Google Chrome Poster from Source Code
This holiday weekend, I decided to compose the Google Chrome logo using the browser's own source code. I used a combination of Ruby, ImageMagick, and a heavily hacked PDF library to generate this poster.
This is the icon that I used:
Here's what it looks like zoomed in:
And zoomed in some more:
Download the PDF in all it's vectorized glory. (Approx 1.5MB. Please don't link directly to the poster.)
Take it to your favourite print shop. Since it is based on vector graphics, it can be scaled up trivially without losing quality.
Happy Holidays!
P.S. If you ask me nicely, I might send you a 24-page letter-sized split of the poster so you can print it at home. (At nearly 50MB, it's too big for me to host here.)

For anyone wanting to print a 24-page (or whatever fits your needs) version, the
Rasterbator
is your friend.
inputs : source code, icon

I would like to do something similar for a project of mine.
