2. insert into word
3. adjust to desired size
4. print with laser printer
5. add clear tape
6. wash until only tape is left
7. wait
8. stick it on the cube
9. enjoy your diy logos

If I dont have laser printer is there any other way?
 
I don't have a laser printer and I bet I've got the best home-made logos you've ever seen. My first two cubes are getting their last clear coat. I'll post photos of them in a couple of days when they're finished. They're Zhanchi 55mm with a new mod which I call the "slice mod" because it makes it easier for me to do slices. I used "transfer paper" which you use to make color decals on an ink jet printer.
 
Nice logo Yuxuibbs!

I did mine with rub-on decal transfer film:

These are not as tough as paint, so I give an overall topcoat of clear. This is the result:

The white balls are sticky clay. It's just there to keep some of the clear out of the center of the cube. This makes my clean-up task easier. I'll remove it (and polish the internal surfaces) when I'm done giving the other outside surfaces their last two coats of clear.

An advantage to using clear decals is that, as you can see, the background color is exactly matched. The "white" side is painted with Createx pearl silver, while the "orange" side is Createx pearl satin gold. The blue is partly Createx Pearl Blue and partly their white. Next time I'll probably buy Pearl Turquoise. The blue side has been sanded and needs another couple coats of clear.

This is actually pretty awesome. Printing on stickerpaper and cutting it out seems the most logical way, but I have a laser printer so I'll be testing that paper/tape thingy soon.
