Help with logo/Inkscape please!

Post by nik_9011 »

Hello! I havent been to this forum in a LONG time!! had a baby girl and got into making hairbows and my cricut collected some dust. BUT here I am again and need some help and I knew this would be the best place to come...I have a logo I have to make 130 of. Its the Army JROTC logo. I have it but when I convert it in INKSCAPE it makes the letters at the bottom blend in too much with the bottom part of the decal. I would like if possible for the letters to be individual and not touching the bottom part..anyone wanna help me?? :D TIA!!!

Heather, I know how talented you are. I was trying to do the same image for the person that posted it but I had trouble getting all the pieces to work together. I got close to yours, but I seemed to have trouble when I grouped the pieces and it seems it might be inner rectangular frame giving me problems. When I have everything groups and if I choose path union I get a "one of the objects is not a path" message at the bottom. Can you see what I might be doing wrong? If I am asking too much, just let me know. I understand how valuable time is.

Sandy,

You used Object/Group. Ink won't let you use any of the Path operations on Grouped objects. Also, it looks like the inner frames are stroked Paths. You will need to use Path/Stroke to path on them before you use Path/Union. HTH

Okay..here I am again..needing help with this logo. I have to make 130 of these logos. I fit 4 on my 12x24 mat and it literally took like 20 minutes to cut them out. I pulled it into inkscape and did a "simplify" on it and it distorted it pretty bad. Anyone know how I can get this to cut faster, without taking away from image? Thanks so much!!!

I have attached the final svg, since the first one I posted has been changed.

Maybe try to simplify in Scal...it really does not mess things up.
