It would be great to know what tools you use to make these logo's...

Are you using Photoshop and Topaz? Is there a quick way of isolating the logo or do you have to painstakingly outline it?

I start by searching for higher quality images of the logos. Often there is higher quality source material out there. Sometimes there's already a decent sized logo made up just not in the Launchbox DB.
If upscaling is applicable I'll use a program called ChaiNNer with different AI models to get the desired and cleanest result. 
I search for any fonts in the logo and replace the texts with the same or closest font I can find.  
I usually do painstakingly cut out some part of every logo. Some are easier than others. 
Some logos or parts of them are fairly simple and I will end up completely recreating them for better quality. 
I will run the finished logo's through Caesium to lower the file size as much as possible without hitting the quality.
Most logos I cleanup end up being a mixture of all of this. 
Sometimes it's simple. But usually not. I try to keep them as faithful to the original as possible. 
Its something I enjoy doing and can relax with throughout the day.

This is my same process, but I use different programs. Topaz and https://imgupscaler.com/ for upscaling. https://www.myfonts.com/pages/whatthefont and https://www.whatfontis.com/ for finding fonts. Photoshop pen tool for cutting out logos and sometimes I can use https://vectormagic.com/ to cut logos. https://tinypng.com/ to lower the file size. Occasionally I use 3DS Max to recreate some parts of logos, but most of the time it's just using the pen tool in Photoshop.

Thanks for replying @seaview59 - appreciate it. I don't have Topaz, but have Photoshop (extreme novice though), I use https://www.upscale.media/ for upscaling and the same  https://www.myfonts.com/pages/whatthefont you do. I'll certainly look at  https://vectormagic.com/ though! Maybe 3DS Max is beyond me ATM (haven't ever delved into 3D). I tend to use PowerPoint - for my sins - for actual "template" recreations believe it or not

Thanks @JereBear - like @seaview59 - really must thank you for outlining your process. The way you both seem to just produce these day in day out I wondered if there was some crazy professional software out there that made light work of this - but I can see that it does take a great deal of effort! At least I am (sort of) following the same process - just need more practice!

Don't know what level you are at with the pentool but here's a website that helps you learn it. https://bezier.method.ac/

[EASTWOOD2002]

Thanks @seaview59. I still tend to do it in Photostudio - but the trace tool is point-to-point-to-point (no post editing of points) - so I'll definitely take a look at https://bezier.method.ac/ as the ability to refine as you go in Photoshop is certainly an incentive. 

What does draw me to Photoshop currently though is the Spot Healing Brush Tool - that's just amazing.

Thanks a lot, these could be done?

That vector magic looks powerful. I've found https://www.autotracer.org/ as a free alternative so will have a play with that. First go on a logo below:

Hey seaview59, could you do an alternate version without the subtext, only the FAST STRIKER?
