    What if you went to their site, copied a logo picture and photoshopped it to how you want it?

    ok i got it out of the swf. i spent longer looking for a swf to fla converter than it took to remove the logo.
    if anybody wants it here is the fla.
    edit: il look for a new host that one was bad
    (that was the best file host i could find)

    edit: new file link http://www.filefactory.com/?94e31c

    Antec EPS Logo

    Bender386: Here is an ANTEC logo in EPS format, which I believe is a type of vector format that you could mess around with. Hopefully you have a program that can open it.

    if you want to rice up your car you add stickers with things like HKS NOS ect..
    so why the hell not your pc.

    @mattthegamer463 do you want a screen shot or are you asking is that how i did it.

    what i did was dowload one of there banners of there sight then used a swf to fla converter to decompile it. next i copyed the logo out of the fla with flash mx and added the rest of the pictures with photoshop.

    AFAIK Illustrator deals in vector images. There may be an option to resave from .psd?

    Illustrator has a tool called "Live Trace" (well, Illustrator CS2 has it, anyway); however, the results are usually...in a word, crap. You're going to have difficulty getting the outlines to actually look like the font -- which means spending inordinate amounts of time refining the curves the Live Trace tool provides.

    Something else you might try is this: http://www.myfonts.com/WhatTheFont/

    Submit the image you have based on the font sample you pulled from the SWF and see what it returns...FYI, I tried it based on the Antec logo on their homepage, and I didn't find anything that was an exact match...

    One other option, depending on what you hope to accomplish, is to get someone to recreate the font for you: if all you have are the capital "A" and lower case "n", "t", "e", and "c", it'll be difficult to get a complete font set (too many missing curves); if you want just a vectorized "Antec" logo, I could help you with that...

    Just my two cents...

    All right, I figured I'd do a little more than suggest a link to check out: here's my version of the Antec logo in vector form.

    http://www.hyperology.com/downloads/antec_logotype.zip

    I've included an Illustrator CS2 file and an Illustrator 10 EPS file: hopefully one or more will work for you...

    And if the whole point's already moot: oh well... :D
