Simple Logo request

Hi folks,

the logo for Blank Shield Press looks like shit.  It's a crappy little bitmap I drew with Paint, because my artistic skills are nonexistant and I have no access to software useful to my purpose.

I want essentially the logo I've got, except vector-drawn instead of bitmapped, so that the lines are smooth, and the image will scale nicely.  I would like a thin black line as a border.  I've been told, by many many people that this is dead easy and the work of five minutes.  None of them have ever actually done it.

$20 buck to the frst person to take the five minutes and send me something I can use.  If it looks good at about 3 inches across, I'll be happy.  I can't see myself ever needing it larger, and I have enough awareness of graphics programs that I can effectively scale down an image.

thanks,

James

I'll do it on my lunch break today, and send it to you by this afternoon. Is there anything else you want added to the logo (such as a color gradient to give it more of a 3d look, or texture to the shield)?

Thanks!

Nope, no gradients or textures, please.  I like 'em flat and boring. :)

James,

I just sent an email the the logo attached. PM me if you don't receive it, and I'll post it to my site and send you the link.

Just a followup for further readers:  Ed provided exactly what was asked, no hassles, and gave it in multiple formats, including a version scaled to replace the existing website logo, gratis. 

Give this guy work, he delivers.
