Vector Logo Recreation & Cleanup
HarborGoods Co. — Vector Logo Recreation & One-Color Production System
This project focused on converting a multi-color, illustration-heavy logo into a controlled, production-reliable vector system suitable for apparel, embroidery, and general merchandise. The original artwork required simplification and color discipline to reduce print risk while preserving brand character. The final deliverables provide scalable, single-color and pure black versions that perform consistently across decoration methods and vendor environments.
Scope of Work
Full vector recreation with corrected paths and consistent stroke logic
Color reduction from multi-tone illustration to controlled one-color output
Development of simplified and pure black logo variants
Cleanup of overlaps, negative space, and fine details for production safety
Export preparation for screen print, embroidery, and digital use
Production Considerations
Closed, clean paths to prevent stitching and trapping errors
Removal of unnecessary detail to maintain legibility at small sizes
One-color builds optimized for single-screen setups and thread limitations
Stroke and gap tolerances adjusted for embroidery digitization
Black-only version ensures predictable output across vendors and substrates
A press-ready, vendor-friendly logo system that reduces production variables, supports multiple decoration methods, and ensures long-term brand consistency without rework or interpretation errors.
Sunny’s Preserve Co. — Logo Simplification for Screen Printing & Embroidery
This project focused on converting a highly detailed, illustration-driven brand mark into a production-safe logo system for apparel and stitched goods. The original artwork contained gradients, fine detail, and overlapping color that introduced risk in screen printing and embroidery workflows. The solution was a controlled vector rebuild with simplified shapes, disciplined color separation, and reliable one- and two-color versions designed for repeatable production.
SCOPE OF WORK
Full vector recreation and cleanup of the original illustrated logo
Color reduction and simplification for one- and two-color printing
Creation of pure black and single-ink logo variants
Spot-color separation planning for screen printing
Export setup for embroidery digitizing and apparel decoration
PRODUCTION CONSIDERATIONS
Fine illustration detail removed or merged to prevent fill-in on press and thread breaks in embroidery
All paths closed and overlaps resolved to eliminate trapping and stitching errors
Minimum stroke weights and negative space adjusted for small-format garments
Underbase-friendly shapes prepared to support printing on dark substrates
Black-only version ensures predictable output across different shops and equipment
A production-ready logo system that translates cleanly from screen print to embroidery, reduces setup complexity for apparel shops, and minimizes reprint risk while preserving brand recognition across all garment applications.
Industrial Wire & Tool — RGB-to-Print Color Correction & Vector Cleanup
This project addressed the common issue of high-impact RGB logo artwork failing to translate reliably to print. The original logo relied on neon glow effects and RGB color values that are not reproducible in CMYK or spot ink workflows. The solution was a controlled vector rebuild with corrected color values, simplified structure, and print-safe knockouts to ensure consistent results across signage, apparel, and offset or digital print.
SCOPE OF WORK
Full vector recreation and cleanup of RGB-based logo artwork
Conversion from RGB neon effects to print-safe CMYK values
Pantone spot color matching for brand consistency
Removal of glow, gradient, and lighting effects
Preparation of clean flat-color logo variants for print use
PRODUCTION CONSIDERATIONS
RGB glow effects eliminated to prevent muddy or unpredictable CMYK output
Pantone spot colors selected to maintain visual strength without over-inking
Knockout and trapping logic adjusted for clean edge definition
Flat fills and consistent stroke weights ensure compatibility with vinyl, screen print, and signage
Simplified color structure reduces press setup time and minimizes registration issues
A production-reliable logo system that maintains brand impact in real-world print conditions, ensuring consistent color reproduction, reduced press adjustments, and smooth handoff to any print or signage vendor.
BARCS Property Services — Auto-Trace Cleanup & Precision Vector Rebuild
This project corrected a logo that had been created through rough auto-tracing, resulting in unstable geometry and unreliable print output. Excessive anchor points and uneven curves introduced distortion at scale and increased the risk of cutting and printing errors. The solution was a disciplined vector rebuild that restored symmetry, reduced complexity, and produced clean, predictable artwork suitable for signage, apparel, and large-format use.
SCOPE OF WORK
Manual vector reconstruction to replace low-quality live trace output
Significant anchor-point reduction for smoother geometry
Bézier curve refinement for consistent line flow
Shape and symmetry correction across icon and typography
Export preparation for print, vinyl cutting, and digital use
PRODUCTION CONSIDERATIONS
Reduced anchor count improves RIP performance and cutter reliability
Smooth, continuous curves prevent chatter on vinyl cutters and routers
Balanced stroke weights ensure consistent ink coverage at all sizes
Clean geometry eliminates jagged edges and scaling artifacts
Simplified paths reduce file corruption risk during vendor handoff
A clean, production-safe logo with predictable behavior across print, signage, and apparel workflows—eliminating trace-related errors and ensuring consistent results at any scale.
Greenmark 8 Golf Co. — Low-Resolution Logo Rebuild for Scalable Print Use
This project involved reconstructing a brand logo that existed only as a low-resolution, heavily compressed web image. The original file suffered from jagged edges, blurred typography, and compression artifacts that made it unusable for print or merchandise. The solution was a full vector rebuild focused on clean geometry, corrected letterforms, and true scalability for apparel, signage, and promotional use.
SCOPE OF WORK
Manual vector reconstruction from a low-resolution JPEG source
Redrawing of all curves and circular geometry for smooth Bézier flow
Typography correction to restore consistent stroke weight and spacing
Cleanup of artifacts and edge distortion caused by compression
Export of clean, scalable vector files for print and digital use
PRODUCTION CONSIDERATIONS
Rebuilt curves eliminate pixel stair-stepping at large sizes
Clean circular geometry ensures accurate cutting, printing, and routing
Corrected letterforms improve legibility on apparel and small-format items
Flat vector shapes prevent RIP interpretation errors
Artwork scales cleanly from embroidery patches to large-format signage
A fully scalable, production-ready logo that replaces an unusable web asset with clean vector artwork—enabling consistent branding, reliable vendor output, and long-term use across print, apparel, and signage without quality loss.

Forge & Bolt Mechanical Inc. — Damaged Vehicle Decal Reconstruction
This project involved rebuilding a company logo from a real-world reference where the only available source was a damaged, cracked vinyl decal photographed on a service vehicle. The original artwork was distorted by surface curvature, wear, and physical damage, making direct reuse impossible. The solution was a clean vector reconstruction that restored accurate proportions, corrected geometry, and produced a dependable master logo suitable for reprinting, signage, and future fleet applications.
SCOPE OF WORK
Manual vector reconstruction from a photographed, damaged decal
Perspective correction to compensate for vehicle panel curvature
Cleanup and redrawing of broken, missing, or worn elements
Restoration of typography, icon symmetry, and layout balance
Preparation of clean, print-ready vector master files
PRODUCTION CONSIDERATIONS
Rebuilt geometry ensures clean edges for vinyl cutting and printing
Corrected proportions eliminate distortion when applied to flat substrates
Closed paths and simplified shapes reduce failure risk during reprint
Color structure stabilized for consistent output across replacement decals
Artwork prepared to scale reliably across vehicle sizes and materials
A fully restored, production-ready logo recreated from imperfect real-world reference—allowing the client to replace damaged decals, maintain brand consistency, and confidently deploy the artwork across vehicles, signage, and future print applications without quality loss.
