FAQ
The short answers
Is this auto-traced?
No. A designer redraws the mark with proper curves and the fewest points that hold the shape. Auto-trace is what you are trying to get away from.
What is logo vectorization?
Rebuilding a pixel-based image (JPG, PNG, screenshot, photo) as a vector file made of curves and shapes. A vector scales to any size with no blur, cuts cleanly on a plotter, and separates by color for printing.
How do I know which tier my graphic is?
You do not have to. Send it and the quote tells you. Simple is one or two flat colors; Standard is multi-color flat detail; Complex is gradients, shading or illustration.
How much does it cost?
Simple Graphic $15, Standard Graphic $30, Complex Graphic $45 — flat, per graphic. You get the exact number by email before you pay.
When do I pay?
After you approve the quote. We email a Stripe payment link; work starts when it clears. No account, no card on file.
Can I pay by ACH or card?
Both. The Stripe payment link takes card or ACH bank transfer.
How long does it take?
Files come back in 24–48 hours, Monday through Friday. Rush is quoted on the job and only promised if we can actually hit it.
Can you do it today?
Sometimes. Rush is quoted on the job — usually double the tier price — and only promised when we can hit it. Pick “Rush” on the form or put RUSH in the subject line.
What file types can I send?
Anything. JPG, PNG, GIF, PDF, a screenshot, a photo of a sign or a business card. Up to 10 MB on the form; bigger files, drop a link in the notes.
What files do I get back?
AI, EPS, SVG and PDF with fonts outlined plus a live-type version, a transparent PNG at 4000 px, a JPG for proofs, every solid color as a spot swatch, and black and reversed one-color versions.
Do you match Pantone or vinyl colors?
Yes. Put the Pantone, vinyl or paint code in the notes and we set the swatches to it. Without a reference we match the source as closely as the source allows.
What if the font cannot be identified?
We match it where we can. When we cannot, the letters are redrawn by hand to match the original.
What if it comes back wrong?
Tell us what is off and we fix it. Revisions within the included rounds are free; if we plainly missed, the redo is on us.
How many revision rounds are included?
One on Simple, two on Standard and Complex. Fixing our own mistake never counts as a revision.
Is this white label?
Yes. Trade only. Your customer never sees our name on anything.
Do you work directly with the public?
No. Trade Desk Graphics is trade only — sign shops, wrap shops, print shops, screen printers, embroiderers and promo distributors.
Do you offer a batch rate?
Yes, at ten or more graphics a month. Ask in the notes or by email.
Do you charge sales tax?
Where required. If you are buying for resale or are tax exempt, upload your certificate on the tax exemption page and we take it off your invoices.
Do you do wrap layouts, sign design or embroidery digitizing?
No. We rebuild logos and brand artwork as clean vector files. Layout, design and digitizing stay in your shop.
Who owns the files?
You do, and your customer does through you. We keep a copy only so a re-send is quick.
Got artwork sitting on a sold job?
