I need the highest quality, hopefully large image of the Arsenal crest possible. I have a Mini Cooper and am working on personalizing it. (It's turning into my Arsenal Mini) I want to put a graphic on my sunroof of the Arsenal logo, but need a great high quality pic...hopefully a large pic so it doesn't lose quality when they enlarge it.
Any help you can give me would be appreicated.
Thanks

Here's a good site, but it only has the old school logos.
http://www.hqfl.dk/
Might be tougher than you think, because of this (in their FAQ section):
Q: Why are there so few English logos on HQFL?
A: The English football association (arrogant enough to call themselves just "The FA") have decided to dislike HQFL and the work we do. Consequently they have demanded removal of ALL logos related to English clubs, the FA themselves and competitions arranged by them, unless HQFL has got specific permission from the clubs to display their logos. If we did not follow their demand, they would press charges against us for copyright infringement. As we cannot even afford the trip to the court, we had no choice but to follow their demand, eventhough we disagree with a number of their viewpoints.

You need a vector logo. I made one a while back, let me see if I still have it.

On a similar topic, I know they make bumper stickers as we call them in the States, but are there large car magnets like gridiron (nfl) teams have? I just got my first car and didn't want a sticker as its a pain in resale, but was looking for a huge magnet/glass cling.

...The English football association (arrogant enough to call themselves just "The FA") ...When you're the first, and therefore only football association at the time, you can call yourself "The FA". Who knew it would catch on? :)

Anyone remember when CONCACAF tried to rename themselves "The Football Confederation"?
What a joke.

Awesome. Any help is awesome. Ever since I saw the SAME Mini as me, I'm determined to make this one different!! So Arsenal is the way to go. If you have an image please email to me.
As for the one website, I need Adobe Photoshop 4.0 and CooperFlags won't convert off of that, so I'm not able to use that image. Thanks though.
Thanks so much everyone!!! :)

There was a poster over in our forum who managed to find one of these (http://www.bigsoccer.com/forum/showthread.php?t=195575) for his car. There must be similar ones with the Arsenal crest on them (you could probably convert it for screening if needed as well).

I have a vector logo for you. You'll need Illustrator or another program to blow it up, but it will retain its quality no matter how big you make it. That's the beauty of vector graphics.
1. What size do you need?
2. What file format does Cooper Flags accept?
I'd be surprised if they wouldn't take an .eps file - they could then make it exactly the size needed and you wouldn't have to worry about it.

Gothamite,
Is the Vector Logo of the latest Arsenal Crest?
I have a personalized Arsenal european style license plate and an etched type sticker on the back, and both are of the latest crest. I'm hesitant of getting the older crest cause it won't match.
I'll get the information from Cooper Flags and find out.
Thanks again.

Yep, it's a vector image of the new/current crest.
I would suspect that you could send it to them directly and let them worry about the actual size. They have to work in vector images anyway. Let me know.

WOOOHOOO!!!
Cooperflags informed me if I send them the image, they will custom fit it to the entire roof of my car or just the sunroof....
I thought they would ask me about copyright info. Very glad he's not since he doesn't have to aquire the crest himself.
Gothamite, can you let me know what you need so I can use your logo?
Thanks so much!
Lynn :D
