fedora-logo lasercutted on a stainless steel plate

שָׁלוֹם

Fedora has one of the easiest logos, because it is a design with very simple figures of geometry.
You need 5 min or less. Don’t believe?

1.)
create 3 circles radius= 25mm 30mm 35mm
Fedora CAD 1

2.)
Create some helplines. Use for lenght the radius of the inner and outer circle
Fedora CAD 2

3.)
Create 2 new helplines with 30° and 45° based from vertical helpline
The point of intersection is the middle of new circles with radius 5mm
Fedora CAD 3

4.)
Create a new vertical line down to the middle circle and another 7,83 mm to the left. [1]
Fedora CAD 4

5.)
Remove all helplines
Fedora CAD 5

6.)
Clip all lines, which are unnecessary
Fedora CAD 6

7.)
Copy the whole and make a 180° turn for the second
Fedora CAD 7

8.)
Merge both, center the overlaps with helplines,
make a new circle with radius 90mm
and create the corner at bottom left
Fedora CAD 8

9.)
Remove the helpline and clip and the corner to the circle.
Fedora CAD 9

10.)
Round the corners in the f with radius 5mm
and the corner of the “voice” with 15mm
Fedora CAD 10

So long and thanks for all the fish :-)

[1] Why 7,83?
It is the cord of the 2 centerpoints of the circle in an angle of 15°
chord=2 x radius x sinus (alpha/2)
chord=2x30xsin(15/2)=7,83

    Uhm, did you ever compare the result to the actual logo? In fact, the inner part (the f/infinity symbol) should be bigger and reach further into the bottom left edge.

    But that put aside, it’s a really great work of bringing the monotone version of the logo to steel!
