If that is all you have to work with it's going to be rough.

 

It is way too small for a good trace.

You are better off tracing by hand the elements you are

trying to copy.

 

Or, sometimes if you print it out at the best resolution you

can.... then enlarge on a good copier, you MAY be able

to get a better trace off the copy.

 

Also, there are many people here that do amazing

reproductions with very little to work with....

and charge a pittance for their expertise.

 

Good Luck,

Sue2

It is just text with a contour and a couple pieces of clipart.  

 

One piece being the flourish/swoosh thing at the bottom, which shouldn't take more than a couple minutes in coreldraw to make.  The other is a a fleur de lis symbol taking placed of the O in Kingsport, which can be found freely numerous places.  I think it is a fleur de lis. it is so tiny I am not sure.  

 

If the font just has to be close, it is a serif type text, (kinda roman looking.)  You can use corel's break apart artistic text to separate the word Kingsport into individual letters making it easy to replace the O with that symbol.

 

All in all 10-15 minutes to make it.  

 

Like Sue2 said, that is going to be abysmal to trace.

That's the older logo used on the Gulfstream Kingsport.  This one here isn't much better but might help.
