The client likes it but they were wanting "something really 3D, you know?". Draw a trapezoid shape with the left-hand side shorter than the right-hand side and use Extensions → Modify Path → Perspective to give the logo a perspective look - figure 6.You also want to make it look a bit more "3D". These all look good but you decide to go with the "Button" version. Next you try using a "Shadows / Cutout Glow", which also looks nice - figure 5.This looks okay but you try the "Bevel / Raised Border" filter instead and get something that also looks nice but in a different way - figure 4.Apply the "Bevel / Button" filter to the logo, edit the filter and change the Specular Lighting Light Source to a Spot Light to get a nice "3D" effect - figure 3.Check that everything looks okay but keep the whole logo grouped.Export the logo as an SVG from Scribus.But you also know that Scribus can save pages as SVG files which Inkscape can handle so you don't need to start drawing the logo all over again. You move over to Inkscape, which can be downloaded from here. Knowing, as you do, that the Scribus graphics tools are good, but they can't cope with very complicated effects very easily, you decide to take this to the next level. The client says: "It's nice but we were expecting something a bit more '3D'". You now have a "lit" version of the logo - figure 2. ![]() ![]()
