Using Low-Quality Source Images

Many errors begin with poor-quality raster files. Blurry or pixelated images confuse tracing tools and distort shapes.

Start with the highest-resolution logo available. Clean edges and solid fills make the process smoother.

If the original is unavailable, we often recreate the design manually for accuracy and clarity.

Vectorizing from a rough image without correction leads to uneven lines and warped letters.

At Mahi Digitizing, we enhance rough images before vector conversion for better results.

Auto-Tracing Without Cleanup

Auto-trace tools can speed up the process, but they rarely provide clean output. Excess points and jagged curves often result.

Without manual cleanup, the logo becomes difficult to scale and edit. It may also appear unprofessional.

Proper vectorization requires adjusting paths, removing noise, and correcting shapes manually.

We always refine traced paths to ensure the logo is polished and precise.

This extra step is essential for a high-quality, print-ready vector file.

Ignoring Proportions and Spacing

Inaccurate proportions can ruin a logo’s appearance. Letters may look uneven or off-center if spacing is incorrect.

Each shape, stroke, and gap must align with the original brand guidelines or artwork.

Stretching or skewing elements to “fit” breaks the design integrity and should be avoided.

Our team uses visual and grid checks to maintain perfect balance in all vector elements.

Precision in layout makes your logo look professional across every platform.

Forgetting to Simplify Paths

Too many anchor points slow down editing and inflate file size. They can also cause printing issues.

Simplified paths create cleaner lines and better performance for digital and print use.

Unnecessary complexity often comes from traced effects, shadows, or textured fills.

We remove unneeded points while preserving the logo’s look and feel.

Streamlined files are easier to scale, modify, and export in multiple formats.

5. Key Mistakes to Avoid During Vectorization

Here are common vectorization errors you should always avoid:

• Overlapping shapes: Creates color inconsistencies in printing.
• Missing layers: Important elements may be left out.
• Wrong fonts: Replaced text can ruin branding accuracy.
• Unconverted text: Live fonts break when opened elsewhere—always convert to outlines.
• Bitmap artifacts: Pixel shadows and gradients should be removed or recreated in vector.

We double-check every logo file to avoid these issues and ensure long-term usability.

Inconsistent Color Matching

Colors that look good on-screen may not print accurately. RGB values don’t always convert to CMYK or Pantone correctly.

Using exact hex or Pantone codes ensures consistent output across media types.

Unassigned or inconsistent colors cause mismatched logos in products and marketing.

We assign consistent color profiles to every vector design we deliver.

That way, your brand colors stay true—on fabric, screens, and packaging alike.

Ignoring File Format Needs

Vectorizing a logo is only useful if you export the correct file types. Different platforms require different formats.

SVG is great for web, AI and EPS for designers, and PDF for printing.

Sending the wrong file causes issues in production or online scaling.

We provide every logo in multiple formats, ready for whatever use you need.

This ensures designers, printers, and marketers all get what they need without delay.
