Is it really? I understand that the actual lut file is a 3d lut but isn't the colour operation 'just' a curve adjustment? In Nuke there is no problem to use a Colorspace node to convert between logC and rec709, and as far as I know that node only handles 1d luts. So, if you just want to convert your logo into logC color space, that shouldn't be a problem, and it will match with the rest of the footage. But I might be misunderstanding what you want to do.

It's a 3D LUT Simon. If I try to reverse it on the Arri site, it gives me a 1D LUT. But I haven't figured out how to utilize the 1D properly. It gives a LUT for each ISO I think.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the color operation done with a logC to rec709 a 1D lut?

Any visible color, as in the entire gamut of the human eye?  We're a long way off from that, I'm afraid.  Projectors are still making images by shining red, green, and blue light up there, so that's a major constraint.  But you'd think they'd be able show everything we can see on a computer monitor at least.  Maybe they can.

Ironically, part of the forthcoming IIC/ACES standard is the "Reference Rendering Transform", which is like a standardized film look.  And like other film looks, you can't get fully-saturated colors.  Similarly, I worked on the most recent "A Christmas Carol" which is a completely digital film (including projection), and yet we still created a film look for it.  Somebody thinks that people still like that film look.  But I assume with digital projection you can opt out if you want.
