In light of the beginning of life (new baseball season), I recently purchased a posterboard with the 1973 logo of my hometown baseball team. Not content to just scan it in, I decided to recreate it in Xara by tracing over the image. Little bigger project than I had anticipated and it would've been extremely difficult without the use of layers.
I imagine the following logo is copyrighted, trademarked, patented, certified, registered, and everything else under the sun. I hereby ack the above have no intent to use my copy for commercial purposes. However, I imagine Major Leagues Baseball still wants me to pay megabucks for the purpose of giving one of their teams free publicity.

Be careful Joroho, the Major Leagues ARE going to come after you! It is rumoured that some players salaries are paid out from XARA forum copyright lawsuits [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif[/img]
Recreating a scanned image is excellent practice and a good way to master the tools in a practical way. Posting an image like this is a good way to get mail from a law firm [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif[/img]
