If you have already converted the Baileigh logo to a vector format for the box contest how about sharing the file.
Shane uploaded a large image in the Box Contest thread in the GWW Forum.

Here's a quick conversion for you saved down to Corel 9. I set it up as individual colors & grouped them so people can do what they want with it for their projects.

I didn't fuss with the "Industrial" text to distort the angle, so for those perfectionists out there, the angle is slightly off. If anyone wants to improve upon this file and post a better one, the "Industrial" font is Bank Gothic.

... I should add for those who want to know ... I used an older copy of Vector Magic to convert the file, then typed the small text using Bank Gothic and SmartFilled the yellow area. It took me less then 5 minutes from start to finish because the graphic was good.

How about in .dxf, .dwg or .ai?

Here's my take on the logo. It is a hand traced version of the bitmap provided in the other thread. Took about 3 hours to make. Based on Mike's results I'll have to check out Vector Magic as 5 minutes sounds a whole lot better. :) It was created in CorelDraw X6, saved to versions 16, 12, and AI (zipped).

Here's a DWG file. I used the default export settings for Corel X6 (AutoCAD 2008-2013)

Corel X6 is a beast on my old XP computer. (Just because it meets the Tech Specs for X6, it doesn't mean it runs very well!) When I try to export it as an AI file, it's clobbering the graphic. Ronald's AI version looks great.

Ronald, your graphic is great. If you search for Vector Magic in this forum, you will find other conversion examples including some I posted comparing CDX6 and Vector Magic. It's a handy tool, but there are times where I have to build the graphic manually too.

Shane,

I expect it is a bit early for most to show their cards yet and some wil take the entire month before we see what they created.

The vectors that Mike Chance and myself created were left in CorelDRAW format (or Adobe Illustrator), linked above in previous posts. I believe I may have the "S" on industrial slightly off based on Mike Chance's note the font is Bank Gothic. I'll see if I can make the change today and post an updated version.

EDIT:

Here are updated version in CorelDraw 16 and 12, and 11 formats:

259085
259084

Here is the updated version in Adobe Illustrator (CS compatable):

259087

Here is the updated version in SVG (scalable vector graphics) format:

259088

And finally, a PNG (forum limited to 1200 pixels wide):

Edited again to add: Please let me know if there are any inaccuracies with the logo; I want it to be as precise as possible.
