Cheers for that. Used it before, but forgot the addy.

Exceptional site that prevents the need to have too much contact with people who get angry that their 3kb .gif wasn't good enough for their A0 poster.

Here is another one that is okay:

A lot of times I search for corporate identity pdfs or other pdfs to pull logos from. I just do a google search for .pdf at a specific site,
".pdf site:www.companyname.com"

As somebody mentioned before, sometimes a good way of getting logos is to download company brochures in PDF format. It's amazing how many big corporations haven't twigged that their PDFs can be opened easily in Illustrator and the vector art obtained. Some do put security on the files but many don't. Even then, PDF security can be bypassed by many prepress systems (such as ArtPro).
I've got Jaguar, Corgi Cars, JCB and others this way. As long as the use is legit, I don't see a problem.
