Easy to vectorize?

[Joony]

I've been tasked to vectorize a logo during my free-time on winter break!

After watching some tutorial videos on Adobe Illustrator, it doesn't seem that bad, for the B&W one at least.

Do you guys have any tips for vectorizing this specific image?

source (I've tried to find the original without any luck at all )

Because of a lack of funds, money can't really be spent to have it done professionally, so I might as well pick up some experience and try to give a decent output.

By the way, does anyone know the font used on the banner portion?

thanks all!

You could trace it with a graphics tablet, or use a trace program. I use the tracer that came with Visual Cad.

Holy cow! I will have to play around with this some more! (I tried live trace from Adobe and it didn't work as well!)

However, I'd still like to make an original that wasn't just scanned like that, where I can separate each component.

I took a shot with RealDraw's vectorizer. The part in the lower right doesn't work at all but the main logo looks okay. Here it is in four formats since I don't know which will work for you.

PDF
EMF
EPS
svg

I can make these four vector formats but can only open pdf so I'm hoping the others worked as well.
