Converting image to vector? - 2/14/2006 10:32:50   
Hi, if this has already been covered then my apologies.

I am new to logo design and I created this x-rayed logo for a client (attached). They like the logo and have given it the ok and now I need to supply them with different versions of the logo. i.e print versions, web versions etc. The problem now is that I only created this original file this small! And it’s a bitmap! I heard that if the image is a vector I will be able to re-scale it without a problem and can give the client different versions this way. Or is there a better way to do it? What is teh best way of going about this?

Please help me out as I have no idea! I have illustrator, flash and fireworks.

Thanks,

Cara

PS If anyone has any logo design tips for a newbie then please let me know.

Hi Cara,

Welcome to OutFront forums!

There is a tutorial for converting bitmaps to vector art in Illustrator here:

It might help.
