The easiest way that I know if is to use a vector image. There are numerous tutorials out there.

Here is one example. [Makerworld tutorial](https://makerworld.com/en/models/660034-2d-vector-to-3d-printing-tutorial#profileId-1471742)

The long and short of it is you need two programs.

1.) A image program to convert a picture into a vector image (.svg extension)

2.) A 3D model program that can open .svg (vector) images like Fusion 360

Once you have your vector image, you can import it into your 3D program and basically build your 3D model. I’ve only ever done it once myself, but that’s the method if you can find the right tutorial.

If its a simple logo you could also just use a program like fusion360 and draw the logo design as a sketch. you can then extrude the parts you want to.  
If you already have the logo in SVG format you can import the SVG file into a fusion sketch.
