Logo Recreation

Challenge: A low-quality raster of their dark horizontal lockup, the heron illustration and wordmark were too soft and artifact-ridden to scale or use for production.

Solution: The logo was recreated from scratch in vector, then redesigned into a circular badge format as requested, giving the brand a cleaner, more versatile mark with the heron and wordmark rebuilt to production standard.

Deliverables: SVG, EPS, PDF, AI, and transparent PNG.

PNG to SVG Conversion

Challenge: This bearded armored character, flat colour blocks, blue background panels, and white plate armour only existed as a raster PNG that broke into pixel steps at any larger scale, making it unusable for print or merchandise.

Solution: Each colour region was traced as a separate closed vector shape, skin tones, armour panels, chest plate, and facial features, producing a fully layered SVG that scales infinitely and allows individual areas to be recoloured for different variants.

Deliverables: SVG, optimized PNG preview, and editable source file.

LOGO RECREATION

Placeholder projects for rebuilding existing logos into clean master files.

Blurry Logo Restoration

Challenge: The Club Dinomight Community badge, a roaring T-rex with a lightning bolt, circular text, and double-ring border on dark green only existed as a small compressed image, too muddy to use on apparel or merchandise at any meaningful size.

Solution: Every component was rebuilt individually: the T-rex jaw and teeth redrawn as clean paths, the lightning bolt sharpened into a crisp geometric shape, the circular text re-set on a precise arc, and the double-ring border reconstructed with exact spacing.

Deliverables: Editable vector source, SVG, PDF, and PNG previews.

Vector Cleanup & Refinement

Challenge: This circular badge logo had excess anchor points creating uneven curves, with inconsistent stroke weights across the outer ring and inner emblem detail.

Solution: Rebuilt the ring paths with even node distribution, smoothed every curve segment, and unified stroke weights so the emblem reads cleanly at any size.

Deliverables: Clean SVG, EPS, PDF, and production PNG.

RASTER TO VECTOR

Placeholder projects for converting pixel-based artwork into editable vectors.

Raster to Vector Conversion

Challenge: The RCG Construction logo existed only as a low-resolution raster image pixelated at print size and unusable for embroidery or large-format output.

Solution: Each element — the circular border, the bold RCG letterforms, and the surrounding company name text — was individually recreated as clean vector shapes with scalable paths.

Deliverables: SVG, EPS, PDF, AI, and PNG

Hand Sketch to Vector

Challenge: The Indoor Experts concept was a rough pencil sketch organic, freehand, and full of construction lines that made it impossible to use professionally.

Solution: The core shapes and layout intent were preserved while every form was redrawn as smooth, precise paths, producing a polished final mark true to the original concept.

Deliverables: Editable source, SVG, PDF, and transparent PNG.

ILLUSTRATION VECTORIZATION

Placeholder projects for artwork with more detail than simple logos.

Illustration Vectorization

Challenge: The "Forces at Work" editorial illustration had soft, blurry edges and rasterized icons that broke apart when scaled for print or digital banner use.

Solution: Each icon element, background shape, and typographic layer was individually traced and rebuilt, producing crisp, independently editable vector layers.

Deliverables: SVG, PDF, EPS, and PNG export.

Technical Drawing Vectorization

Challenge: The Luna Moth Boutique logo used a delicate circular emblem with fine linework that was blurring and losing detail when resized for merchandise and signage.

Solution: The moth emblem outlines, concentric ring strokes, and script logotype were each rebuilt with precise vector geometry, preserving the elegant feel at any scale.

Deliverables: SVG, PDF, EPS, and editable source file.

PRINT READY ARTWORK

Placeholder projects for vendor-ready production files.

Print Ready Artwork Conversion

Challenge: This green dragon illustration had compressed JPG artifacts, undefined bleed areas, and RGB color values that would shift unpredictably on press.

Solution: The artwork was converted to CMYK, color profiles normalized, bleed and safe zones set to vendor specs, and all layers flattened into production-ready output files.

Deliverables: EPS, PDF(Print), SVG, and high-res PNG.

Embroidery Vector Preparation

Challenge: This turbaned portrait mascot had gradient fills, fine facial details, and color gradations that digitizing machines cannot read, requiring a full structural simplification.

Solution: All gradients were replaced with flat spot colors, fine details were consolidated into bold, stitch-friendly shapes, and the color count was reduced to a clean embroidery-ready palette.

Deliverables: SVG, EPS, PDF, DST, and reference PNG.
