Just the word ROX would be great, but what I'd REALLY like to do is add the baseball and the hash marks around it (indicating movement) that are in this picture:
Help Please: Making rhinestone template of multicolor logo
I vectorized a multicolor logo, and want to make a rhinestone template of it. I'm using knk studio. I want the design to be 9 or 10 inches wide. I will be using 10ss stones, and I like them to be as close together as possible, so usually go around 3.9mm spacing. I've done letters and simple designs, such as stars, etc, but am not sure where to start with this. It's frustrating, because I see the final product in my mind's eye, but getting it to materialize is another story! I'm sure I could commission someone to just do it for me, but I need to know how to do it myself. I appreciate any help I can get with learning how to do this!
Here's the logo:

My fiance didn't like the idea of me making a video tonight.. .She's convinced my voice wakes up our babies... LOL
I will try to make one tomorrow when they are not too crazy... (16 month old and 2 month old)
That said the design is done and it looks good... But it's a tricky one... At first you think oh no big deal... But to get it really spot on it takes a little figuring... The St. Cloud at the top I would do as a two color print... I actually think it adds perceived value when you do some printing with rhinestones. Plus the St. Cloud looks like the original artwork because it is. Where done in rhinestones given its size it would look nothing like the original artwork... It's a matter of personal taste really.
I know it's a lot to ask but I would so love to see some folks with some "automated" software tackle this and share their results...
This took me about 40 minutes to complete... But it was done in CorelDRAW it's all I really know when it comes to rhinestone software... I just can't help but think there is an easier way...
I can look at a design and know exactly how to do it in CorelDRAW... I just can't shake the feeling though that there is something easier I'm overlooking....

Good approach! Yes, I agree with you, it would be great to see how in different programs this would be tackled. I have a few different programs but I am a bit busy at the moment and am not proficient enough to probably go under your 45 minutes. I will give it a quick go but if it takes over an hour it isn't the programs fault but my inexperience. I will let you know how I go

Great challenge, this is how I would create the design.
Can't compete with Kevin's video. BTW thanks for all the efforts and work that your sharing, very much appreciated.
Anyway I tackled this design first vectorizing the image and making the frame using SS10 cobalt
stones with the rStone macro.
Slight adjustments about 10minutes.
Then I worked on the ROX, basically using Kevin's technique, with the Drawstone macro. Siam stone for shading and light siam for the main caracter.
Grouping separately the colours in 2 distinct groups about 30 minutes.
St Cloud I used an engraver font, a simple outline with SS6 crystal stones, a couple of minutes with the drawstone macro.
Baseball; I shapes a circle and doing the island fill with the rStone macro SS10 crystal. Fit in the ball with the ROX and deleted extra stones. The stitches where done manually, grouping with the light siam of Rox. About 30 minutes work.
This would be my overall stencil layout.
