This will work if the top of the gear stick
is only slightly curved or flat ...
If your logo is simple, hard-edged shapes,
create paths for the edges of the shapes.
Perhaps your Photoshop EPS already has
the shapes in it. If not, you can create the
shapes within Photoshop and then export
those paths in Illustrator format compatible
with Illustrator 5.5 or less.
Since you already know how to use the Spline
Modeler, just create a new spline object and
import your logo as a cross section. Once you
have that, go to the Texture Room and color
the logo the way you want it.
Then go into the Assemble Room and place this
logo object onto your gear stick so that it is
raised up just a bit above the surface of the
stick. That should do it.
