HOW TO CONVERT LOGO TO VECTOR
Converstion of logos, maps, sketches, illustrations, photos and other images.
Let’s talk about what you need to do to convert images to vectors. Often companies happen to have some system wreck where flies get lost or simply they lose their source file to their logo. What happens next when they need a vector file of their logo and they don’t have it? How do they convert their image to SVG or any other vector format using a bitmap image?
Of course it would be very convenient to have the mother file and save it as an SVG or into any other suitable file extension, however, if you are missing your source file what do you do? In such cases your have two choices; either use the jpg logo that you have at hand and convert it using the automatic features of vector apps such as Adobe Illustrator or CorelDraw or use a professional image to vector service.
The difference between these two approaches lies in the quality of the outcome. In the first option, you get your logo within seconds and with no headache, as the vector software does everything for you based on its automatic converting algorithm. However, in 99% cases the users applying automatic tracing end up with clumsy and unclean versions of their artwork or logo with a lot of zigzagged or uneven curves and unpleasant color distortions, especially in those images that contain gradient colors. This means that machines even with their advanced algorithms are not still there to cater high quality and precision for image to vector conversion.
The second choice is the best as it uses manual vector conversion. That is to say a professional vector designer will redraw your logo and preserve precision of your original logo view. Especially when there are hand written fonts or generic fonts a vector designer can spend time and find the exact matching font through different techniques and tricks, or simply ultimately redraw the font. You can see an example for the fonts in this video.
As a result of this type of approach you obtain back your lost logo or artwork file. It is definitely better invest a bit more time and finances and get your job done with high accuracy and quality rather than use an auto tracing feature and end up with poor quality.
Where to find a reliable vector service?
You can find vector services either online in the internet by googling or checking some of the graphic design agencies in your town. The latter might not necessarily have a vector designer, as there is a difference between graphic designer and vector designer. The former one concentrates on creating templates and designs for posters, billboards, books, brochures, websites, etc. and the latter one specializes in recreating damaged or old raster images. So the skills and techniques of both designers might vary. And the same rule is applicable to the vectorizer.
