WTB Taito station art or 300dpi images/pdfs

[mltv]

Hey folks - Im looking for some taito station art (the space invader and also "taito station"). The red/white that you see at the taito stations in akihabara. I either suck at googling (most likely), but I cant seem to find any quality images so I can get these printed.

If you have anything already printed, or can print them - let me know. Otherwise, if someone can point me to files I can use and bring to a printer, that would work, too.

thanks!

It's all really simple pixel sized lettering (even the logo), draw it out pixel by pixel in paint or Photoshop and then increase the size in multiples of 2 until it's as big as you want... done

looking at the image jassin posted the letters look like they're all 3 pixels across and 5 pixels tall.

twisted- this would be pixel accurate, but it's actually not- the kerning (and the spaces) are condensed a little bit to make it a bit more visually pleasing.

Interesting... if you vectorized that and then placed it over a lower resolution copy to probably adjust the kerning and the proportions you could still end up with a near perfect vector copy.

just because i like fonts and things and i'm a bit out of practice with fontographer (last font I designed was ~8 years ago), gonna make up a font for their identity
