The blurriness is the result of antialiasing. I start with an EPS; can you tell me how to convert this without running into that problem? I'm afraid I'm not very good at anything graphical.


Often it requires a bit of manual hinting. For example, [1] was just resizing the vector and allowing antialiasing to do its thing, and [2] is the result of resizing it and then dragging vertices to pixel or half-pixels.

Ugh. I was hoping there was some automatic way of doing this.


If you can first convert the logo to PDF, then you could grab xpdf or poppler, then try: pdftoppm -png -aa no -r <dpi> logo.pdf logo

You'll have to experiment with the dpi until the logo comes out the right size. The dpi doesn't have to be an integer.
