What effect(s) are needed to make a dent on my logo after being hit by an object?

[Roland R. kahlenberg]

You can try messing with one of these – Liquify, Bezier Warp and Mesh Warp.

You don’t say whether your logo is 3D or not, so I’ll assume it’s not. In addition to what Roland has suggested, you might also want to create a secondary texture map (or just recolor if in 2D) which changes at the frame the asteroid hits your logo. Because, you know when an asteroid hits your logo you’re going to have to have your paint job repaired. Maybe some burn marks, or dust/debris. Depends on the scale of your logo, of course.

Liquify fx is sufficient. Thank you so much to you sir and others here. The fx didn’t cross my mind at all until you tell me. Oh yeah Mr Dave I also apply some dust to it upon impact from the asteroid and also put a free sound fx – explosion. thanks all
