How to cut a curvy part out of a mesh

Greetings, 

 i have modeled this 3D Logo and i would like to cut a curvy shape out of it, can you please help with that ?

if you see in the Side-X view the selected part should be cut away (Deleted) to look like in the Perspective view, it's not visible

Do it with a boolean.

Thank you for your reply sir, but, i know that Boolean or Multi-cut tool can help, but my question is, can it be done using a Curve line for example ? so i can draw it exactly as the shape is curved ??

Hi @mikhailkonstantin3d,

 

While you certainly could model the object to have an end with a curve that matches your shape, it might be easier to simply lift the related vertices or faces to hide them. Oftentimes, the best solution (and the least expensive in terms of polys) is the simplest!
