Looking for opinions/help with a logo

Post by No Class »

I am having difficulty getting my mind around how to get a Wendy's logo onto a bike rack name plate. Any help or constructive suggestions would be appreciated. The second images is of a finished product. First images is a pretty standard Wendy's logo. Plate thickness is 3/16 and is roughly 24"wide by 12" high.

Thanks

Here is two ways to wrap your head around it LOL.... Inkscape is free program and the trace bitmap in the program works wonders... They may need some clean up my laptop wont link segments together .

Did the Wendy's franchise permit this? Even if you are putting it in front of a Wendy's restaurant , they might not have the rights of logo reproduction like this.

It was forwarded to me by the franchise owner. I also have it in an .ai file and one other file format which I can't recall. To answer your question directly I can only assume that they have followed the proper protocol from their end. It did take them a little while to get the project approved. I plan on asking that question directly when I forward a proof to them for final approval. In the mean time I need to get a good looking proof. I am good with the text, it's the image that I am struggling with. I have used the trace feature on the torchmate cad software I use but I can't get my mind around what to cut and what to leave to get it to look right. I am still learning, I have only had this table for a couple months.

Here is one way I have learned to deal with the same questions about other things. I look for a black and white picture or something like that. In this case I found red and white. The linked page has several pictures that are red and white that should give you something to work with. You may even be able to ask the franchise owner for the single color proof to trace and be right in line with the company specs.

I know the topic of the linked page is off topic, but the pictures are priceless for what you want. Just scroll down.
