Hi, i have company logo, that needs to be resized from it's current size of 4kb to preferably 1kb as it's transferring through network bunch of times a day.
This is how it's now:



I can loose color information, as it's being printed on bw paper.

This is the biggest version of the image i have:
http://img117.yehhe.com/images/2198Logo_1.jpg

, it's not the same shape, but it can do. It should end up with approximately same pixel dimension as the image posted above.

Anyone has some suggestions? I could use pretty much any file format, it doesn't have to be jpg, but jpg, or png would be desirable.
When i down sample it to less then 2kb, picture looks unacceptable.

1.292kb



1.792kb

try getting it down two pure grey and white. theres spots that have pixels surrounding it.
id do it now but im at school. no ps here

Good luck doing that and keeping it under 2kb.

I've been trying to get it pure black and transparency(to cut down on pixels), but photoshop seems to add white pixels nevertheless. And, yeah, i also tried discarding all but one channel (in other words turning it into gray scale), but that didn't do much for file size.
I also had an idea to turn it from pixel to vector based object, but don't know how to do this, and don't know would this cut down on file size.


Btw, i had this settings recommended on another forum:

and this is the result (646 bytes):

It would NOT cut down the file's size if you turned it into a vector format, special software would be required to view the image.

Removing the white from the image is a bad idea, adding transparency increases file size.
