Thread: Oak or Maple Tree Vector Art

  1. #1

    Oak or Maple Tree Vector Art

    Anyone have a source for some decent vector art for oak or maple trees? I have a sign to make and the current sign has the name of the place and a couple of oak or maple trees to the left of it. It's not much more than a solid image with a couple of slots cut out of the leaf area, but it does have a good shape to it. Since I'm replacing it, I thought I would offer up a new design for the to have a look at (up sell, up sell, up sell!)

    However, it's a professional place and it needs to look professional. All the ones I can find in Corel's files are either shaped funny or have no leaves on them. This will be going outside a commercial office building and this image will be about 2 feet tall.

    Worst case, I'll photograph the existing and trace it, but in doing that, it'll be hard for me to charge much extra for reproducing what's already there.

    Anyone got any sources?

    Thanks in advance-

    There's both an oak and a maple in this lot:

    The maple is the better shape, but looks like it has some sort of flaw. Neither of them are breathtaking, but either might do the job.

    I purchased their CD #1 and the vector art is excellent quality.

    How soon do you need this? We have a GREAT one on the laser computer at home, but we won't be back there until next Tuesday.

    Thanks for the info so far. Haven't seen quite what I'm looking for yet. Here's a photo of what's there now.

    Nancy, a week is fine if you have something that might look good replacing this. Worst case, I can just trace what's there and be done with it.
