recessed


Explanation:
This is a possibility.

"These two designs have been used from time to time. That on the left is a simple recessed lettering style while that on the right followed the popularity of three-dimensional glass-type designs and incorporates a reflection of me in an effort to make it appear more realistic."
http://www.catnaps.org/graphics/logos.html

"Raised or recessed lettering is often the same color as the background, providing no contrast, and making it difficult for low vision users to perceive the lettering."

Carve Tab--Carve enables you to sink an edged image into a background color or texture, or into an image for a recessed type of look. You can control the illusion of depth by altering the surface qualities, lighting, and shadow of the edge and image independently. Changes can be made to the direction of the carve; you can reverse the effect and taper the edges.

"Wonder how we got the EyeWire logo on the aspirin? We didn't get special EyeWire tablets manufactured. Instead, we used a recessed type technique to make the image appear engraved into the surface."

  -> Don't agree with you there, Nicole; I have heard it used in this way, but re-set may be preferred by the Asker here./So what? I spent years commissioning graphic designers and have lectured on graphic design, but is there any need to pull rank?!
