that should be easy enough to replicate and should be quite cheap as it's a simple design.
Erm, I've lost my keys again...

Even Dave's doesn't look quite right to me. Try these for size...

Original (scanned, a bit scrappy):

And cleaned up to just 3 pure colours, but still in need of squaring off, etc:

Edit: Well...it was before I compressed it. I have the bitmap original, but it's 3.5mb.

cheers

Let me send you my original bitmap sometime...that way you're starting from a pure 3 colour file.
