    Hi Richard

    Don’t have time to tray this but I’d do it this way.

    In Flexi (or whatever) I’d draw a thin line and step/rotate it from one end with 100’s over a 90 degree turn.

    Save it as a JPG then import as a new layer over the welder in P’shop. The I’d apply a reveal all layer mask to this layer and add a radial gradient from the bottom left outwards so it fades out.

    The flatten the whole image and add a final emboss layer effect for the overall domed finish

    ???

    Cheers
    Macky

    According to my reconning from the image posted best.png you can resample it to 300dpi and that will give you 29.57cm x 29.78cm at 3492 x 3517 pixels.
    I have uploaded to my server a Zipped file containing your original image resampled to 300dpi and a 1.5 times enlargement at 300dpi which will give you 44.35cm x 44.67cm at 5238 x 5276 pixels.

    I have worked this based on printing it to paper on offset presses.
    This as not given the image better quality but as enabled enlargement without a loss of quality.

    The link for this file is: http://www.sjmg-net.com/uksb/logo_best.rar

    Hopes this helps you out
