Look familiar?
I was browsing the web, and thinking to myself, I'd be interested in having the Milk Carton mascot of Blur's "Coffee and TV" on my desktop, so I set out to make a vector reproduction of the carton, for starters. Took me half a day, which isn't much when I actually sit in front of a graphic program.

"Milkie" was made from scratch in Sodipodi, with a frame from the videoclip as visual reference (a little too small to make anything out of, unfortunately, so there are probably more than a few things that aren't quite exact).

First person to point out where the "missing" photo is from, gets him/herself some Kugel.

EDIT: fixed some details.
EDIT #2: We now have gradients!

Wow cool pic. In response to 'Parricides' question, vectors aren't like bitmaps or the sort of thing you might get in photoshop [strictly]. A Vector image could be scaled up or down as much as you like because the lines and fills are remembered as mathematical sums, rather than lines of pixels. So basically if you had a vector image which consisted of a spagetti stlye line, and you wanted to scale it up to twice its normal size the program would calculate the dimensions of the line and multiply the answer by two. PLUS this means that you get smooth lines because it just fills out the pixels in the moniter as smoothly as it can. thats pretty much that, i know its not specifically correct but its all you need to know.
Vector imaging programs include, Adobe Illustrator, Macromedia Flash series, etc,
The programs tend to be quite pricey but some people get a free demo CD, and crack the 30 trial, with a key-gen from the net. But thats illegal, and its not what i do. No sir-E.

hope ive been of some help.

There's also Sodipodi ([link]) which I used to make this piece. It's a very nice, cross-platform vector art application. It's still in development, and isn't yet as powerful as the other applications you mentioned, but it does the job well.

On strictly GNU/Linux, there are also Karbon14, Sketch, and Inkscape, which are also very nice and are also Free Software.
