Hi. Currently very new in this. I have this logo shape that i wanted to change. How do i transform it from picture 2 to 1. Now i am using shapes and knife to fill the blanks and cut according to the alphabet outline.

It looks okay when i dint rescale or resize it. After i resize (picture 3), the edges become not smooth.
ANy idea or the right way i should do this?

You probably need to use trace to duplicate the shape into vector form first.

Can the picture number 1 traced? Because not of all of them are shapes ( rectangle, octagon etc.) The main one is a logo i got from an AI file. Picture 1 is combination of shapes and the logo from AI file. So still can be traced?

Edge is not smooth in Illustrator?!?

Is your source in vector format?

Like @barista mentioned, you would need to trace it into vector first if your source is not already in vector. Was the logo design in Illustrator? If it is then you shouldn't have any problem with blurry edge.

Got the file? wanna see if I can do it. Dun know bout Ilustrator but usually CorelDraw I can do some

If your concern is to have the end result a smooth vector, the best way is to redraw the perimeter of the shape in picture 1 with a Pen Tool. That way you can resize the whole thing as big/small as you want without affecting the quality.

For picture number 1, copy everything to a new layer. Group things together, rasterize them before you do the trace.

THanks all. Figured it out already. Just rasterize them as barista mentioned

Thanks !! turn out just rasterize will do

When you first contact the illustrator, you must have a good foundation.

I am not sure what you are trying to ask here, but correct me if I am wrong you want to create an outline! Its very simple go to Object>path>offset path. Offset Dialog box will open, set the value of offset, select joins (miter, Round or bevel) and miter limit. It should give you the desired result, trying playing with it.

By the way this will only work on a vector file.

From your question, I assume you want to get the shape of the logo. The best way is to go around the outer perimeter of the logo with a PenTool.
