Convert a business logo to an image suitable for screenprinting?
Hello,
My wife is an amateur photographer who is getting rather good. She has recently started setting up licensing to do business and has created a logo in PhotoShop for said business. As a gift for her new venture I was going to get custom flash drives made with her logo on it instead of burning CDs and sending those. The problem is that the drive I really like (and think she would too) only allows screenprinting. The manufacturer says that the logo I sent them is "too complex". Can someone give me a tutorial somewhere so that I can convert her current full color logo to something that would work in a screenprint scenario? Maybe I'm asking something too complex? Maybe it's not as simple as making the image Black & White? Any constructive input would be greatly appreciated.
P.S. you may see in my profile that I'm rather techy, however, I don't have a single ounce of artistic creativity in me. If you provide me instructions on how to do what I ask please supply something that has step-by-step instructions like they do on tutorialized.com.. Thank you.
I also failed to mention the manufacturer I plan on using is FlashBay and the drive I was going to get is the "executive" with the white band.
You can view the logo here http://www./ photography by cje .com/. It's the flower with the biz name in it. That's the JPG or PNG image but I do have the original PhotoShop file:
(removed the direct hyperlink for Search Bot purposes. Don't want it to be too easy to find this post before she gets her gift).
I know that I said this is going on a flash drive but it's not actually going on the drive. There's a (possibly) leather material that wraps around the drive. The logo is silkscreened on that leather and also embossed.

It would help to see her logo. I doubt the issue is about the colors. But for your request. You can turn the logo into grayscale using photoshop. http://www.plantpath.cornell.edu/PhotoLab/Knowledg...
You might not like how it looks in grayscale...
Or you can turn it into black and white using adobe illustrator with the live trace feature. http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2010/11/15/illustr...

screen printing is a very basic form of print, alot of screen printers cut shapes out of paper, and press the paint past that..think high school craft class.. u will have to make a very basic logo of you're etudes existing one, perhaps the shape with a nice accent below or cut out of it.
another option is to find another printer with limitations? remember u are putting this on a flash drive, it's tiny.. or just print out the company initials with website..
look around the internet for some ideas..

properly on account that jpeg is a image format merely pass on your default paint software referred to as"paint" lol. yet till now you do this u would desire to choose for the observe record(DOnt open it) merely spectacular click> residences> and there shuold be a factor saying.."opens wiht: microsoft observe". replace it and make it open to color. then pass to color choose for open and open your record... if it is going with the aid of and seems stable click keep as, pass to the 2d tab on the backside, pass to JPEG and click keep.
