Get the 3dfx logo tga image, then go to xnview - create a black and white map from it, then convert it back to RGBA image. Adjust contrast and gamma until you got a 0,0,0 - 255,255,255 pixel builded up image only.
Then load 3d studio max, make a cube with the maximal resolution (i think 100x100) then go to modifyers and select displacement. There give the b-and-w image, adjust until it will reach a noticable displacement. Then delete the far polygons, and press "optimise" at the modifyers (this will remove the high polygon number). Then clone the whole model, then mirror it. If you are finished, simply add the simple color bitmap as a texture.

And the 3d 3dfx logo modell is finished.

Thanks a lot 4 help :))

@modarator: I have a zip-file with original 3dfx-logos in JPG-, TIF-, GIF- and EPS-Format. There is also a logoguide document in this zip-file.
Is it okay if I publish the file here?

You can post a link to the file here as long as there's nothing illegal in the zip file.

Follow this link: 3dfx_logo_kit

and download the two logokit zip-files.

Thanks heaps for that :) Don't suppose you know of a similar pack that was made for the pre-STB logo, do you?
