Where can I download good quality corporate logos?

A few years ago, I came across a web site in Russia that had thousands of corporate logos freely available for download in eps format. Does anybody know if this site still exists or if there is any other resource available from where I can download good-quality logos?

Most of them are proprietary.

You may have been looking for this site but I think it is Armenian not Russian. It has the files in eps format.

logotypes.ru was the site I was thinking about, and I'm thrilled to find brandsoftheworld.com. Thank you both!

Obligatory wet blanket: if whatever you're doing ends up on the web, don't be surprised if you get some Hot Lawyer Action.

Also, many of the EPS files, upon closer inspection, aren't so great. Traced, and quickly, it seems.

Quick tip on "acquiring" corporate logos:
Rummage around any corporate website for pdf files. Most pdfs posted on corp sites will likely contain their logos.
Download pdf and open it in Adobe Illustrator.
With any luck, the pdf was created using the vector version of the corp logo. If so, simply extract the logo and save it off.

I can't count how many times I've had to do this. Amazingly, corporations rarely lock the pdfs they post. Easy pickings.
