Marcelo, there are many paths to get what you want done. Most begin with a good clean scan of the logo. From there it depends a lot on just what the logo is, i.e. is it a line drawing, or a complicated 3-d molded thing with loops and swirls.
For simple line drawing types I use BobCad w/BobArt, (because that is what I have). BobArt imports the scanned image and can create embossing and tool paths that are send to the cad side for further processing.
If this is a one time thing, make a scan of the logo and post it in the BobCad section. Many of the people there will take the scan and convert to a dxf and/or g-code file.

p.s. there are several other programs to convert images to some kind of cad or g-code.
