Enabling SVG Add-On and Importing Logo

Enable the SVG add-on in Blender preferences.
Convert your logo to SVG format using online tools.
Import the SVG logo into your Blender project.

Setting up the Objects

Scale and position the curve objects in the center.
Join the objects and set the origin.
Give extrusion to the curve objects and convert them to mesh.

Creating the Cutout

Add a plane and scale it up for the cutout.
Apply modifiers such as solidify and boolean to create the cutout.
Rotate the object to face forward.

Setting up the Lighting

Add a camera and align it to the view.
Set up a spotlight behind the cutout for dramatic effect.
