Vectorizing the SVG logo

There is a nice free SVG editor called Inkscape: https://inkscape.org/ If you do not have it on your computer, please, install it. It worth doing that. Let’s open our screenshot through File -> Import.

Select the imported image and then Path -> Trace Bitmap. After some experiments with cutoff, you will get the vectorized path.

After that, you should clean the excess points and select the color for your logo.

A small tip: Use Path -> Break Apart and Path -> Combine to get the needed parts of the logo. It may be tricky at the beginning, but after some time you will become more comfortable with Inkscape and can do this simple task in a couple of minutes.

Then create a document of the necessary size and copy parts of the SVG logo, which you are going to use.
