PM me or email address with a pic. I'll take a look at it for you. Make sure the pic is straight on, level and not canted. (square the box up) I've been doing some logos off of pics and then 3D printing them. I should be able to get it into a file format for CNC or engraving. I have solid works at work.

Replied.
I'll try to clean up the drawings a little for better resolution. I included rendering of 3D printed that you could paint.

I'm printing urethane pads where you step onto the boat for my AT with the logo in them like the 2nd pic. I can print about 11"x11".
