This'd only take a couple of mins though.

2 mins to vectorise.

Like I said, it *really* needed recreating from scratch as opposed to tracing. Tracing is WONDERFUL and it's saved my arse countless times, but for something that's as pure as this it's not only easier to do from scratch, it's the only way to get really accurate lines.
That's the trouble with simple shapes - one TINY irregularity and it throws the whole thing.
As for how I did it, I pulled the original gif into a program made for small spaktards and built over the top of it with vector nodes ;) Two mins, start to export.

No 'automatic tracing' at all.
I've been using Corel Draw since version 3, which is going on 11 years now. I find it's vector tools FAR more powerful and easy to use than Illustrators.
The whole cat face is built up of just 10 nodes around the outer edge - one at each corner point and one at each major curve change. Each eye/nose is made up of three nodes. The halo is simply two elipses. So - two elipses and 19 nodes, plus a few pullings of curves and voilla.
*edit* Even though I've been with Corel Draw for 11 years, I'll be the first to admit that some of the versions of Corel Draw have been unstable sacks of crap. I'm on 12 now and it's rather nice.

Like I said up there ^^^, tracing rarely gives smooth results on shapes like this though.

what did you use. my file trace is perfect, but when i jpeg'd it, it was all bent. i've traced (threshold) photos at work and they are fine for 300dpi, but when i low res them they fuck up. any tips.

If the trace is perfect it *should* export down as a jpeg perfectly too...
Have you tried exporting them as high res but then converting the high res raster image down, instead of going straight from vector to low-res raster?

not for the logo above though. that was seperate software. i think we're on the same level, i'm just toasted.

*Sounds* like you're doing everything right. Kinda hard to tell what's going on without a better idea of what "fucked up" means. If you're getting "other than the normal degradation when you convert to 72dpi" problems, follow up with me next time you see me and I'd love to trouble shoot it.

I've played games like that before, and the spacktards always gang up to reward each other's stupidity.
It's like in school, or the New Fucking Deal. The thick kids are validated and rewarded for managing to string a sentence together, while those among us who are gifted with a full set of chromosomes have to work towards real achievements without any assistance or recognition.
This is, of course, a wild speculation based on my extremely dim view of human nature after having to grow up in Essex.

then draw paths over it - they can do curves.
trace the entire shape with paths. this takes a bit of time.
then there's a button called something like "set path as selection"
do that and fill.
EDIT: There's an auto path option somewhere in photoshop. This will work and be quicker, but not produce as good results as hand-tracing.
