[JMIRAND]

Is there a way to wrap these logo to a cylinder?

Hi @JMIRAND Welcome to the Forum

Use Tools > Project
There is an example of this at:

Projecting is a vital feature, but unfortunately will warp the logo in this instance. How can we wrap these shapes onto the cylinder or curve?

Hi @quartzstudio Welcome to the Forum

Create the Logo and use Transform > Rotate around Axis

Then use Tools > Project:

Thanks for your reply! Unfortunately, this method still causes warping. The edges of the A in this example will be stretched (just a bit), but these irregularities split among the many characters and shapes of a logo distort the original artwork.

Is there any way to wrap a shape around a curve?
(not just splitting the source artwork and projecting smaller shapes and hoping no one will notice the distorition)

@quartzstudio
The A size was deliberately chosen to display differences between Original and projection.
the following illustrates those differences:

The dimension difference of the Top Cross Bars is 17,569mm - 17.500mm = 0.069mm longer on Projection

In the following the A has been Scale to 25%:

The dimension difference of the Top Cross Bars is 4.375mm - 4.383mm = 0.008mm

In this example, I extruded the logo much deeper than required, cut of front and back at desired diameter.
