Creating a Logo

Creating a Logo

Creating a Logo

(OP)
Hi Forum readers,
Can some one give me some tips on how to create a simple
logo in Solidworks and apply it to a part or a surface?
Thanks,
sams

RE: Creating a Logo

A bit more information is needed.

Do you have an image or sketch of the logo ?

Is the logo to be 2D (silk screened or printed label), or 3D (engraved or embossed)?

Is the surface flat or cylindrical or spherical?

RE: Creating a Logo

sams,

   Are you designing the logo, or are you copying an existing logo?

   If you are designing the logo, is this something you are good at?    A good artist is like a good mechanical designer.  They can overcome crappy tools.  Good tools will not make up for a lack of ability.

RE: Creating a Logo

I have made some complex Logos in Solidworks and we use them in all our Consumer Plastic designs. Its not that hard.

What kind of logo are you trying to make?

I am designing a simple 2D logo to apply on my drawings and plastic parts created in SW.
A thumbnail size 1"x1/2" with my name and a starburst sketch on it, probably color it.
Then save as a logo in solidworks, (I do not know at this moment if I can save it as a logo.)
Then as the need arises I want to paste it on flat or cylindrical surfaces.
No silk-screening or printing is involved, may be embossed on flat or cylindrical surfaces
In SW CAD jobs.
Thanks for your help so far,
sams
 

RE: Creating a Logo

If your doing it in the drawing, then I would just use the Sketch tools to create it. JPEG files or other image file types are not always ging to show up when other people open the drawing. this is due to some Active X settings I believe. So its just a lot easier to make it all within a sketch and convert it to a block for safe keeping.

That's how I have built all our logo's in every company I have been with, images are just to unstable.
