Introduction
Creating professional logos is probably fairly difficult. However, you can fairly easily create a logo if the original drawing or picture is not too complicated.

(draft)
Get the original logo or take it from here:
Before it can be stitched, this logo needs some work. Each petal and each letter should become a path. In addition, overlaps must be removed.

- Make the strokes a bit fatter, e.g. 1.5mm
- Transform the strokes to path (Menu path:Stroke to path).
- Merge into a single path (CTRL-K)
- SHIFT CTRL Select yellow flower (Tournesol_1_) and the new combined strokes path
- Menu Path -> Difference.
- Fix the petals with the Node Editor (optional, I did not)
Fix the center, i.e. keep the circle but remove the yellow behind

- Now Select All and Ungroup
