I’ve had the idea to try etching a brass plaque/sign to highlight a certain work project (the Team Wah Initiative – top secret!) so I’ve been investigating some possible approaches…
I thought my logo would make a good test attempt, as it’s made up of some simple shapes/lines. I scaled it to size in a vector [...]
