I do this one all the time at work. If it is a public company…search their web site and go to investor information or corporate information section of their site and try to find a PDF version of their annual report.. (hopefully they will either have a high res or vector version of the logo their).
Save the PDF file to your HD….and the there are two ways to extract it.
1st…you can use photoshops File/Automate/multi-page PDF to PSD. Check out the setting there…make sure you are in rgb (it defaults to greyscale)…and up your resolution. (and make sure you have ONLY the page you want selected). It saves your psd where you told it too..but will close out…so go to most recent and open it that way (fast)…and then you should have decent file to work with.
#2 if you have access to corel draw 11 (earlier versions are a bit trickier), and i assume Illustrator can do this. You can just do a file open on that PDF file (again…it will ask you to select a specific page)….and boom…you have the whole page as vector and text. You can then just get rid of everything you do not need.. and then marquee the logo and export it as a jpg, png…or whatever.
hope this helpsIf you can open up a PDF in a vector program you should be able to export at a very high resolution…and therefore not get the "jaggies"
Let me know if this helps.

At least since version 7, PS has got a Extract filter which will isolate whatever you need isolating from its background. Extract the logo from its original background and paste whatever you get into the new file.
Of course, the manual has info on how to use this filter.

Okay, so I’m wracking my brain over this one. I simply want to clip out and
transpose a corporate logo over another scene, but no matter what
approach
I
take the edge seems to be rough and pixelated. There must be a simple solution. Thanks for taking the time to read this email, and if you
have
any advice – I’ll be forever in your debt.
