New H.G.P.A. crest art.
Most of you will have seen the original HGPA Crest, as displayed and explained in the HGPA History post.
The one problem with that incarnation of the art is that it was a scan of a drawing dating back to the dawn of the association, and therefore is of limited use in a number of modern computer operations.
In order to open some of these doors for us, I’ve come up with a new incarnation of the crest that is rendered in vector graphics. This allows us to scale the image to any size without losing any resolution, and also allows us to get better results using the crest in modern computer applications. The details of the crest have not changed, just the way the image is generated.
Here’s what the crest itself looks like:
You can click that image to get a larger (800 pixel height) version of the image.
A high-quality JPG version is also available.
And here’s the crest with the mantling and flourishes:
Again, click the thumbnail for an 800-pixel height version, or grab the great big version.
