Branded

So you are working on a poster or a website for a client. The design incorporates a few well-known corporate logos that you need to place against a custom background. You ask the client if they can get you a vector version of a logo you are missing, and they send you back a low-resolution GIF matted against white, right-click-downloaded off the website of the company in question. Gee, thanks.

The best brands of the world is a useful website that contains an immense collection of thousands of high-quality versions of the official logos for a wide variety of companies, products, movies, sports franchises, TV stations, etc. Most logos are in Illustrator or EPS format, giving them infinite resizability, transparent backgrounds, etc. Warning: a few logos are evil “dot CDR” files, so you have to download a 30-day demo of Corel Draw to convert them to a format that the rest of the professional world uses.

The logo above is one I found on the BBotW site that should be familiar to fans of Jack Bauer’s day-long, sleepless, foodless, bathroom-breakless, traffic-jamless adventures (link to vector version).
