Exclamation How do I take a small logo and make it big for printing

I made a big mistake and I created a logo using photoshop. Is there a way I can import it in to illustrator and vectorize it without having to recreate it? Or, is there any software out there that can do it? The problem is, my logo uses a lot of gradient colors. Here is what the logo looks like.

Don't know much about Illustrator, but I think you'd be able to do it with Autotrace:

If you don't want to do it yourself, try VectorMagic.

Nice logo. Vectormagic probably won't do a good job on the gradients and shadow effects. You would be best to re-trace and build in Illustrator or get someone to do it for you, I would say 20 minutes work to recreate a near identical copy.

Smile Vector in Photoshop

There are ways to make vector images out of rasterized images in Photoshop with tracing. Here is a good tutorial on the way this is done:
Creating a Vector image in Photoshop
Not sure how helpful this will be to you if you want to get an exact replica, but then again, im not sure tracing with any program will glean the result you want. Hope this helps!
