laser etching a school logo on a glass

I recently took the rotary laser class at the TechShophttp://www.techshop.ws and tried putting the school logo (Which I had saved in Corel Draw from an earlier project) on a small drinking glass

Step 1:

the TechShop http://www.techshop.wsuses either Corel Draw or Adobe Illustrator. I have Corel. I made the design and then used drop box to send it to myself at the TechShop. The advantage of Drop Box is that it is a file folder - sort of like having a drive. I can access it from anything - a computer, my phone, ipad, etc. I opened it on the TechShop computer which is assigned to the laser cutter.
I sized it according to the nice flat band at the top of the glass (the rest of the glass has an angle to it and would have required adjustments in the design).

Great Instructable. My favorite material to laser engrave is glass. It really stands out. I guess the musical notes were already on the glass.

One suggestion on your logo: on the wolf, add a contour step in Corel and color it white. That way, there will be an outline to give definition to the wolf apart from the moon. Otherwise, great job.

You may want to try the design on wood. I have been working with some photographs on Cherry and the results have been very interesting. I think the moon with a combination of the wolf (without any changes to the design) would look great. Good luck
