Instructions:

Ok below you will see the two logos. These are already sized to fit the stages & each logo has the same amount of lights as the real logos. Just right click & select Save as. Then save to your desktop. Now open Paintshop Pro & open the logos up. Click file, click page setup & make sure (Fit to page) is NOT checked. Now load a piece of Photo paper in your printer & then click file, print. Go to where you can select your type of paper & select the type of photo paper you are using. Now just print it. Let the ink dry before you cut the logos out! Now you will need a piece of plexiglass 1/8" will do. Cut the plexiglass the same size as the logo then file your edges until all are square (don't worry if it's slightly smaller then the logo it will be better if it is. I will explain later). Now sand the plexiglass with fine sandpaper & make sure their are no shiny spots. Now wash & dry the plexiglass. Now use some contact cement to glue the photo paper logo to the plexiglass & let dry. Now that it's dry I will explain why you didn't need to worry about making the plexiglass alittle smaller. You will notice that you have a slight over hang of paper now that's it's glued to your plexiglass take a NEW razor blade & trim the paper around the plexiglass so it is the same size as the plexiglass. Now I recommend to get some lamination paper & place it over the logo to protect your ink. Just trim the lamination paper around the plexiglass again to get a good trim. Now your going to need some small hooks & fishing string. Tie the fishing string to the hooks & hot glue some fishing string to each side of the plexiglass making sure you make each side the same height. Now hang it from the stage scaffolding & enjoy your new logo. If you wanted to you can drill each hole in the logos & insert lights & wire them in series & power them by a battery. Also if you don't want to use fishing string you can machine pieces to hang from the scaffolding & connect to the logo but you will need some machines & the machinist know how which will be too involed & there is not enough time to explain it. To see examples go to Gallery 4 & look at the pictures. If you like the dragon prop in the pictures I used the dragon staff from the older Mcfarlane figures. I just painted the snake silver & rubbed some black paint over the silver & wiped it off & let it dry. I cut the tongue out of a Jiff peanut butter top & bent it to form the shape. I drilled a hole the width of the tongue & hot glue it in. I then machined the base out of 2 1/2" stainless steel & drilled a hole right next to the center hole where the staff gets inserted into the base. I then cut a piece of 1/8" stainless & press fitted it in that hole. I bent it so it would hold the staff from falling.
