clipart picture needed.. can you help?

[Marcella Ross]

I’ve used this before. I’ve had a quick look and find it, but I’ll have another look later and see if I can dig him up! I can’t remember the company name that used this logo or that would help me find it!

…. I’ll keep looking!

[Shane Drew]

I appreciate your time on this Marcella

Cheers

yes I think so Brian, I’m not dealing directly with the client but thru a promotions company. This bloke is a big sponsor of motor cross racing, and I do the signs for the team owner who has just signed him up as his main sponsor.

Do you know him?.

[Brian Little]

no no not atol .just all those years ago the name just rings a bell thats all

Regards Brian 😀

[Shane Drew]

afraid so mate, everything I have presented has been knocked back. Apparantly the original artwork has ‘gone missing’

[Marcella Ross]

Shane, I’m sorry I can’t find it 🙁 I’ve looked 😮 through all my files currently on my hard drive and I haven’t managed to find it…… strange thing is, it was on one of four signs done for the same job for advertising on a football park and I’ve got the other three…… 😕

😥 😥 sorry!

Not a bad idea, just about revectorised it myself tho, a few more minutes and I’m done.

Cheers

[Shane Drew]

not the best vector I’ve done, but if anyone wants this now that I have it, just let me know.

Cheers

thats a very good vector shane

[Brian Little]

mmhow do you vectorize an image anyway ? 😳 😳 .What i do is scan an image …..trace it and try and sort out with a system 0f nodes etc ….ive got signlab 4.95 ……am i missing something …i mean is there a better way ?

Regards Brian

I knew someone would find this after I re drew it :banghead: 😥 😥

Thanks Leigh. I’d say it is the same for sure. A lot different from the embroidered sample I had to go off.

I appreciate you taking the time to send it 😛 Thanks again

Thanks Dave

Brian, I import the image into Corel, and use the node tool to make a rough outline of the image, and then go back and smooth it out with bezier curves or arcs.

If you are doing a logo, the secret to a quick vector is look at the image as a series of shapes (circles, squares and rectangles etc.) then you can weld them, and go back and tidy it up later. Not all vectors are like that, but you can certainly use the concept in most situations.

signlab 4.95 is the best at vectorizing…well i think it is 😀 your okay with what your doing brian, with you being a signwriter you can follow the shape of a letter no bother and tidy it up….and what shane says is good too for more tips 😉
