Thread: Need some help jpeg to Adobe Illustrator?

I need my company logo transferred from a JPEG to Adobe Illustrator file. If anyone can help me please shoot me a PM I can paypal you some cash for you trouble if you would like.......

There is no way to transfer a file from jpeg to .ai. Any professionally done logo needs to be in .ai so its a vector based file and it can be sized. The logo needs to be recreated. Can you show me the logo and I will give you more input.

Raw,
Thanks in advance. Here is the logo, I'm having some pressure gauges made with my company logo and the new company that I'm dealing with needs the file in AI format to get it into their program.

RAWMEAN nailed it... it would need to be re-drawn in Illustrator, thus creating a vector version of the artwork (vector being based on math versus pixels... you can enlarge a vector image with no loss in quality, separate colors more precisely, etc).

I had a similar requirement for a project that I was working on, so I found some software that would vectorize a jpg file.. did this for DINOONE and hoping that it'll work for what he needs done too..
Definitely not disagreeing with Raw or PCK (I'm not a graphics person at all), just curious if you think the software is actually vectorizing it?

No doubt that script-run software like you're mentioning will create a vector file... it boils down to how you'll use the final product, and how much of a prick you are about quality and control over the artwork (I obsess over each path... a few parts OCD, a few too many cups of coffee...). Drawing in a vector program (like Illustrator) allows the artist a lot of control over the paths (the actual lines and segments in the drawing), and having a "clean" path (i.e. minimal points, or stops-and-starts along a line) will yield a smoother final piece with higher quality, and a smaller file size, not to mention correct encoding of the art for transfer between programs, etc...

Definitely cool to see rapid-work programs popping up, and they certainly have a place for those quick jobs... they'll continuously improve, no doubt there. and no disagreement seen at all! In fact, it's great to see a different opinion offered, and glad to hear it worked!
