Example 4 - black & grey school mascot: This pair of wood boxes illustrates how logos may need to be manipulated in order to achieve optimal results. The first example pair shows the original color logo file simply converted to black & white. The second example pair shows the same logo manipulated to optimize it for engraving.
Change 1: The school's initials (SC) on the first example don't stand out very well. This is because they were a medium grey in order file 1 which caused the olive box top to be embossed in that area. By changing the letters to white in order file 2, shown on the black box, they stand out as well as the mascot.
Change 2: The eagle's beak was changed from a light grey in order file 1 to pure white in order file 2. This avoids the very slight scraped look on the olive box and helps the mascot look more uniform.
Change 3: The last change is visible between the eagle's head and the top and bottom of the "C" on the olive box. There was a small triangular space that was left white on the first file, but when this translated to the engraved box did not look as good. In the second example this area was filled in solid black which helped the final engraving look better.
