Might someone help me with this?

[Angela]

A new customer came in today with this hand written design. I am not very good at redesigning something like this. I am wondering where to go from here. Any recommendations on who I can send this to would be appreciated.

Should take less than a minute.

not trying to take business away from Eric, but people need to learn somewhere which this would only take a few minutes cause it's not complicated.

there use to be a good video or tutorial here, but i can't find it at the moment.

so here is the idea to recreating something simple in a few words from what i have learned. Hope it helps..

btw...
its a really bad logo. can't hardly tell it says RX underneath the weed leaf.

 

[slappy]

you know, i thought it was weed, but didn't see it

Then you said that and i tilted my head and looked at it again, and now i see it lol
wonder why i didn't see it last night.....

 

[trimitbyrich]

Must admit I didn't see the RX till you mentioned it. Yeah not good

 

[Bigdawg]

Yeah - talk the customer out of this one. RX under a pot leaf might not be the best branding for them - unless that's what they want. Ask them how the green diamond/leafy thing is supposed to tie into their business. But definitely offer them some alternative layouts if it has to stay. I saw a P and an X not RX when I looked at it.

Thank you so much Slapakiss, this is exactly what I was in need of. What program did you use to recreate this? I tried to vector it in illy but to no avail. I am sure you do not have time for a play by play but if you could tell me how you started I would appreciate it. Thanks again

Yeah - talk the customer out of this one.

OH Bigdawg how I tried to talk her out of this design but she was hellbent.

 

[HDvinyl]

vector it in illy

 

[slappy]

Your welcome Angela, no problem.

adjusted the color to black and white and did a live trace and saved it as an eps in illustrator

then i imported it into flexi cause i'm better with the tools there then i am in illustrator as i'm still learning that program and straightened up any lines and redid the corners and then took it in photoshop and played with the colors for a minute.


hope this helps you

 

[slappy]

can you clean up or scan either of these?

This is traced in Illustrator using slapakiss suggestion of making a black and white in Photoshop first and then bring over to Illus.
