For some people it may be the normal day to day stuff but this very same stuff for everyone else, could be a mine field. There is no original idea .. what I know you may now how to twist to make it better. Ever re read a book or article and find something you missed? Listen carefully and think before you communicate ... not after like Dan. What do you know that you take for granted that is “rocket science” to others?

Back-ups are good to have too though, since BotW doesn't have everything. One site I didn't see mentioned yet is http://www.lalogotheque.com/eng/ I've found a couple obscure logos there that BotW didn't have even though overall BotW's the best of this type of resource I've found.

It's amazing how often you can find the vector you need from a filetype:PDF search. Not to endorse anything shady here, but the following tool can unlock PDFs for the purpose of image extraction: http://www.ensode.net/pdf-crack.jsf Great tip, EWO!

Dan--if you already knew that too, I'm mighty sorry to have insulted your intelligence.

Now I got to feel good that I was already in the know about it.. By the way, Dan? 64% of all statistics are made up on the spot to strengthen a shaky argument.

Be careful though. Sometimes you'll stumble upon one that is really close, but there is something different about it that isn't instantly noticeable. The client always notices if their logo is even slightly different. I’ve been using that site for a few years.
