Atujara logo makeover in progress.

Turning a “jaggy” unusable logo into clean web & print files

Velocette Racing New Zealand organisation logo. Classic racing motorcycle enthusiasts organisation brand. ‘Coca-Cola’ style sloped and looped copperplate lettering in metallic gold on a black background, consistent with the historic livery of Velocette motorcycles. Brands for New Zealand / International organisations.You’ve got a scan of a great retro logo, everything looks perfect when you look at it at small size on the screen. But when it needs to be printed at a large size, it turns out to be unusable because the file format is incorrect. A logo makeover is the BRAND-AID® that turns unusable logos into clean web & print files by converting the jaggy, pixellated logo to a clean vector drawing format that is future proof.

The logo makeover begins with an analysis of the original

The rough old artwork is scanned then it’s a case of “throw it away and start afresh”. It is redrawn traced over the original, then the details are cleaned up manually, “by eye”, to create a new, high resolution “parent” or source file.

The unusable original version of the logo is the wrong resolution for high quality printing

The unusable original image of the logo is no use for high quality printing.

The final Vector based images are very small and scale up and down without loss of image quality. With low quality originals a logo makeover is the only way to get finished art that can be reproduced at any size or resolution. Vector files future proof and they are mandatory for high quality printing and low cost “cut vinyl” signage.
