LOGO PROJECTION.

Logo projection can be achieved in several different ways, by projecting through  a 35mm slide or photographic film, by projecting through a "gobo" or by projecting via a multimedia projector. All three methods have their advantages and disadvantages:

Slide Projection enables you to project literally anything that can be captured on a transparency and so allows complete pictures to be captured and projected easily. Unfortunately because it is very easy to burn or bleach the film, the lamp used in these projectors is usually quite weak and consequently produces rather a dull image which struggles to be seen in anything but a relatively dark environment.

Gobo Projection. A "gobo" is simply a thin piece of metal with a message or logo etched out of it through which the light can pass. Because there is no film used, the gobo is extremely tough and can be used with very high output lamps. The disadvantages are that the smaller the detail on the gobo the less light that can get through the holes and consequently the duller the image. Also because you are basically creating a "hole" in a piece of metal, small bridge pieces have to be included in the gobo design; for example to stop the centre falling out of the letter "O". These create a "stencil" type image.

Multimedia Projection or "big screen projection", as it is sometimes called, can reproduce static and moving images onto any suitable surface. Most commonly used for "home cinema" entertainment or linked to a computer, the multimedia projector can reproduce virtually anything from a DVD or VHS recording to a "Power Point" presentation or satellite television. The disadvantages are the relatively short life of the lamp, which usually costs several hundred pounds to replace and the projectors lack of resistance to contamination which reduces the image quality (The most common contaminant being tobacco smoke).

By far the most common and successful method is with the use of "gobos". Gobo projectors are relatively inexpensive, use lamps with long life and cheap replacement costs and can produce large, bright images over large areas. Some of these projectors also accept "Glass Gobos" which are used to produce coloured images without the stencil type bridges.
