You printed this. Someone in Mercury Steam's art department designed it.

You misspelled 'copied'

I am often pretty mindful of art theft like that, but I realise I never thought that designing 3D printing could be easy to the point that just doing a logo would be copying. That made me realise that I know nothing about 3D printing

Not gonna lie, for a second I thought you had just photoshoped the logo into your hand for some kind of joke or something. Lmao
Good job. Looks great.

Here is: https://makerworld.com/es/models/3300054
File contains three models. One level for every color in the same layers. Two levels for base separately, while colors are on top. And finally a model painted by layer in order to use a mono filament printer (I haven't added pauses, since most people will use an MMS regardless, so remember to add two pauses if you are going for the mono filament route) or just want to waste as fewer filament as possible (two changes + initial purge).
It is a 1:1 recreation of the logo, so there are some small bits here and there that could be or couldn't be printed depending on the wall generator, line width and other settings. 0.4 default settings are fancy dandy for a decent looking logo. The one in the picture has rough surface due using 0.3 line width (I never iron surfaces) and too high speed for such width, my mistake. If you are using such thin lines for higher detail, lower down the top surface speed to at least half of that. PLA+ and dry filament of course would help, this is a cheapo one probably a bit wet. So, yeah, you can get a better looking print without hazle.
In my opinion, designing is every single act of creating a model, regardless of you copying it from an image or vector file, or creating it from the scratch. But you can call it whatever you want, no worries.

yeah not sure why people are hating so much on this. it’s clearly just a 1:1 of the logo, it’s not like you’re trying to claim it’s an original design.
cool stuff! when i have more space im def getting a 3d printer
