A logo gets used everywhere: shirts, signs, vans, pens, websites and invoices. If all you have is a 200 pixel JPG from an old website, every one of those jobs starts with a problem. A logo redraw fixes it once. We rebuild the mark as true vector art that matches the original, then you send the same files to every printer, sign maker and decorator you work with.
What our logo vectorization service includes
- A full manual redraw of the logo, not an auto-trace
- Lettering set in a matched font or redrawn by hand, then converted to outlines
- Clean geometry: true circles, straight lines, even stroke weights and symmetry where the design is symmetric
- Colors listed in Pantone (where supplied), CMYK, RGB and HEX
- AI, EPS, SVG, PDF and a transparent PNG in every order
- A proof in your dashboard and revisions until you approve
Fonts matched or redrawn
Lettering is where most logo redraws succeed or fail. Readers notice a wrong font faster than a slightly different icon.
We start by identifying the typeface from the letter shapes. When a match exists, we set the text in that font, compare it letter by letter against the original, then adjust spacing, kerning and any custom touches. Many logos modify a standard font with joined letters, trimmed serifs or a stretched first letter, and those changes are drawn in by hand. When we identify the font, we note its name so your designer can license it for other materials.
When no match exists, as with hand lettering, a script drawn for the brand or a heavily modified font, we redraw each letter as its own shape. Either way, the delivered text is converted to outlines, so it looks the same on any computer without the font installed.
Clean curves and correct geometry
A good vector logo has as few anchor points as the shape needs, placed at the extremes of each curve so the Bezier handles stay smooth. That gives you smaller files, cutters and lasers that run without stuttering, and art that is easy to edit later.
- Straight lines stay straight and horizontal lines are truly horizontal.
- Circles and arcs are true geometric shapes, not traced ovals with bumps.
- Letter counters are real holes built as compound paths, not white shapes stacked on top.
- No hidden overlaps. Shapes do not sit on top of each other, which matters for screen printing, vinyl and engraving.
- Consistent line weights where the design uses outlines or strokes.
Correct colors: Pantone, CMYK, RGB and HEX
A logo should look like the same brand on a shirt, a sign and a screen. We build the file with its colors defined and list the values in each system your vendors use.
| Color system | Used for | What to know |
|---|---|---|
| Pantone (PMS spot) | Screen printing, promotional products, thread matching | We use the Pantone numbers from your brand guide; without one, we pick the closest and label it as suggested |
| CMYK | Offset and digital printing on paper | Bright RGB colors, especially vivid greens, blues and oranges, can look duller in CMYK |
| RGB and HEX | Websites, screens, DTG and DTF printers | HEX is the same RGB color written for the web |
If your only reference is a photo or a screenshot, the color is a best visual match, not a measured one. Cameras and screens shift color. For a critical brand color, compare the proof against a printed Pantone swatch book or a sample of existing printed material before you approve.
Redraw a logo from photos, shirts, signs and screenshots
Most logo redraw requests start from imperfect sources. Here is how we handle the common ones.
Photos of signs, vans and storefronts
We correct the perspective so the logo sits flat and square, then redraw it. A photo taken straight on, in daylight, with the logo filling most of the frame gives the most accurate result. Weathering, reflections and peeling vinyl are ignored, not traced.
Logos from printed or embroidered shirts
We redraw the design intent, not the fabric texture or the stitches. Embroidery loses fine detail and screen printing cracks over time, so if you know the logo had elements the garment does not show clearly, mention them in the notes.
Low-resolution screenshots and website logos
Small files are fine for shapes, but small text can be ambiguous at a few pixels tall. Type the exact wording, including spelling and punctuation, in your order notes so the redraw is correct.
Faxes, photocopies and old printed materials
Letterheads, business cards and old brochures often carry the only surviving copy of a logo. Scan them at the highest resolution you can and we rebuild from there.
Logo redraw vs logo redesign
A logo redraw reproduces your existing logo faithfully. We fix drawing flaws that come from the source file, such as wobbly lines or uneven spacing, but we do not change the design. If you want a small adjustment, such as removing an old tagline or swapping a phone number, write it in the notes. New concepts, restyling or a new logo from scratch are design work, which is outside this service.
Pricing and turnaround
Logo vectorization is a flat price per design: $12 for a simple text logo or basic mark, $22 for a typical business logo with an icon and text, and $38 for detailed crests, mascots and illustrated logos. Standard turnaround is 24 hours, with rush in 12 hours and express in 6 hours for an extra fee. For other vector work such as illustrations and sketches, see our main vector art conversion page.
Once the logo is redrawn, it is ready for the next step. Screen printers can add color separations, and if the logo is going on caps or polos, logo digitizing turns it into a stitch file.
How our online logo vectorization works
- Upload the best copy of your logo you can find, plus any extra references such as photos or old print.
- Add notes: exact wording, brand colors, font names if known and what the logo will be used for.
- See the price, choose a turnaround and submit.
- Review the proof in your dashboard and request changes until it matches.
- Approve, pay by PayPal, card, bank payment or credits and download every format.
Your logo files stay in your dashboard logo library, so you can download them again whenever a new vendor asks for vector art.
Stuck with a blurry logo? Upload it and get a hand-drawn vector version, and pay only after you approve the proof.
