    BOTW have the old version as far as I can find.

    In a vector is preferred. I have to enlarge it and then print and cut it

    Cheers

    Shane found this one maybe the old one but would be fairly easy to edit ?

    Cheers

    Here you are Shane. Hope its OK.

    It came from a PDF off of the Valvoline website. Lots and lots of large corporations have media sections on their websites and its always worth a look to see if they have logos/images.

    Robert

    p.s. Illustrator keeps making “big” eps’s so its an .ai again hope thats OK.

    Sorry shane but can you tell me the difference between your original jpg and the ai file that andrew posted,
    the jpg was bigger and with more detail, regards shadow etc.
    Am I missing something, I dont use illustrator, so I wouldn’t know?

    Essentially the valvoline text was the wrong style in the eps posted altho the colours are correct.

    Being jpg, I would have to revector it as I also have to change the text to white (it is going on a blue truck) and the ai is correct in font, colours, and saves me the hassle of revectoring because it is already break apartable (if that is actually a word)

    I also have to blow it up to 1000mm high, which the jpg was too small to do

    Cheers

    Shane I see it now, I opened the logo in coral (default for ai) and it looked very pixelated and the angled lines were stepped, thats why I asked the Question. Whowever, opened it in signlab, and the image was perfect,

    Just noticed the difference in size of the files that Andrew and I posted. Am I doing something to make such “large” files? As I said earlier whenever I try to save from Illustrator as an eps it makes a file size of over 500k.

    Robert,

    The file you had posted was both raster and vector. The file had a clipping mask over a raster based chrome effect, I deleted this part then exported the vector as (ai) Legacy.
