020 If you have some PS or some other graphics software, you can try and prep it for vectorizing ... like convert it to black and white, so it cuts the time that us volunteers have to work on your artwork. Do you have a better resolution? Because the file you posted is small, kind really, really hard to convert. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slice&dice 2,450 Posted April 13, 2020 At a bare minimum, identify the font for CHANNEL PORT- AUX BASQUES and type it, don't convert it. In SignBlazer, it's listed as TEAM MT. Beyond that, I got nothin' -- you should be paying someone to deal with this project. What is your budget? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is no entry level vector though. You'll soon see why people charge for doing this type of thing. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's more like a recreation. Also, be aware, just because a file has a vector file extension, eps for example, does not mean the image is a vector. Raster images can be embedded in vector images. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Raster images can be embedded in vector images. what darc said . . . you are going from a pixel based world to vectors that is controlled by mathematics with nodes and arcs, totally different thing and traces are many times not acceptable. take the time to learn this new world now will pay great dividends in the future when you are putting ut superior work than those "just getting by" 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
