Logo vectorization for sign, wrap and print shops
Your customer sent a JPG. Your cutter, printer or router needs a vector. A designer redraws the logo by hand — proper curves, the fewest anchor points that hold the shape — and you get every format your production floor asks for. From $15, quoted before you pay.

What you are buying
A redraw, not a trace
Auto-trace is what you are trying to get away from. Run a 300-pixel JPG through Image Trace and you get wobbly edges, four thousand anchor points, and corners that were never corners. It looks fine at business-card size and falls apart the moment it goes on a storefront.
Logo vectorization done properly means a person rebuilds the mark: straight lines where the original intended straight lines, true circles and arcs, type re-set in the matching font or redrawn letter by letter when the font cannot be identified. The result is a file you can scale to a 40-foot wall, send to a plotter, or hand to a screen printer without a cleanup pass.
What you send
Whatever you have. A JPG or PNG off their website, a PDF of their old business card, a screenshot from Facebook, a photo of a truck door. Low resolution is the normal case, not the exception. If it is big, drop a link in the notes.
What you get back
- AI · EPS · SVG · PDF — editable vector, fonts outlined, plus the live-type version
- Transparent PNG at 4000 px and a JPG for proofs and email
- Solid colors set as spot swatches; Pantone on request
- Black and reversed one-color versions on every job
- Layers named so your production people can find things

FAQ
Questions about logo vectorization
What is logo vectorization?
Rebuilding a pixel-based image (JPG, PNG, a screenshot, a photo) as a vector file made of mathematical curves. A vector scales to any size with no blur, cuts cleanly on a plotter, and separates by color for printing. At Trade Desk Graphics a designer redraws the mark by hand rather than running it through auto-trace.
How much does it cost to vectorize a logo?
Three flat rates: $15 for a simple one- or two-color mark, $30 for multi-color flat artwork, $45 for gradients, shading or illustration. You get the exact price by email before you pay anything.
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.
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, solid colors set as spot swatches, and black and reversed one-color versions on every job.
Is it white label?
Yes. Trade only. Your customer never sees our name on anything.
