Wikipedia has a vector image of the old Civil Defense emblem you can scale to any size you want.
Awesome; thanks! I've been restoring an old OCD helmet I found in an antique store and figured the best way to to the emblem would be to get it printed as a decal.
I don't know why, but I haven't seen good graphic design from the government in decades. The agencies get wishy-washy names, wishy-washy logos - no way can I take them seriously. I wonder if it's something to do with the spread of the MBA mindset.

Good corporate logos seem to be disappearing, too, or "modernized" into Just Another Generic Logo (ooh, look, another shaded ball!)
Hmm... I'm torn. While I do like your neatly transparent image, I still like my green stencil font on white. Tell you what: as soon as I get around to updating my profile, I'll give your signature a shot and see if it grows on me.
