Default Hi-res F150 logo?

Does anyone have, or know where I can find a high resolution image of the new F150 logo, like below? I'm looking for a better quality image so I can integrate it into my carputer's theme.

Thanks!

As far as from the internet thats probably as good as you will get. On a small carputer screen it should look fine IMO, if you clean it up a bit in photoshop. I've used files that small to make decals before and they turn out good after cleaning up the image a bit.

That's the biggest one Google Images pulls up.

Bummer. I may use that as a template and make my own if I can't find one. The skin I'm making for my CarPC's front-end software is pretty clean and detailed, and I'm a bit of a perfectionist, so I'd like a better image, naturally...

I'm surprised Ford doesn't have any on their website.

A carputer is what it sounds like. It's a computer (like a laptop or desktop) but for your vehicle. Some people use it with their head unit, others (like myself) use it in place of the head unit. So it's like having the Ford Nav unit, but with more customization and features.

I am replacing my head unit with a 8" touchscreen. The computer itself is in my center console, and I have it setup to do navigation, music, internet, weather, diagnostics, media, bluetooth (phone, may use this instead of my sync unit), etc.

The cool thing is that at my house, I have a server with over a terabyte of music, and I'm constantly adding more. When I pull my truck into the driveway, the PC connects to the wireless internet and checks to see if there have been any files modified or added since it last checked. If not, then the carputer will go to sleep (doesn't consume much power at all), if yes, then it will update the music hard drive until completed. For whatever reason, if it takes much longer than it should and drains the battery, the power supply will shut off the PC if the battery reaches a predetermined capacity (like 25% or so).

I want details on how to make this. Im assuming you built the carputer? Ive built many of computers before. Im just curious as to how you get everything to sync together (ie: GPS and phone bluetooth). Sorry to lead astray the topic.
