Hey all, thought I would share the wealth here.
I work on CD and DVD layout a lot, 90% of my day, and we get a lot of crappy layouts. Often times customers will give us low res logos for things like "DVD" "CD" "Microsoft" etc.. Instead of continually asking them to give us good ones when all they do is look at you with a blank stare... I goto this website.

Saved me hours and hours of time. Most are vector art too, thank goodness.
Anybody have other sites like this?

Jalan can do it just click on edit

I have a 2 CD set of corporate Logos and Trademarks that a friend gave me. The latest version is a 4 CD set with over 17,000 different logos. I think I'll search this "FREE" site before dropping any serious cash ($499 or $299 for the upgrade) for 4 CDs just to get 1 or 2 logos.

I gotta say all these site are really great, but when you deal with a local specific company that may not be as recognized as GE for example, I find the best way to get corporate logos is to ask the corporation directly.
On many occasions I have had to send an e-mail to some corp. web tech and ask for a high res graphic of his companies logo. 99% of the time I get a positive response and get the required graphic. :wink:

These will really help when we are dealing with a local chapter of a national
corp. that dosen't want to wait for 3 weeks to get printed material from their
normal internal avenue.

Thanks for posting these folks :!:

I agree -these sites are great. I never knew they even existed - can'y tell you how many logos I've recreated from scratch (although that's a great way for someone to learn Illustrator).
