How do I turn an image into just a logo?

There are multiple ways.  It really depends on the shape that you want to covert.

You can add an image to a layer, then turn that layer into a template.  That makes it lighter in color.  Then in the layers above it... you can rebuild the logo using the pen tool or shape tools.

Also, if you take a picture of an object (let's say an antique camera) sitting on a white background using the Adobe Capture App... you can take that image of the antique camera and turn it into a vector graphic.  This will upload directly to Illustrator and then you can use it as a vector graphic.  Recolor it or anything else that you want to do. Then that could be used as a logo for let's say a photographer.  This can be done with almost any object.

And that is not all.  There are millions of ways to create a logo.  So many YouTube videos as well with different techniques. It really depends on the logo you are making.

Hi. For better understanding, please share a screenshot of the logo and explain the issue as much as you can.

Your post generates more questions than answers.

You refer to "your logo."

• Is it yours? That is, do you own it?
• How (and by whom) was it created originally?
• Are you certain the original design is unavailable in its original vector format?
• What exactly do you mean by "picture of" the logo? Is it just a rasterized copy, or was it literally snapped with a camera?

What file format is it and what do you need to end up with?
