Help! Emboss error on lofted surface, maybe I need to use a different tool?

I un-clicked Tangent Chain, still get an error. I think a simpler logo will need to be necessary.The plane I have created from using a line sketched from projected geo. I then made a plane at an angle to get it relatively tangent to the surface, does it need to be offset?Section analysis, wall is 2.5 thickI've usually had good success with debossing on surfaces but have never tried on a complex surface.

I have usually had good luck with debossing logos on different surfaces but this is the first time I have done it on a more complex lofted body. I created a plane at an angle using sketched line from projected geometry to get a plane relatively tangent, maybe I need to offset it from that plane? The logo is complex and I might dumb it down but I wanted to see if it is even possible to deboss this into the surface at all first. Also willing to concede that the emboss tool might not be the best use here, any tips to get this logo debossed about 0.5-1mm deep would be extremely helpful. Thanks!

Please attach your model. Make sure the text you want to emboss is in place. If you do not know how to attach your Fusion 360 model follow these easy steps. Open the model in Fusion 360, select the File menu, then Export and save as a F3D or F3Z file to your hard drive. Then use the Attachments section, of a forum post, to attach it.

Emboss doesn't work on compound curves. 'Surrogate emboss' (search term) may work for you.

Here is your file. I cut the text into the way by a value of .3mm, which you can change easily. I also broke the link to the external file so I could return it to you as a F3D file, it is attached.

You are awesome! Thank you I see you used surface offset.. Thank you for the help!
