Vector Conversions
Images can be of two types, raster based and vector based. Raster based or pixel based file formats (.GIF, .TIF, .BMP, .JPG) are made up of pixels. Other than using this image on the web and printing, there's not really much we can do with it. We can't even enlarge it, the image pixelates rather badly.
Vector images can be scaled to any size, without any loss in quality of the image. They can be easily edited, thus the best choice for a logo or any other line art is a vector based image.
We create a vector logo from a raster image. These images are created using Corel Draw. The raster image is manually traced, to produce artwork of the highest quality. In order to convert your logo to all the correct formats, our designers first have to convert your logo into a VECTOR based format. This is done by literally tracing the outlines of each shape using a professional VECTOR based drawing program (Corel draw). This is a fairly time consuming process and requires a highly skilled designer. Hopefully, we will have the correct font that it used in your logo and can simply replace the PIXEL based version. If not, we'll have to trace the font by hand and that will increase production time significantly.
The best choice for logos and other line art is an EPS file (Encapsulated Post Script). EPS is a high resolution image stored in the Postscript page description language. The EPS standard enables users to transfer high-resolution graphics images between applications. You can size EPS images without sacrificing image quality. EPS files are typically generated from vector based programs such as Adobe Illustrator, Macromedia Freehand, or CorelDraw. EPS files are fully scalable and are not susceptible to distortion. Also, spot colors are easily specified in vector programs, which comes in handy if your project is not going to be produced in 4-color process.

If you want to use this option you need to send an email to uploads@imagetovector.com requesting FTP details.
