Greg, I have done quite a few traced logos and have experimented with Corel Trace and others and have ALWAYS fell back to tracing in the 2d Shaper. It works the fastest and with less touch-up time (IMHO). HINT: When you start tracing the logo ALLWAYS go to the Views pull down menu and click on SAVE CURRENT. Then after you have zoomed into the polygons for detail work you can RESTORE CURRENT. After I have done most of the logo I will turn off background view and touch up by eye.
