Need help with my 10th planet Mexico logo?

[DavidHamp]

I tried to make a vector of the image from the jpg and it just ends up too blurry. I can recreate the text no problem but the planet in the background fuzzes really bad at 13 x 9. Anybody else have any ideas? I have the full Adobe CS6 suite so tools aren't the issue. Maybe I'm missing something that I just haven't learned yet.

If thats the size of the patch thats not what the logo size needs to be with out touching it the logo is like almost 8x5 or something like that so it could be blown up enough and have black left around with no issues.

Thats an exact 13x9 image

It's not so much about image as it is file type. They want a vector file, which means it's almost infinitely scalable. A jpg or similar images are raster images and won't work with some printing systems. I used to be an apparel designer and some of those machines are quirky and not to mention many are running older software and can't handle the pixelation. So it's not just about blowing up the image.

Thanks for the try bro! I found this one on the web. Something
Like this would be pretty dope. You think this would be easier?Attachment 1624

I'm gonna try just making a vector one on illustrator from scratch for ya. What do you want on it? Mexican Flag across the letters? What do you want the planet to look like. It's all good to me this will go in my portfolio for school.

I understand this but if he wants this just on a 13"x9" patch theres no reason to blow it up I have prolly made easily 100's of designs to size or larger and save as an EPS boom illustrator or coral draw will open it and they think they have a vector yes there will be issues if at some point they try to make it maybe like a 30"x26" but for something small like this there should be no issues.

Send him the EPS then and he can give it a shot. I'm not sure what Clinch Gear is specifically asking for from him.

Awesome ! Yea I guess the flag across the letters would look good.
Planet could be just like the orginal 10th planet logo but just change the
Color to green or red ?I think tht would make things easier for all .appreciate bro!

Those look cool! Apparently the use of the Mexican flag, coat of arms or any national symbols is protected by law in Mexico and he would get in legal trouble. Here's the design I made for him that he's going to use.

I could always remove the flag aspect if that would cause issues. I thought about just using the colors but then it just looked like italy's flag. If he's already decided though then I don't need to worry about it. Its always fun playing around with photoshop.
