Re: logo graphics design tool

you or someone with artistic skills can do artwork manually on paper

I've scanned several logos from customer documents and brochures.
(unfortunately they no longer or never had the artwork files).
The .gif or .jpg image for webserver, or conversion to as400 overlay
has always been rough around edges and unprofessional looking.
If I have to scan, I need a product that can clean it up, or same
product to draw a new logo.

Here's what I would try: When scanning the image, use as high a resolution as possible and save the JPEG with a quality of 100% to ensure no artifacts are introduced by the compression. (Areas of solid red especially are often mangled horribly with less that 90% quality!) Then, convert the image to indexed with as few colors as possible while keeping the colors acceptable. Also, check out the image sharpening and enhancement options in your image program of choice.

Cheers! Hans
