Before and After

Embroidery digitising portfolio: before and after

Here is artwork our team has digitised or redrawn, each shown next to the original. Drag the slider on any card to compare the two. We have grouped the work for UK buyers: club crests and badges first, then mascots and detailed illustration, then vector redraws. Every card links to the matching UK service.

Hand-digitised, never auto-digitised DST, PES and every other format Revisions with no cut-off VAT invoice included
01Crests and Badges

Club crests and badge-style logos.

Shields, rings and lettering that have to stay crisp at chest size, just as school, club and uniform logos do.

Crest digitising

Tournament club shield with laurel wreath

Thin laurel leaves, a star and two sizes of lettering inside a shield. The same problems appear in grassroots club and school house crests.

Teamwear digitising →

Crest digitising

Championship badge with heavy keyline

Bold block lettering, a ball and a thick outline, the badge shape often chosen for sew-on patches and team jacket backs.

Patch digitising →

Crest digitising

Round restaurant badge with engraved bull

Woodcut-style shading and curved text around a ring, a useful reference for hospitality aprons, chef jackets and polos.

Logo digitising →

02Mascots and Illustration

Mascots, characters and lettering.

Detailed, many-colour artwork for hoodies, merchandise and gifts, where shading has to be broken into separate thread colours.

Illustration digitising

Single-colour tiger head

Sharp black stripes with no shading, the style of mascot school houses and sports teams put on leavers' hoodies and kit bags.

Custom embroidery digitising →

Illustration digitising

Macaw in blended feather colours

Red, yellow, green and blue feathers that blend in the artwork, separated into distinct colour areas with layered wings.

French bulldog in a flat cap

Cartoon shading, a small heart tag and big ears, a good test of detail at the sizes used on gifts and pet merchandise.

Illustration digitising

Rainbow unicorn among flowers

A crowded design: a multicoloured mane, overlapping petals and leaves, all sitting close together.

Illustration digitising

Anime-style character on a grid

Bright clothing, striped socks and a patterned diamond behind the figure, with plenty of small colour changes.

Illustration digitising

Vertical LOVE lettering with hearts

Outline letters stacked vertically and wrapped in small flowers and hearts, a narrow layout suited to sleeves and bag straps.

Lettering digitising →

03Vector Redraws

Artwork redrawn as clean vectors.

For printers, sign makers and anyone whose only copy of a logo is a blurry JPG. Each one is redrawn by hand.

Vector conversion

Blurred sail logo rebuilt sharp

A soft, low-resolution image redrawn with clean edges, ready for print, vinyl or as better artwork to digitise from.

JPG to vector conversion →

Vector conversion

Esports eagle on a shield

Hard-edged shapes inside a shield, redrawn so the artwork scales from a sticker to a banner.

Vector art conversion →

Vector conversion

Vintage coffee label with fine type

Small curved text, a steaming cup and gold rules, redrawn so the thin lines survive enlargement.

Vector art conversion →

Vector conversion

Engraved floral ornament

Hand-drawn line work with tapering strokes, converted into paths that print cleanly at any size.

04Your Design

Sending us a school or club crest?

A crest that looks sharp on screen can lose its motto or its outline once it is sewn at 70 mm on a knitted jumper. The more we know about the garment, the better we can plan the file for it.

Include the details listed here with your upload. If you supply several schools or clubs, our school crest digitising guide covers artwork, sizes and approvals, and the schoolwear and teamwear pages explain how those files are set up.

  • The garment and fabric. Blazer pocket, knitted jumper, polo or training top.
  • The finished width in millimetres. Measure the space on the garment, not the artwork.
  • Your machine. Tajima, Brother, Barudan or the file format you run.
  • Thread colours. Shade numbers if the school or club has set colours.
  • Your deadline. Standard is 4–8 hours; rush is 2–4 hours for 50% more.
05Questions

Questions about these examples.

Yes. Upload the artwork with the garment, the finished width in millimetres and your machine. The same employed team builds your file by hand, and you get a stitch simulation preview to check before you sew.
It depends on colours and detail. Fixed prices per design start at £10 and rise for Medium and Complex designs, and vector redraws have their own price. The UK price list explains each tier.
Yes. Trade previews come without PlixaLabs branding, so your school, club or corporate customer can sign off the design before you run a sample.

Your crest could be the next example.
