This was the logo I originally wanted to use for the drinks club as it is the original art work above the door. I started sketching it out which was a lot harder than I thought because you need a steady hand to ensure when you scan it in its as smooth as possible, otherwise it'll look unprofessional. This is the problem I was up against whilst trying to digitise the logo. The significant problem was my sketch didn't seem to be drawn out well enough to scan in and digitise and I lacked the experience in photoshop/illustrator to fix the logo:
This is the logo drawn out and scanned in which doesn't look too bad from a distance, however when you get up close you can see areas of it that show very obviously pen lines and textures, lines and areas that need a smoother curve. Live tracing still didn't help solve the curve textures and it didn't look to a good enough standard to actually use:
digital:
After trying this approach I looked at live tracing of a photograph of the original plaque the logo featured on (as it was hand painted the original lines aren't as smooth and so created a jagged final outcome)
I then looked at how I could possibly manipulate the image to look smoother, editing anchor points and adding new lines with the pen-tool. You can see the C on the right looks smoother, and has made a difference but the process was too time consuming for the result I got. Im not happy enough with the outcome to continue as I feel it will take a long time, which wouldn't be a problem if I thought I was going to be happy with the design. I think this is probably something I need to put a bit of time into when the deadline is not so close.
