Calling graphics / photoshop guys

I have a version of our company griffon see attached. All of the versions are quite low les apart from the original which is a tiff file but is very poor quality.

The attached file is a gif that I reduced to 2 colours and I have attached a couple of variants.

What I need to end up with is a tiff file in at least 300dpi suitable for print. Increasing the size of the griffon gives him quite rough edges. What I would like would be a nice smooth edged one.

If some could help or provide direction (I only have macromedia fireworks) I would be repping like a mad man :-)

Re: Calling graphics / photoshop guys

Any good? You really need Photoshop for this sort of stuff to be honest.

You need Winrar to extract the file, the image is in TIFF format as requested, i made it 600 DPI for your benefit - you can screw around with it a bit more then.

Its a bit soft round the edges, i may be able to do better with an original image.

The original image is very poor and this is much better. I have just downloaded adobe illustrator to try create a vector image both in purple and in outline . I can create and outline but not actually get it to have an outline and I can only fill in bloody gradient.

Here's another, this time with eye and claws.

Is this what you are after?

Thanks for that BR, Still a little fuzzy though. Might have to get a book on adobe illustrator or find a tutorial as it seemed to pick up a really detailed outline, if i could only find a way to colour it it i'm on to a winner.
