What we supply for print, screens and signage
We create vector artwork that holds its shape at any size, whether you need a small social graphic, a shop sign, a menu header or artwork for packaging. Our work covers logo redraws, custom brand icons and hand-drawn illustrations that are prepared for practical use by South African businesses. Files are supplied in common formats such as SVG, EPS, PDF and AI, so your printer, signwriter or in-house team can work from the same artwork without redoing the job.
Clients often come to us with a logo that has been saved too many times, a bitmap that looks soft at larger sizes, or a drawing that needs to be rebuilt properly for print. We can trace where that is the right approach, or redraw by hand when the artwork needs cleaner lines, better balance and more accurate detail. The aim is always the same: files that are tidy, editable and ready for real-world use.
- Logo redraws from low-quality artwork, scans or screen captures
- Hand-drawn vector illustrations for maps, menus, badges and scenes
- Custom brand icons, mascots, patterns and sticker artwork
- Print-ready files for packaging, labels, signage and stationery
Who we work with across South Africa
Our clients range from new businesses setting up their first identity to established companies refreshing older artwork for current use. We work with retail brands, hospitality businesses, manufacturers, professional firms, property teams and local operators who need artwork that is clear, well organised and easy to reuse. If the job needs a careful redraw, or if the illustration must carry a very specific local feel, we can shape it around the brief.
We are based in Observatory, Cape Town and support clients in Cape Town, Johannesburg, Durban, Pretoria, Bloemfontein, Port Elizabeth, Stellenbosch and Paarl.The work travels well because the file setup is practical and the artwork is built for use across different platforms and materials.
- Startups needing a first proper logo redraw
- Growing businesses wanting consistent artwork for print and web
- Teams updating labels, menus, signage or packaging artwork
- Companies that need illustrations for campaigns, training or internal use
How we rebuild artwork without losing the character
Every project starts with the artwork you send and the rights you hold to it. Customers must own the artwork or have permission to use it before we begin. Once that is clear, we assess whether the job is best handled by bitmap tracing, a full hand redraw, or a fresh illustration. Bitmap tracing can be useful for simple shapes and clean line art, but it is not always enough where curves, proportions and small details need more care.
A hand redraw gives us more control over the line work, spacing and structure. It is usually the better option when an old logo has uneven edges, awkward joins or too much noise in the source file. For new illustrations, we build the piece from the ground up so it keeps its form at any size and reads properly in black and white as well as colour. That matters when the same artwork has to sit on a sticker, a banner and a tiny label all at once.
- We check your source artwork and confirm the best redraw method
- We rebuild the lines, spacing and proportions for clean output
- We prepare the final files in the formats you need for handover
- We keep the artwork simple to edit, store and reuse later
