I am doing a design for a plaque that needs to have the FIRST logo incorporated into it. Does anyone have the FIRST logo CADded already? If you already have this, please send me an email or PM me.

Thanks in advance,
Andy B.

Andy,

I assume that the vectorized FIRST logos available from their website (http://www.usfirst.org/community/resourcecenter.aspx?id=650) won't cut it? There's not a lot that .eps files won't do, though a Baker-grade project might fall into that small group.

Hey Andy, what kind of format do you need it in?
(2D sketch (AutoCAD) , 3D model (Solidworks))

I can probably come up with something if given a little bit of time, or find one that already exists.

Edit: What Pavan linked above was 2D, but can easily be converted into a 3D extrusion if you need it there Andy.

Getting the shapes to interlock properly sounds like a fun challenge -- more fun than adding tubing to an assembly wherein all of the tube connectors are floating... guess which I'm doing.

Thanks all... I think that I have enough now to do what I need.

Hmmm... all of those previous files were of the old logo (posts from 2002, 2004, 2004). Looks like I am CAD'ding this morning. I'll post what I come up with.

I would suggest using a Raster Image and tracing the logo it would go a lot faster.
Hope it helps

Andy,

A 3D UG/NX model of an award I designed last year was just forwarded to you via Travis--it has a fairly good likeness of the FIRST logo embossed in it. Hope it works for you, or let me know if you need it in another format (IGES, etc.)

We had a similar problem with our team logo this year. We had lost all electronic files of it when our member who made it graduated. So I took a picture of our t-shirt from lastyear and spent two hours a day for five weeks tracing the face on AutoCAD with a polyline. Then pedit it together and hatching it. Not something I would suggest to someone who has not used such tools before. But since we are talking about the first logo, you could probably use straight lines for both the square and triangle. Hopefully this will help.
