Please help!

You could just find the logos online and draw them using the free GIMP 2D graphics program. Then use them as hieght maps in designer.

Here's how I would do it...
find lineart online... coloring book pages are another great source
use coreldraw to turn the page into a bmp and do an outline trace to give it vectors
export from coreldraw as a DXF
import into the carvewright using the dxf importer
give the different vectors different depths of carve or use a v-bit on the vectors
paint and enjoy!
