taito logo - out come the vectorizing experts ... hopefully!
« on: August 09, 2010, 07:25:39 PM »
for my soon-to-begin jungle king project i'm having brian from gamestencils.com cut me some stencils. however, one stencil is still missing - and that is the famous taito logo for the speaker area. this hasn't been scanned / vectorized yet and since i have no idea how to vectorize an image, i'd like to ask if one of you guys could take on this task of vectorizing the taito logo. from what i know, it should be a fairly easy quick task (almost only straight lines, only a few things to fix), but i simply don't have the tools / the knowledge to do that myself.

here's a preview of the logo :arrow:



you can download the image in hi-res version here :arrow:

i forgot to mention that i need that file as soon and as fast as possible since brian is getting ready to ship stuff out to my place, so i'd love to have this included in the box. if someone is willing to vectorize that file for me, please let us know by replying here - not that we have 5 vectorized taito logos in the end ;). if zorg were still around, i'd ask him, but it's been extemely difficult getting hold of him lately ... :ghost:

would be great if someone could help me out - thx guys!!! :spaceace:

thx a lot, flip, but unfortunately you only vectorized the file without doing any corrections. i need this as sharp / smooth / straight as possible!

the task is still up for grabs ;D

it can, but of course it isn't "intelligent" enough to do the touch-ups. i guess i'll have to do those by hand on the original image first and then have it vectorized. i just thought someone from this forum could do this easily. i'll give it a little while longer before i either touch it up by hand or pass it on to someone on klov. the problem is that i need to have this SOON!

Did you do it yourself in the end? Would be pretty damn easy to vectorise that from scratch, all straight lines and only two colours  ;D

Adobe illustrator is pretty straight through to start using - but takes time to master.
