CNC is only limited by our imagination.
i got it into a dxf file that i can import into mach3. but i cannot figure out how to set my starting point or zero. i usually like my xy zero to be center of the machine and my z zero is the top of my work piece. wha can i do from here?
ok i got it centered in rhino (xy). now when i import it into mach, it will engrave in the right spot. it just will not lift the tool when it moves from on part to another, so it is cuting a line from one part of the logo to the other. what do i do to set my tool depth, my work piece hieght and my safe z?
also how do increase the feed rate?

I think your best bet is to use LazyCam which is included with and part of Mach3. You will be able to set tool zero and depth of cut as well as safe Z etc from there.

The tabs at the bottom.

Transform it into CAD or CAM file first.
