The challenge of this commision was to convert a 2D logo into a 3D model. Not only did this mean giving the logo depth, texture and edges, the topology (internal structure) of the model had to be ‘clean’.
The image on the right shows ‘bad’ topology

Giving the logo ‘good’ topology allows the 3D software to better calculate deformations, texturing and transformation. For example applying a cloth simulation could give the logo a melting effect...
Retopology is a time consuming process but can allow for alot of creative fredom when further manipulating the visual structure of a model.
Here the inner part of the logo had ‘clean’ all quads topology.
