Create only one .AI logo for use After Effects

[.Sander.]

Hello everyone,

Which Adobe Illustrator user wants to help me convert just 1 .psd logo to an .ai vector logo?

I need this to create a 3D logo using the "shape from vector layer" feature in Adobe After Effects. This should also be possible with an .eps logo, but then an error message will appear. "After Effects cannot create outlines due to empty or unsupported content."

I have tried several psd to ai converters on the internet but nothing helps. The converted ai files are up to 5kb in size.

To install a trial version of Adobe Illustrator to convert just 1 file and then uninstall it I find a bit unnecessary.

Could someone convert this logo to an .ai file for me?
Thank you

So you have an EPS file with vector content?

Hello Monika,
Yes but if I want to create a shape from this vector layer this warning appears:

Then maybe upload that EPS and someone could just open it in Illustrator and save it as an AI file.

I found the problem why I get this warning in After Effects. If I open the .eps with Photoshop, I can see the logo but very slightly but it had the same color as the background.
You can see what I mean in the attached .eps file

Unfortunately it's not a vector EPS.

So this would really need to be vectorized first.

You can vectorize it in Photoshop. The logo just consists of straight lines that you can draw as a shape layer.

Then you need the font. Set those letters in that font and then outline that. You will then only need someone that can convert your PSD sile to an AI file (saved PDF compatible).

You can do a search for this logo and find the vector versions.

Hello Ton,
Thank you for your help.
I didn't know this site yet and since there is actually a copyright on our logo, I didn't think I would find it on the internet.
Thank you

Good to hear that helped. It is always better to have the original vectors than a second hand trace version.
