How To Make Emblem Smaller And Pixel Perfect?


Question

My emblem, XXIV, is something I've cherished since I was 15 and I'm trying to make it show clearly without the jagged edges when it's smaller, which I don't know how to.

I originally made this in Photoshop and honestly have trouble putting this through Illustrator since I never really touch that program, honestly. I wish everything I had could just be @2X.

Can anyone help? :/

Here's the emblem: http://www.behance.n...-Emblem/7172771

There are actually 2 emblems, the logo (without the ribbons) represents Art Made Fresh, and then the ribbon added represents The XXIV.

The problem with making something smaller is that all the pixels no longer fit, so you obviously have to start losing some.

Usually photoshop handles this quite well though.

How small are we talking?

50% size, not understanding the issue here? Unless you want it even smaller

It wouldn't work, plus it blows some of the original lines out of proportion, I tried in Illustrator.

Here's the original logo.

At this point I don't know what you actually want. You have be given many excellent examples of scaled down versions that look as close as possible. And tracing doesn't make the lines put of proportion, not if you do it right or use a decent tracer. The lines will scale properly untill 1 pixel then it sorta depends on the rasterizer quality how it handles it.

Basically this. It's frustrating honestly, for years actually. Viewing the image full, then you'll notice.

I see what you're saying. I'm thinking that the image was created in 72 dpi, Photoshop's default res. You will see smoother edges if you create the image in, lets say 300 dpi.

    • Yes, it was amusing at the time because even then dbrand was well known for stealing the designs of products from other companies. That’s what they do.
    • Didn’t Dbrand once complain that Casetify was ripping off their designs a well? seems pretty bad of them to try and get around Valve’s copyright this way with that in mind.
    • Dbrand thought they could get away with this Steam Machine case, Valve disagreed by David Uzondu Image via Dbrand Dbrand has cancelled its highly anticipated Companion Cube enclosure for the Valve Steam Machine, which it teased back in November of last year with a concept render and sign-up page, because it did not ask Valve for permission first before manufacturing the case. According to Dbrand, it took the "backwards approach" of building the product first before asking for permission from the copyright holder. Seven months of work went into the project, requiring over a thousand engineering hours from the design team. Workers developed forty-four sets of injection molding tools, making a unique mold for each sub-component of the crate. When the Companion Cube went live on Monday last week, it, according to Dbrand, quickly became the second-fastest-selling product in the company's fifteen-year history, racking up orders for hundreds of thousands of units. Customers eagerly bought the $129.95 deluxe edition or the bare-bones $99.95 version, which the manufacturer cheekily branded as the "Poverty Cube". It was around this time that the legal eagles at Valve descended on the accessory maker with a formal demand. The developer pointed out that the iconic block design remains protected intellectual property from the game Portal, so unlicensed sales had to stop. Dbrand said that all its pleas to salvage the project with the Valve team, including proposals to run a properly licensed release under official terms "with their blessing", fell on deaf ears, so it had no choice but to obey and remove every trace of the product from the internet. If you bought the enclosure, the company said that banks will process your refund by the end of this week, but if it still hasn't arrived in your account by then, you should not hesitate to contact support. The Steam Machine itself is a high-performance console that Valve designed directly to bring PC gaming into the living room. It was announced on 12th November 2025 (the same day Dbrand announced the Cube) and runs on the Linux-based SteamOS, the same OS that powers the Steam Deck. As for the price, due to the shortage of memory and storage chips, the hardware cost landed much higher than people were expecting, starting at $1,049 for the 512 model (without a controller) or $1,128 with the new gamepad. The premium 2 TB model pushes those prices even higher, selling at $1,349 for the standalone console and hitting $1,428 if you want the bundle.
