Hi I have a graphic I need to extract from a sphere and want to create a blank. The graphic is a band with company logo that wraps around the top half of the sphere. Any ideas on how to get this done? Running 64 bit NX 6.0 in windows 7.

So how do you bring the company logo into NX? Is it curves?
 
If you've ever seen how they make a Replogle Globe that might give you some hints:

I projected a wrapped image created with curves to get the lines. But I would like a flat of this part. The logo wouldn't got to the bottom of the sphere but it does have some stretch on the image. Yes curves.
