A little help, please

[dburgessjr]

Could someone please try and open the attached file and let me know if its in a vector format or just a placed jpg.
I only run CS4 and I'm getting a out of version error.
And if possible, could I get that sent back to me saved as a CS4 file.  I'd appreciate it.

Placed image

And tiny at that. It initially opened up for me at 2.5"

In case you haven't seen it, here it is a a little bigger as a jpg

You may want to ask these folks to look and see if there is something else.

Yeah I figured it was a placed image.  I saw the artwork already in a pdf format and the quality was extremely low res.
Thanks for the effort guys!

But also, that can be re created with almost 100% accuracy. Some guy in China might fo it for $10.00 dlac will do it for maybe $25.00 and I would do it for about that also.

Speaking of China, u saw on another forum where a printer was speaking highly of the services they get from a china vector source. Usually $12.00-15.00. Then he posted before and after pics.   I thought "man, you need to raise your expectations.". It was not good at all.

I have found it's hit or miss with china vectoring.  I have an on staff artist that can trace faster than anybody i have ever seen.

Sorry........but I've been talked to, had to remove my rendering of said jpg. I didnt realize it was such a touchy subject to offer a free rendering that was so simple that my 3 year old could do it....

Ummm, thinking ahead, can I get your 3 yr old's price list?  Don't need yours.

Jason, I started out talking as a friend, artist to artist and sent you an email. Your response is this? A twist and blatant lie?  I gave you my opinion. To my recolection, I never "asked" you or "told" you to take it down. In fact nothing like that was mentioned. If I wanted it down, I would have done it myself as an admin. Admins don't need to beg you to take something down. This type of drama is what we don't want here and this is what you "could" get in trouble for. This is not the first time you've been out of line. Take note of it. You chose to take it down and you chose to claim " you had to".  I will discuss the matter with the partners to determine how to handle this.

I think that generosity and exuberance got the best of out friend here. The way I see this particular member to member section is to put requests out there, but not make it a public bidding war (or pissing contest)

Bottom line; some posts would be better made as emails or PM's.

No worries man.  This artwork was for one of our contract customers and its their responsibility to send me the corrected and finished artwork.  I've been working with them now for the last 6 months+ and I've done enough hand holding for them.  As easy as the artwork is, I know our contract customer has an on staff artist and this is something they should figure out.

And besides, what business doesn't have a raw file format for their own logo?

[mk162]

HAHAH, almost no business I deal with can actually provide a vector copy of their logo...or a high res JPG even.  It's really sad frankly.

Many of them do not have the files.
Many of them have a JPG file, and that is all they get from their "design firm", that they could place in QuickBooks header and stuff like that.

no doubt!  It amazes me at how many like mentioned cannot supply the proper files.
