Step 1: Go to Create Menu, select shapes, and click on rectangle. Draw the size of the rectangle in the FRONT view.

Step 2: Click on text, choose your font, and type what u want and click in the middle of the rectangle, with the cursor. Make sure that the text, fits inside the rectangle. NOTE : I have experienced, that some fonts are not good for this operation!!! Your FRONT view, should now look something like this (Fig.1)

Step 3: Select the Rectangle U just made. Go to the modifier stack, select Edit Spline, and DESELECT the Sub-Object button (it should NOT lite yellow).

Step 4: Click Attach, and click in the FRONT viewport, on the Text U just made, they should now be ONE object.

Step 5: Select the Rectangle (which now should have the Text inside), and in the Modifier Stack, select EXTRUDE. NOTE : The reason it is NOT available in the example to the left, is because i have already used it. U can´t extrude an extruded object again. Step 6: Now all u have to do, is to determine the depth of the extrusion. Select the AMOUNT U want, and there u go; U have made a Kinetix- like Logo. It Should look something like this: (Fig2). U should also remember to check the Generate Mapping Coordinates- button, to aviod problems, when applying textures to U´r logo. If U have problems, feel free to look me up on the channel, and ask me. There will be a Part 2, on how to add lights/volume lights, to make it look REALLY cool.
