CorelDRAW tutorial: Trace, vectorize and modify a simple logo (video)

There are many reasons why you might like to vectorize an existing logo. Perhaps you need to modify it, integrate it into a larger design, or generate a high-res printout. As you can see in the video, there's not much you can do with the low-res Android logo Google gives you.

However, since the bitmap I selected was so small (and simple), I opted to use a completely manual tracing method - I just recreated the Android logo using a few simple shapes.
