The Great Seal of the State of Maine, in the highest resolution available on the Internet.
And it’s block-color sibling.
Back story:
A few months ago I designed a new header for the Miss Maine Pageant that uses the Maine State seal and the Miss America crown in a way not yet done by the other states, with the seal floating inside of the crown. Even back then I needed a high resolution image of the seal, but settled on a very upscaled version of a small one instead.
This worked for the initial run, as it only made it’s appearances on the Miss Maine website and the Crown Connections newsletter. But now they want t-Shirts… Slightly bigger than a letterhead…
So I searched high and low for a high(ish[er]) resolution image to use on a T-Shirt, and quickly found there there was no such thing… GAH!!!
Well, I take that back, I found high(er) resolution images of the center portion of the image, but not the whole seal. Until, that is, I thought like a child…
So, after several hours of touch-up, here you have it. The highest resolution, full-color Maine State seal on the inter-webs.
Thats right, I sat down in Photoshop with the coloring-book version of the seal (oddly, the largest version of the seal I could find) for a good long while, and this is what I came up with.
It’s mostly correct, and if you want to touch up the textures and burning yourself, I even gave you the block-color version to play with on your own.
So, for those of you with the same needs as I, remember who loves you.
