I've sent you an email. I did manage to resize the logo, but you might want to clean up the edges a little (the rough edges were also resized). Reply to my email, and I'll send you the resized logo.

I've sent it to you, but sometimes emails take a little while to come through (especially as I'm using hotmail, LOL).
You'll notice a slight blurring of the resized logo (and slight grain), but no noticeable pixelation.
Hope this helps you out.

Yeah, sorry about the white background. I had my monitor using a non-standard color profile, when I did a levels adjustment on the resized pic. You can fix that in photoshop (levels adjustment), if the white needs to be white.
I actually used STOIK Smart Resizer (a stand-alone proggy) to do the resize. It works with better resizing algorithms than photoshop does.
I then took it into photoshop, where I added a Neat Image filter to reduce the grain. This is where the blur came from.
Next I used the Photokit sharpen plugin to bring out some details.
Finally, flattened the image and did a levels adjustment.
Total time = about two minutes.

If you have Photoshop, there is a way to get rid of most of the 'jaggies' around the logo after enlarging. Just use the Magic Wand with a setting of around 50 and click on the white background. Next, make sure your background color is set to 'White'. Ctrl-Backspace once or twice. (this will 'whiten' the background.) Next, click on Select, Modify, Smooth. I used a setting here of 8 pixels. Click OK and the outline should be much smoother.
There is a plug-in for Photoshop called Alien Skin Image Doctor that makes enlarging a jpeg image like this much simpler.
Also, when creating images such as this one, it's best to use vector graphics (as opposed to raster graphics). CorelDraw and Illustrator are examples of vector graphics programs. With vector graphics, you can enlarge to your heart's content with no loss of quality.
Don't squat with your spurs on!
