    In general, rounded corners and gaps indicates that the vector art is not properly optimized for display. There is a lot of information there, but it's not entirely impossible. It's a matter of giving yourself the best chance and finding out what you have to do by trial and error.

    then why did you ask "What Logo"??

    i offered solutions. you seem to be having problems reading today.
    suppose you're thinkin' about a plate o' shrimp. Suddenly someone'll say, like, plate, or shrimp, or plate o' shrimp out of the blue, no explanation. No point in lookin' for one, either. It's all part of a cosmic unconciousness.

    What logo in the form of a vector image?

    Perhaps you should concentrate on what you actually know and understand and not so much about what you don't know or understand about my software.

    dude....

    my comment was "that image will not look good with 30k scanners regardless of the alchemy applied to it." i was not referencing your software... it's just the physics of galvo limitations and a too complex image.

    but, if you insist: "your software looks like the ass end of an amiga modtracker and is unusable because of the rainbow vomit keystroke interface."

    do you feel better now?

    I can see there is plenty of text in this file, so there must be an image in there. But when I try to open it in Inkscape or even a browser I can't see anything.

    Do you have a way to convert this into dxf v12, so that it is POLYLINE?

    I tried a couple of free online converters and I get nothing. The dxf file I get has no ENTITES sections at all.

    Worldwide Modtracker feelings is Hertz... Being compared to a Mouseless Angry Fruit Salad Interface? Their class action defamation suit, twitter campaign, and global protest is inbound... They wish me to remind you they even had Sprites before TI made them popular. ... Muttered something about being friends with LSD256, LD16, LD400, LSD1000 and Pangos' First and Best Autotrace ever... Not to mention being neighbors with the first "Sound Chip Dac", First four channel sound chip replacement DAC and Op-amp level shifters without solid copper LOLz , Not to mention knowing the innovative Console Led Off/Dim/Bright Laser modulator.

    LSD / LD1000 is so good I still have it running on an Emulator...
