You need 'vectors' to make a 'non-pixelated' image.
You provide the vecs image, and they make it. That's how it's done with "most" logos. Pretty easily done if you got photoshop and some time.

plus..they are a revscene sponsor, so it doesn't hurt to return the business back to them

those stickers do look out of place no doubt, but those are some balling companies however, nothing rice about any of the products they make....
especially ARC, that's like the highest end shit that comes from Japan... anyone with ARC products is considered a full blown JDM baller, lol

Adon, i don't think you should be mucking with photoshop or anything. The hardest part is "coverting" what you would like to a vector from raster.
That or creating something all together in Vec.
Most of the design artist can take care of t his...
