Instructables - HOW TO MAKE A GIANT LOGO

(using the vinyl cutter class at Techshop)


In this paper I would like to instruct how to make a giant logo (in this case I copied the “La Honda” city logo) using the vinyl cutter class and equipment at Techshop.
I will explain the process step by step. I have added some pictures to help visualize the steps.

My final product was a giant logo of city of La Honda, California which was used at the La Honda Fire Station (for this purpose the logo will be red and green instead of white and green).

I live in La Honda. The only way to go in and out of the small communities in this Coastal area is on Highway 84.

La Honda is a small community of about 900 residents.   Everyone is proud to have a La Honda sticker on their car. This makes it easy to recognize your neighbor on the road.  Each of the Coastal communities have its own logo: Pescadero, San Gregorio, Half Moon Bay, etc) La Honda sticker is a composite of the letters “L” “H” and a redwood tree. (because La Honda is part of San Mateo County and the county has a redwood tree on the official seal.

Step 1

In this paper I will show you how I created the logo using the knowledge I acquired  in a class of “Vinyl Cutting”and the equipment from Techshop.
