Hi all!

I have an old logo from one of our companies which we need in an illustrator format so we can print a large scale copy off. I have been given the only copy we have of it and its a small scale .png file.

I want to be able to recreate this in Illustrator and was wondering if I can convert this in to a shape/path so its scale-able... is there anyone on here that can help me?

below is an example of the png

Thanks

    Hi,

    you can use "Image trace". Set Tracing workspace and choose the correct preset (Black and white logo could be fine). Change the advanced options to modify the result.

    If you can't make Image Trace work exactly enough for your pruposes, then you will need to draw this manually.

    Use brushes, variable width strokes and the pen tool.
