I am trying to take the logo for the program that I work for and add it to a circular object.  The logo has some splines in it and would be challenging to recreate.  So I have 2 questions:
1) Is it possible to scale down the logo to a smaller size without having to recreate it?
2) Is it possible to then attach the logo to the curved surface?  I have looked at the FeatureScripts and have not found anything that works
In the picture, the logo is the "MESA" and the rings are the curved surface.
Any help is appreciated.
Thank you.

Once extruded you can easily scale using the transform tool. I have found it easier to scale a solid rather than an imported sketch. 

To get a better-looking pattern on the curved surface I'd reposition each item of logo radial around the surface by drawing a sketch on the top plane with radial lines out just past the surface, add a mate connector onto the end of each line, position each item or group of items via a transform with mate connector to get them in a nice position, then do a replace face to one side of the item with the curved face. You could then thicken this face and add or remove from your curved part as desired.

If you can import the logo successfully at the existing size, and it consists of closed profiles (or can be made to be), you can then just extrude a solid or surface version of the logo. From there, you can use a transform to size it to your liking. To get it on a face, you can just intersect the transformed solid or surface with the target face.
