3D printed logo and raised letters
Your logo becomes a physical object made in our workshop, to stand on a counter or fix to a reception wall. If you're after an animated 3D logo for a screen, a graphic designer is the person to see: here, we make the actual piece.

Examples of our work
A 3D logo sign printed in relief
3D printing builds the shape layer by layer, which gives depth that a flat cut-out panel can't.
- Several levels : The background, the symbol and the lettering can each stand at a different height. The logo reads from across the room and catches the light.
- Bevels and rounded edges : Letter edges can be chamfered or rounded, like carved lettering, instead of a straight cut side.
- Several colours : The red, black and white of the Stade Toulousain decoration come from the filament, not paint. Colours are produced by switching filament mid-print or by assembling parts, depending on the logo.
- Finish to suit : Matt or gloss PLA, or sanding, primer and paint when you need to match a brand colour closely.
Wall, counter and exhibition stand logos
Most of what we make is medium-sized: a counter logo on a base next to the till, a wall logo for a waiting room or reception, raised letters spelling a name above a desk, a panel for a trade show stand.
For a stand, think about transport: a light PLA logo on a base that comes apart travels in a box with the rest of your kit. For a wall, we make the back flat with fixings to suit the surface: plasterboard, wood or tiles.
Beyond a certain size, the logo is printed in several parts and assembled. We put the joins where they show least, between two letters or along an outline. A logo covering a whole shopfront is a job for a sign maker.
The flower menu holders made for Biscuit Bakery show another use: an object in the venue's identity, on every table.
Flat-cut letters or a 3D printed logo?
Both techniques have their place. Here's how to choose.
In practice, a sign several metres wide on a shopfront remains the territory of flat cutting. When it comes to a reception logo, a name above a counter or a stand element people see up close, printed relief makes the difference: you see the bevels and the levels, and the light picks out the edges.
| Criterion | Flat cutting (PVC, Dibond, acrylic) | 3D printing in relief |
|---|---|---|
| Depth | Comes from the sheet thickness and stand-off spacers | Modelled into the piece: levels, bevels, rounded edges |
| Colours | One per sheet, or printed on the face | Several filament colours, switched mid-print or assembled |
| Large format | Suited to big signs and shopfronts | Medium size; larger pieces in assembled sections |
| Outdoors | Materials made for exterior signage | Mainly indoors; PETG for limited exposure |
| Short runs and variations | Cost-effective mainly for flat formats | One file for a wall logo, a keyring or a display stand |
Getting your logo 3D printed: step by step
- Send your logo : A vector file (SVG, AI or PDF) is ideal. A high-resolution PNG works too. If all you have is a photo of the old sign, we redraw the logo.
- Tell us where it will go : Wall, counter or stand, the size you want, your brand colours. We suggest the number of levels and the thickness.
- Approve the 3D model : You receive a preview of the model in relief. We adjust the heights or colours before printing starts.
- Printing and fixing : Where needed, we add screw holes, a base or recesses for adhesive pads. Collect from the workshop in Toulouse or have it delivered within France.
Logo keyrings and merchandise from the same file
Once your logo is modelled, it can be reused for other objects: keyrings, magnets, coasters like the album-cover ones in the gallery, small till-side displays. One piece or a short run, and each one can carry a different first name or date with no tooling.

Frequently asked questions
What file do I need to supply for my logo?
A vector file in SVG, AI or PDF gives the best result. A high-resolution PNG is fine too, and with no file at all we redraw the logo from an image.
Is this a digital 3D logo or a physical object?
A physical object, printed in our workshop. We don't produce animations or 3D renders for websites or video.
Can you match my brand colours exactly?
We choose the filaments closest to your colours. For a precise shade, the piece can be primed and painted.
Can the logo be fixed to a wall?
Yes. We build in screw holes, recesses for double-sided tape or a hanging system on the back, depending on your wall.
Is there a minimum order?
No. A single logo for your reception is fine, as is a short run for several branches or a stand.
Can I see one logo before ordering the whole run?
Yes. After you approve the 3D model, we can print a first piece so you can check the colours and size on site, then produce the rest.
Can my logo go outdoors?
Our raised logos are designed for indoor use. For moderate exposure, under a canopy for example, PETG holds up better than PLA, but a shopfront sign is a job for a sign maker.
How much does a raised logo cost?
It depends on the size, the number of colours and the design work. The quote is free once we have your file.
