I'm still amazed that there's people out there doing logos in in image format, instead of vector, and when I ask for a high resolution of a logo, I get a large gif with alpha channel.
I don't want to sound mean or elitist, but you would think common sense would come to play so easy on this kind of situations, specially when we are talking about a MAYOR corporation...
is that wrong to assume?

so i freelance for a 3d prototype and development firm...
they are working on a cover plate for some electronics on a helicopter, they request the logo, are told that the image sent over was all they had, all. same image from the website. some shit tiny gif.
i have to recreate some font i can't identify and an icon both which were pretty easy. they inform the company they have created the file they'd need and they'd be charged for the time necessary. the place agrees. cool, part goes as planned.
then i'm contacted from said company for a copy of my file for illustrator and a pdf. they offer to pay me for this file and do.
so yeah, i agree though, keep master files people, but how many times do you get to sell an existing logo twice, one of which the company whose logo it is?
beziers a point here somewhere, i node there is...

I'm still amazed that we're getting logos from account execs and project managers that have no idea what to ask for and when you ask for an eps they act put out for even asking again.
