coat of arms

[tiredcreations]

My uncle is using the Transylvania Coat of Arms for his business logo. All I can find is this poor quality pic online (attachment).


He has this on all of his shirts, cards, letterhead, etc. & now wants a big one on his work van.

I have his vinyl lettering all layed out, but need some help on how to do this logo. It's a little complicated for vinyl, so I was thinking of getting it printed.

How could I go about getting this converted to vector, or does anyone have any good resources for a better quality logo? Needs two approx. 15" x 11" & one 6" x 4"

Thanks for any ideas.

Yeah, I found that one too. Too bad he won't use it instead I already asked him.

Thanks though!

here's the middle part... not vector, but bigger than your image & a starting place. If you couldn't redraw this, the vector doctor could do it for sure:

this SITE had some interesting history, along with the same small image your father uses... maybe learning the history will help you broaden your search

That's less than a half hour redraw.

Maybe not because that's not the right shape shield either.
It's that border stuff that'll eat up the time.

With the help of The Vector Doctor, I ended up with this;

This was my first time using him & it wasn't an easy trace.

Thanks again for all the help.

Nice work on the filegree, but that is one strange looking bird.

one thought,
the use of a coat of arms, especially a provincial or national one has to be granted.

You are probably breaking some very old eastern european international law.
