Logo vectorization in Saskatoon is $40 flat — your logo redrawn by our in-house designer in Adobe Illustrator and delivered as AI, EPS, SVG, and PDF. One price whether it's a clean 1–3 colour mark or something with gradients, photo elements, and multiple components. If you're already placing a $250+ large-format order (vehicle decals, banners, ACP signs, coroplast), vectorization is included free in the same session. No quote needed and no complexity surcharge — send what you have and we'll confirm the same day.
Why vectorize? Raster files (JPG, PNG, screenshots, photos of printed business cards) are made of fixed pixels. The moment you scale them up for a 4×8 ft coroplast sign, a vehicle wrap, or a 6 ft retractable banner, the edges go soft, the type fuzzes out, and the colours band. Vector files are math, not pixels — they stay razor sharp at any size. A logo we vectorize today will print clean on a business card, a coffee mug, a building sign, and a fleet of trucks across Saskatchewan. One file, every format, no quality loss.
What makes True Color different: we don't run your file through Illustrator's auto-trace button and call it done. Auto-tracing leaves jagged curves, broken type, and weird artifacts on anything more complex than a stick figure. Our designer redraws your logo by hand in Adobe Illustrator, rebuilds the type using real fonts (or hand-drawn paths if the original is custom), and matches every colour using Pantone or CMYK references. The output is a true production-grade vector file — the same quality you'd hand to any commercial printer or signmaker. Files are tested directly on our in-house Roland UV printer before sign-off, so what you see in the proof is what comes off the press.
Turnaround is 1–2 business days standard after you send the source file. Same-day rush is +$40 flat if you order before 10 AM — useful when you're approving a vehicle wrap or a trade-show banner on a deadline. You own the vector files forever — no licensing fees, no ransom, no subscriptions. We send the AI, EPS, SVG, and PDF, and you can hand them to any printer, embroiderer, or web designer you want. Minor logo edits after vectorization (colour swap, tagline update) run on the in-house designer rate of $40 flat with same-day proof.
Common starting files we see in Saskatoon: a JPG screenshot off an old business card, a faded image pulled from a five-year-old website, a phone photo of a printed sign. Get it done once, use it forever. Most customers pair vectorization with a first run of vehicle magnets, vinyl banners, or coroplast signs — and at $250+ on that order the vector work is free.

Frequently asked
How much does logo vectorization cost in Saskatoon?
$40 flat, whatever the logo. Simple 1–3 colour marks and complex logos with gradients, photo elements, or multiple components are the same price — we stopped charging a complexity premium because in practice almost every job landed at the same number anyway. If you're already placing a $250+ large-format order (vehicle decals, banners, ACP signs), vectorization is included free.
What file formats do I get?
Every $40 vectorization order is delivered as AI (Adobe Illustrator), EPS, SVG, and PDF — the four vector formats any commercial printer, embroiderer, or web designer will accept. You own all four files forever, no licensing fees, no subscriptions.
Why do I need a vector logo for printing?
Raster files (JPG, PNG) are pixels — they pixelate when scaled up. A logo that looks fine on a $45 business card will fuzz out on a $232 4×8 ft coroplast sign or a $400+ vehicle decal. Vector files stay razor sharp at any size. Vectorize once for $40, use the file on every print job from now on.
Do you use auto-tracing or hand-redraw the logo?
Hand-redraw — that's the True Color difference. Auto-tracing (Illustrator's Image Trace button) leaves jagged edges, broken type, and weird artifacts on anything past a basic shape. Our in-house designer rebuilds the logo from scratch in Adobe Illustrator, including real fonts and Pantone/CMYK colour matching. Worth the $40 versus a $5 fiverr auto-trace.
How fast is vectorization turnaround?
1–2 business days standard after you send the source file. Same-day rush is +$40 flat if you order before 10 AM — handy when you're approving a vehicle wrap, trade-show banner, or embroidery job on a deadline. Minor edits after the vector is approved (colour swap, tagline update) run on the in-house designer rate of $40 flat with same-day proof.
Is vectorization really free with a sign or decal order?
Yes — if your large-format order is $250 or more in the same session (vehicle magnets at $24/sqft, banners at $8.25/sqft, ACP at $13/sqft, coroplast at $8/sqft, window decals at $11/sqft), we bundle the vectorization at no extra charge. Below $250 the standard $40 flat rate applies. Most full vehicle decal jobs and trade-show banner orders qualify.
What source file should I send you?
Anything you have — JPG screenshot of an old business card, faded image from a five-year-old website, phone photo of a printed sign, low-res social avatar, even a fax-quality copy. The lower the resolution, the more redraw work — but the price is still $40. Send what you've got and we'll quote it same day.
