When translating a vector image into a pixel art, it can be tricky to figure out what resolution to use. In this video, I outline the steps that I take to size out and redraw a vector logo into pixel art, using the logo of my pal Dad Vader!

*The first Retro Vader segment is up, it's a STARcade machine!: https://youtu.be/eWRuQ-M0FT0
