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.
Mediawiki Logo
(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.
Transform the SVG into a file with many paths
- Select all and ungroup once
Fix the petals
- Subtract white traits from yellow sunflower outline:
- Open the objects panel.
- Select all the white little stripes (inside the group Inline stripes)
- 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
- Select the center circle
- Transform it to a path (Menu Path -> Object ot Path)
- Copy past in place
- CTRL select Flower and the new center drawing
- Menu Path -> Difference
Remove some junk left by Illustrator and use cleanup procedures
- Open the XML editor
- Kill the metadata section (use the little "remove node" icon on top)
- Now Select All and Ungroup
- File -> Cleanup
- File -> Save as optimized SVG
Break apart the tournesol
- Select tournesol
- Path -> Break Apart
- Select Mediawiki text
- Path -> Break Apart
- Fix the "D" letter (SHIFT select outside, inside, then difference)
- Fix the "A" letter
Put everything into a layer
- Create a new layer
- Select all and move to new layer
Parametrize
- Select all
- Menu Extensions -> Embroidery - Params
- Select Autofill with an underly
Result
(simulated)
