I’m not an expert on tracing, so I treat this tool as a black box with knobs and lights, twisting and changing until I get the best result. Open the Trace Bitmap Tool Path->Trace Bitmap.The steps are common for any vectorization we might want to do. The tracing tool for Inkscape is based the Potrace, it won’t hurt you to know that this is what we’ll be using. Inkscape is an open-source vector graphics editor, and as the title implies, this is the tool that I’ll use to vectorise the logos. There’s a lot of manuals online for this, an in-depth one with good examples can be found in Tavmjong Bah’s website. With a couple of examples, a graceful one and a crazy one. In this post we’ll see how to create a vector file from a pixmap (jpg, png, whatever raster format that Inkscape can open). Other ones don’t even have a computer where the logo is stored. Some bars have their fancy logos already as a vector image.

The idea is to do a little of propaganda: banners, t-shirts, mugs all the way! And now, for something completely different.įor a coming event we want to use logos from different bars and cafes around the block.
