I've got this shitty bitmap that a client wants me to use as the logo for his website, it's horrid quality and whoever converted it from PSD or JPG or whatever just made it look plain unusable for the web. Can I get some suggestions on how to clean it up? Should I just get my lasso on and make new gradients for it or do you think there is any better/easier way to do it?

Too easy, use the pen tool, trace the shapes, fill with colour/grads on new layers.

The logo itself is primative enuf, you could prolly just make it over anyways.

Tha Sig man ? Painting on shapes mostly. Fill shapes, airbrush, dodge/burn, smudge for the body parts. Bitta sharpen/blur here n there. Once you've got something going you can adjust the shapes a bit to suit. The hair/fibre stuff is smudge and airbrush.

If you're working colours define a palette early on (seriously does help) , for single shades (like the siggy) work in greys then colour later with hue/sats =)
