I'd do a Google search for it. It's a state logo or something like that, right?
Just type in whatever the name of it is with the word vector or pdf and you should be able to find something.
If you have Corel you can try converting to a bitmap and tracing.
Love....Jill

I can help you with the moon-part:
Draw an elipse
Draw another elipse but smaller
Pathfinder>subtract from agape area
Angle moon
Done :)

The rest I would autotrace in Illustrator and adjust some anchorpoints

we don't know what software you are using but tracing a bitmap usually comes down to using the bezier tool and some time, even if you trace the image some 'tweaking' is usually necessary, depending on the level of quality you need for the project/customer.

for common items like this they can usually be found in vector format. alternatively there is always our very own "Vector Doctor" but this is a skill everyone in the trade should take the time to learn, imho...

After you get this figured out you should probably take a class in Illustrator or watch every single Illustrator video at Adobe.tv, possibly also Lynda.com.

Being self-taught means you've actually taught yourself ;).

ya dude, self-taught means nothing in terms of productivity. I "played" with illustrator for years until I finally got serious and took classes.

school aside, get a free trial account for Lynda.com
well worth watching the videos for illustrator/photoshop at least once.
I've seen em all at least 4-5times.

(pay for school and they make me pay to watch videos, lol)
