as o2b mentioned, raster to vector tracing can easily be performed with the latest versions of illustrator and coreldraw.

If you isolate the bitmap and upload it, I'll do a quick vector trace in Illustrator for you

Here's a link to that swf file:

It's like I said above - you have to get that into a vector format somehow. You might be able to find some software that can do a decent job of converting a raster drawing to vector. I know I've seen this in something recently but I can't remember what program it was. You would surely have to do some editing by hand though.

Hmmm... that attachment didn't seem to work. I'm not sure why.

Anyway, if you want a logo to resize properly it has to be in a vector format. That's an absolute must when designing a logo. The problem arises when either this wasn't done when the logo was created or you can't find a source file. In this case, the only option is to re-draw the logo in a vector format.

This is a big lesson in desiging logos. Firstly, make sure it's in a vector format. Secondly, make sure the client has a copy of the vector version so it can be used in other marketing materials.
