That's actually pretty good.

I don't know of anyway to take a pixel based image and make it into a vector based one. You can go the other way vector to pixel.

Vector means that it uses lines to make up the shape rather than a bunch of dots. It's mathmatical. The problem with pixel based programs is that it doesn't know how to extrapolate, so when it takes a 1 inch square and makes it twice as big it just make it 4 inches big. However, it doesn't maintain the same quality of the edge because it doesn't know how to deal with the edge other than to show it just as it was when it was 2 inches.

I can duplicate it in a vector program for you but it have to wait until Monday. It shouldn't take that long.
