I would normally use vinyl transfer tape to perfectly position my foil or vinyl designs on the final product, but in this case I was placing the logos on art boards with a paper-like surface. I’ve learned the hard way in the past that transfer tape won’t come off of paper easily, so I needed to find a different method to position the adhesive foil logos on the black art boards.
My main concern was getting the logos perfectly centered, so I decided to remove the adhesive backing and lay the first logo face down {foil side down} on the frame glass centered within the matte opening.

Looks awesome! Could you please advise the size you made the logo's?
Angela, Blue i Style says
I sized each to fit inside the 11×14 mat openings, so each is about an inch smaller than that in it's biggest direction. Does that make sense? So the Batman logo, for example, is wider than it is tall, so I sized the width to about 13 inches to fit in the mat. And the Spider Man logo is taller than it is wide, so I sized it to about 10 inches tall to fit in the mat.

Yes ma'am thank you! Got the supplies today… getting ready to start!

Awesome! Let me know if you have any other questions!

I like what you did with the logos, but what I can't understand is how you cut a piece that size. I have just got my hands on a Cricut Explore and I am finding that I can't seem to cut anything wider than about 6.25" x 9.5". You seem to be able make large cut pieces – how do you do it?
Many thanks
Ian

The max size you can cut is determined by your machine and the mat you use… but I believe all of the Explore Machines can use both 12×12 and 12×24 mats. You can't cut quite as big as your mat because it can't cut right to the edge, but you should be able to cut as large as 11.5 x 23.5 with the largest mat.
Within the Cricut Design Space program, you'll set the size you want the logos to be (I sized mine to approx 10×13 each), and then you'll choose the mat size you are using (I used the 12×24 mat to accommodate the size of my logos).
Ian Williams says
Many thanks, Angela… I'm still finding my way around the Explore… it's fun trying
Kind regards

How do I find this logo on the Cricut design space?
Angela, Blue i Style says
Purchase clip art versions of each logo online (a dollar or two each, if I remember right) and the uploaded them into Design Space. I explain above and link to another tutorial if you need step by step instructions for turning the logo into a cut file.
