You can generate that logo by entering this 3D wood effect design app and setting up the parameters this way:

Extra tips:

- I have reconfigured the shadow parameters to improve the 3D appearance. Remember that if you choose a dark background color, the shadows can become invisible;
- if you don't like this rustic wood style, you can choose other wood effect maker by clicking "Wooden Text Effects" at the page top;
- design the best graphic text effects with ease by using these high quality text logo generator apps.
