Thanks to Polyjak's guild avvies, I made this high-resolution Izzet insignia for all to enjoy. This is my first attempt at vector tracing, mind you, so it's certainly not spot-on. But it's decent enough that no one not looking carefully will be able to tell the difference. It's 500x500 to match the ones that R_E showed us for the first three guilds, but since it's a vector drawing, it can be any size I want; if you need something larger, PM me.
If you're lucky, I might even do the others :).
I have no idea what they are or where they came from. They weren't in the file I made, they aren't in the file you see, so I can only surmise that ImageShack thumbnails have no idea how to deal with transparency.
Photoshop. Specifically, the pen tool and the Direct Selection Tool. And lots of toggling visibility/invisibility of layers :p.
EDIT
And, finally, the Azorius. Man, that was hard. So hard, in fact, that it's not saved fully as a vector :-/. So, 500x500 is as big as it's gonna get.
It's definitely a maze.
@ Nex3: Have you tried Illustrator? You'll probably get more accurate results and better subtraction and intersection options for those cut out sections like the Azorius maze.
Is it really a maze in there? I thought it was just supposed to be a bunch of dots... who knows.
I based my image off a resized version of the logo presented at Wizards, so while some stuff might be slightly off, the general idea and shapes are the same.

I haven't. What's illustrator? I'd be more than happy to try out something that can do better stuff than the (rather mediocre) abilities of Photoshop. Don't get me wrong, it's a great program, but its vector editing leaves a bit to be desired.

Illustrator is a vector drawing program done by Adobe. It's pretty nice. One of the new features can trace any drawing/bitmap into an editable vector. It's definitely a 'must get' imo.
Also, I decided to take a whack at the Azorius insignia:

Ignore the black boxes, they go away when you click the thumbnail.
I've got a little request for ya. Could you make a vector of the symbol of Yawgmoth? You can find info here.
Thanks in advance.

And for fun I did a colored verision.
EDIT: Oh wait I just have images off. Never mind.
