Hi and Welcome !  
You can download .STL file with your link to cgtrader.  
You can import it in Shapr3D. But It will be a mesh object.  
The other solution (the cleanest in my opinion) will be to redesign the logo (sketch) and extrude it.  
You can import the original image to use as a template.

You can do auto image trace, both in Inkscape and Illustrator. I did it quick in Inkscape you should download the software and fine tune it.

It’s a DXF file forum makes you zip it.

Your method is the best way 🙂  
Here is very quick hand made variant, spline and other primitive used to recreate
