www.brandsoftheworld.com A Russian based website with VECTOR (pro created) versions of nearly every corporate, pro sports, or business logo you could want. Want to make fake handbags? Make a fake BOA website? Everything you need is right here! (my personal opinion is that it was strated by the Russian Mob, as the first seven years it had no advertisers, during a very bleak time in recent Russian history!) Still, a great resource. Forger Central! //-Mark Carroll//
