What kind of file is it now?

If you want to try this site, it does excellent vector conversions: vectormagic.com, and for now, if you sign up you can get 4 free tokens to try for downloads. Depending on what file type it is now, you may be able to upload into this program and down load for free a beautiful vector image. Hope it helps.

Another free program is inkscape.org, but if you can use vector magic, it is fast and easy. Beautiful and clean. read the tips and tutorial, takes 5 minutes tops.

Hey kelly, do you think the vector program will be able to read the detail on the lil colored buttons thats on the design?
If not I would say just redesign it in Illustrator and your key, or if you know a local designer, I'm sure a friend can set it up in less then 10 min since the work of the design is already done..

Hey Rashaun,

I'm new and learning this part, so I was hoping the OP could try it out. But I decided for kicks to run it through. I saved the image as jpeg, and ran it through Vector magic (I just love playing in there.)

This image looks 'tiny' in the 'original image' window. I processed it with blended edges, low resolution and 3 colors to bring that down and make it look clean, and it lost some of the buttons, and details of other buttons, and some of the letter parts. The myspace is too small, even in the original image. Would saving the image as a larger image to start help it vectorize better?

As is, from my limited experience, this image either needs work, or the vector image needs clean up. But, I really did like very much the way the "jiber47" looked in VM. I brought it down to the 3 colors and it looked awesome but lost more of the image, 6 colors looked good - but isn't that too many colors? Thanks, I am really interested in this side of the biz.

Default Re: vectorizing my logo

I would suggest either re-creating it in a vector-based program, or paying someone to re-create it in a vector-based program.

It's not that elaborate, and wouldn't take long. Especially if the font is available.

You could download the trial versions of either illustrator or coreldraw, and do it in no time.

Just re-create it in corel.

Use the same fonts and colors.

All the work you create in corel is vector.

You then can save it in any file format you wish.

I agree. Did you originally create this logo or did someone do it for you?

Here is just what I did with it, took me only 10 minutes. The stars aren't the same but I didn't know where you got that one. I have the .cdr file as well if you want it.
