Blacken a logo on to a stainless steel cup

I have looked at the etch-o-matic but don't know if this would suit a curved surface and a large logo (10cm x 10cm). Can anyone suggest any products/solutions/processes that would allow me to put the logo on the cup (SS304)at home? Thanks

Just paint it with 20 % shellac solution(200 gm shellac dissolved in pure alcohol),then,when dry,heat it to 400 C(slow!).All other solutions are much more complicated(you can etch it and then colour it,silkscreen printing is usable too,You can protect some areas with wax or any removable paint and the colour it chemically,and so on...).
Hope it helps and good luck and happy new year!
