What if you don't like the vector graphic we've created from your original image? How do you send your artwork? How do you receive the final vector graphic? What is a Vector image?   How long does it take? Standard logo redraws are usually drawn within 24 hours. We may be able to do do it sooner if you're in a hurry. Just ask. Obviously for complicated vector image conversions it may take longer. Click here for a free quote. What file types will the image be saved as? Just about anything you want. We'll send a GIF and an EPS file but if you request it we'll also send any of the following file formats: AI, EPS, TFF, BMP, PDF, JPG, GIF, WMF. All files are sent by email. What is the difference between a print logo and a web logo? Print logos require a much higher resolution and need to be saved in certain standard print formats. Some of the most common and universal print formats for print jobs are TIFF, EPS, and AI (Illustrator). By creating a logo in these file formats, the logo can be opened up and printed even without having the original software application that the logo was created in. Web logos require a much smaller resolution (since they only need to be displayed on screen). That’s why they are not a good choice for printing, as the quality will appear very blurred or jagged on paper. back to top  What software do you use? We use Adobe Illustrator for all vector drawing. Adobe Illustrator is the industry standard for this type of work. Other popular vector drawing programs used are: • CorelDRAW • Macromedia Freehand • Xara X What if you don't like the vector image we've created from your original logo? No problem, we can either adjust it until you're happy or call it quits. We won't ask for a payment until you've approved the initial proof. Once we've received your payment we'll send you the EPS vector art file. How do you send your artwork? Just email to us the best quality version of your artwork that you have. Obviously the clearer it is for us to see, then the better job we can make of the final image. Please send as a JPG or GIF file. back to top How do you receive the final vector graphic? We will send you the final eps vector file by email. What is a vector image? Vector drawings can be scalable to any size without any loss in quality. This makes them ideal for company logos or other objects that have to be resized frequently. Typical uses are for stationery, large banners, signs, vehicle graphics and just about anything else you can think of! We can convert your logo from a raster or (bitmap) image to a vector illustration. Your logo will be completely redrawn using the smallest number of points possible (but still retaining image quality); the fewer the points the smaller the file size. There are two kinds of computer graphics - raster (composed of pixels) and vector (composed of paths). Raster images are more commonly called bitmap images. A raster image uses a grid of individual pixels where each pixel can be a different color or shade. Raster images are composed of pixels. Vector graphics use mathematical relationships between points and the paths connecting them to describe an image. Vector graphics are composed of paths. Raster images require higher resolutions and anti-aliasing for a smooth appearance. Vector based graphics on the other hand are mathematically described and appear smooth at any size or resolution. Raster images are best used for photographs and images with subtle shading. Graphics best suited for the vector format are logos, page layout, type, line art or illustrations. You may have a logo that you designed yourself, either created using photo editing software or perhaps a design that you've hand drawn, 90% of the time we can re-draw it into a vector graphic. Just Email your existing logo as a JPG file and we'll let you know whether we can re-draw it and also give you a quote. If you have a hand drawn image, you can scan it at a minimum of 150 dpi and save it as a JPG file, which you can then send by email.
