So I finally got Portal 2 a few days ago and beat it in one day. What an awesome game! There are so many iconic features within the game, it's astounding.

Aaaaanyway, I felt the urge to make myself a wallpaper for desktop and/or other devices, using the famous "aperture laboratories" logo; however, nowhere on the internet is the actual logo available for download as a vector. So after much research I remade it myself as close to perfect as I can muster.

After finding tons of fan-made versions of the logo, that weren't spot on, I went with a screen-cap from one of the promo videos to use as reference. Since I didn't have a base scale to work from, all sizes and alignments are eye-balled. Starting with the aperture symbol, it's rotated exactly 10.75 degrees from perfect horizontal/vertical alignment. The font used is Univers, however, "Aperture" is in 75 Black Oblique and "Laboratories" is in 53 Extended, plus some kerning modification to both.

In the image, I've shown a white outline of my version overlaying the image I used as reference. Looks pretty damn close to me! So if you're interested, go ahead and download the SVG file I'm posting. Just remember to give credit where it's due and no profiting.
