Our shop charges 65 per hour for all computer time when it comes to doing color seps or recreating a logo. Basically anytime I’m doing graphic work it’s at that price. Just to give you an idea of our market, it’s an Oregon city of about 55,000, with a few other screen shops and designers in town.

Thanks for the link Lyn. I had actually seen that a month or so ago, and meant to do a follow up post about it. I appreciate you bringing it back to my attention.

It amazes me to see how expensive it is to vectorize even simple one color images..
Here in Brazil you’d pay as much as $20 for a vectorized SIMPLE logo.
The economic reality here doesn’t match these kind of prices.
I always do all the work by myself..
If someone wants to trade band logos, please contact.

I too can get almost any logos vectorized and I can do them for a lot less. Especially if they are just simple ones.

Thanks for the links!

Chad: I can see where outsourcing to a large company could be beneficial. I think for design brokers and design houses, it may make more sense to have a company that specializes in digitizing do the grunt work, while you focus on the logistics.

Laura: Great site! Brandsoftheworld.com is one of my best resources. I have used them for years, and they are generally the first place I look if I need a logo. Unfortunately, they did not offer the Rebath logo I needed in this case.

Here’s another site that comes in handy for logos. It’s free downloads and all logos are already vectorized!

I vectorize art myself, and find sometimes that tracing in Illustrator doesn’t always work so well. Some art needs to just be recreated, which can end up taking a LOT of time. Thing is, if you have a logo that’s a jpg or a tif in full or spot colors, how do you separate those? Most of the time, the photoshop files are not set up for spot seps.

Check out affinityexpress.com

We do some of our artwork in house but it costs more for us to do it than it does to send it to them. The quality of their work is excellent. The challenge sometimes is communicating exactly what you want and them understanding.
