Where's the PostgreSQL logo these days?

I just spent a fruitless half hour rooting around the website for
our elephant-in-crystal logo. I need a moderately large, clean copy
for the title slide of a presentation. Where's the original hiding?

regards, tom lane

We never really had a large one. There was a gold colored one on the
previous website but it wasn't clean since it was a blowup of the size
we have on the site now. There are some others on the pgsql site in
the propaganda section or perhaps we can get Jan to generate a large
version.

Drat. Guess I'll have to use the cartoon elephant instead.

Does anyone know how to convert a ".ai" file into EPS? I think that's
some kind of vector-art format, and it'd be nice to preserve scalability.

i know you can open them in paint shop pro, but i don't know if it
rasterizes them or not. you might try ghostscript, too, because i think
it's just a variant of postscript. if you're in a bind, we have a copy
of adobe illustrator here that i can install and see what the options
are.

Just checked Photoshop, and it can handle .ai although I've only got 5.5,
so it would get changed into a bitmap :-(

It lists it under "Generic EPS (*.eps, *.AI, ...)" so its similar to eps
anyhow.

I looked for that myself. It is on the web site in slices so it can be
rendered faster in a browser.

Yes, I found that I just had to comment out some stuff at the end
(%%PageTrailer and showpage) to get the file to work as plain EPS.
Now I've got a pretty sharp-looking title page, and it's pure scalable
Postscript which means I'm not limited to a particular resolution.
Excellent...

I'd still like an EPS copy of the crystal elephant someday, though.
Jan?

He is in Poland until Sunday for a speech.
