you might want to send this out....because the creases in the car/van will make vectorizing a bit harder...as this looks like a photo without a very high resolution

You need to send it to a graphic designer to have it done right

Reconstruct in Illustrator, nothing special about the logo that Illustrator couldn't knock out

Yes, this is definitely do-able! The font looks like eurostile and the taller lettering is eurostile stretched out of proportion. Look up "staff of Asclepius" on google to get a better image of the snake/staff and everything else can be drawn in half and then mirror imaged. Good luck!

Luis,

It's been awhile since I've drawn anything in vector and I was awake anyway! Let me know if you can't open it. I saved it in ai.

Thanks, good tips, symmetrical images are much easier when built in half then duplicated and mirrored.

I was going to record it, but it was late and everyone was sleeping. Here is a video I did some time ago on vectorizing:

Thanks, I appreciate the kind words.

Unfortunately, FreeHand was no longer developed after 2004. It's pretty much dead and Adobe bought it from Macromedia so they could get their hands on Flash. It was a competitive product so they killed it. They still sell it, but there are bugs in it they will never fix and they don't want to develop it any further.

Here is my order of vector software based on intuitiveness and ease of use.

1. (Adobe) FreeHand MX
2. CorelDraw
3. Illustrator

I've used FreeHand since 1993, at that time it was owned by Aldus. I did try to convert over to other programs, but FreeHand, even as old as it is, still does a great job.

Adobe Illustrators newer Creative Suites (CS) have made incredible advances and their "Live trace" is pretty powerful. However most people look for open source, or FREE software. Here's one that should still be free and is comparable to Live Trace.

Inkscape. Draw Freely.
