NEEDED Thunderbird Logo

Hi

I am making a new black scratchplate for my epi thunderbird goth, and want a white thunderbird logo; sounds easy. However I need to draw the logo on my computer to get it milled by a machine. So here is the problem

I need a high resolution scanning (photo scanner minimum) of the thunderbird logo. If anyone has a Gibson thunderbird (or even Epiphone with the t-bird logo) and you wouldnt mind removing the scratch plate, scanning it in, and then sending me the scan via email, please message me. I would really appreciate any and all help you can give me.

Thanks

Chris
 
Ok, thanks for the high res image. I will go away and try and generate a vector map from it. If I got my design sorted, would anyone be interested in buying a black Thunderbird Scratchplate with a white T-Bird logo? I am guessing around £30 ($60) retail.
 
i have done one to use in my Epi goth thunderbird (now Epibson Thunderbird eheheh). If you want it in vectorial format, just drop me a message and i can send it to you.

i traced de image myself. It's hard, but is done!

Thanks!

Just a quick question,

You just took this vector image into a store (what kind of store) and they just printed it out on a big chunk of plastic? Or did they cut and bevel it for you too?
