Well that's going to be subjective really and that's ultimately going to be based on the execution of the final design.

The key here is to take some time to define the parameters. Once you've done that, it's time to be creative and just let your mind wander. Sketch and try new things. Pass them on to your client and see what strikes a cord. (no pun intended)

Well if you mean, taking that original image and fixing it? Because it really is quite horribly pixelated and the lines aren't very smooth at all, even at low res, then you can't really.

I tried a Live Trace in Illustrator but even that had only marginal success.

The only option I see is building it from scratch. If you're using Photoshop, the Pen tool will be your best bet.

However, if you're going to rebuild it from scratch then there's no point in copying it, you might as well do something... similar... but of your own design. Unless of course your just set on using this concept 'as is'.

I think if you can, at the very least, duplicate the current concept with the pen tool, you'll be on your way with more room to play in terms of shape, color and effects.
