Cracking! iStock are supposed to be selling one off logo licences soon too. It will be interesting to see how they operate this without embedded fonts etc.

I’ve always found the PDF import thing very useful when in a tight spot.

If after visiting these sites you’re still stuck, a company’s logo in vector format can often be ripped from a PDF on their website (such as a Report and Accounts or newsletter).

Simply import the PDF into Illustrator, navigate to the correct page, delete all the gubbins you don’t need and you’re in business. If the PDF has been correctly formatted, you’ll also get the correct Pantone / CMYK values too!

Sometimes the logo is embedded in the PDF in pixel rather than vector format but that doesn’t happen too often, I’ve had around an 85% success rate using this technique over the past few years.

I knew about BOTW, but the rest are new to me. Thanks David, for sharing, and thanks to everyone else that added additional resources. I’ll be sure to take note!

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the Brands of the World site! I have it saved on my web browser toolbar! I think every designer should know about it, so thanks for sharing it! As a print designer, I use it often! I’ll have to check the others too. I think back to my painful days of re-creating vector logos for screenprinting….

A site like logotypes.ru is not updated.

I have, since apx. 10 years back, used a Sony logo for a soccer stadium, but it was an outdated one (hard to see if you don’t know it).

I hope someone will update the logos some day. :-)
