Title: 'Evolution of Man' Graphic - Newbie
Post by: chablis97 on January 06, 2005, 05:42:18 am
I'm in the process of accumulating artwork for my first cabinet.  I have seen a few versions of the attached graphic around in very low resolution.  Does anyone know if the graphic is copyrighted and, if not, where I can get a high resolution version?

Excuse me if I'm going over old ground here . . .

Well the image you have is in French, so its gonna be slightly harder to source but not impossible.

It could make quite a good Marquee......  ;)

I've seen a t-shirt with a similar logo, but no text. I'll see if I cant dig it up somewhere.

It would be pretty easy to vectorize the image, which would give you a high res image.  I think it is probably copyrighted.  It is used for a tshirt.

cool! Now we need to get a scan of it so as to recreate the one above (in english of course!) and create a nice marquee out of it.
