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I originally made this in Photoshop and honestly have trouble putting this through Illustrator since I never really touch that program, honestly.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

Traced the original image in CorelDraw then resized the exported .png

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.

    • This is weird. Mythos is more unrestricted compared to Fable. Technically it poses more risk!!
    • This is a great thing, I always have issues with Verizon while inside of certain football stadiums due to the saturation and walls blocking signal so a LOS way to connect would be great. Verizon was supposed to be offering sat data this year but I've not heard a word of it lately. Dude is sending rockets into space in a cheap manner, low waste foot print and has a great product with solar/battery tech. We would be so far behind China right now if not for him and a push to get back into space.
    • illegally? Proof of that? Seems you are posting misinformation or well a pure straight up lie cause there is zero proof of such a thing. But I get it...
