Logo Remake
Logo remake is used when a client brings an old sticker, a faded fascia photo, or a low-quality image that cannot be cut or printed properly. The job is to rebuild the brand mark as clean production artwork for vinyl, signage, vehicle graphics, and shopfront use across South African trading sites.
From old sample to artwork
Logo Remake is for rebuilding an existing brand mark so it can print cleanly across vinyl, signage, and shopfront graphics. It suits jobs where the client has an old sample, a photo, or a poor file that needs proper production artwork.
A remake usually starts with whatever the client still has on hand: a business card, storefront photograph, embroidered shirt, or pixelated file from years back. Letter shapes, spacing, colours, and symbol proportions are then redrawn so the mark can scale correctly on windows, ACM panels, light boxes, and printed media.
Reference material matters more than people expect. A straight-on photo of the current sign, a close shot of the logo, and any previous printed piece help identify missing strokes, outline thickness, and colour breaks before artwork goes to production.
Production files that can be used
The outcome is not just a nicer picture. Logo remake prepares a usable brand mark that can be sent into cutting, large format print, signage layout, and repeat ordering without guessing what the original design was meant to be.
Before submitting the contact form, gather the clearest sample available and note where the remade logo must appear, such as window vinyl, a shopfront tray sign, packaging labels, or vehicle decals. If colours need to match existing branding on site, include photos taken in good daylight and mention any related Graphics or Mark notes references.

Checks for South African sign use
A logo that looks acceptable on a phone screen can fail badly on a fascia or vehicle side. Fine gaps may close up, thin strokes can disappear at distance, and old colour references often drift after years of repainting, reprinting, and exposure on shopfronts in places like Johannesburg, Durban, and Cape Town.
Material and setting affect how the remake is drawn. Vinyl cutting needs closed shapes and sensible line weights, while printed applications need solid vector curves, readable small text, and colour values that can be carried across labels, signs, and promotional graphics under local weather and dust conditions.

What to send with the logo
Include the best image available, even if it is only a cropped photo from the current signboard or an old social media post. Mention whether the logo must match existing branding exactly or whether missing parts need to be interpreted from the sample provided.
State the intended use clearly so the redraw suits production from the start. A logo for a cut-vinyl shop window needs different attention from one going onto a full-colour sign face, embroidered uniform, or compact price label.
