James Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 Does anyone know of a source for a gobo showing the Girl Guiding UK logo, either the trefoil design or the whole logo. This is a last minuite thought for a gang show this weekend. I've looked through my copies of the DHA and Apolo catalouges without success To be honest I was a little suprised not to see anything as I would have though more people would have wanted to use something like this.

Nicktaylor Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 Have you access to the Selecon Pacific, then print the logo onto a gobo sized OHP plastic. This should work fine. I gather Source 4s can be used as well Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landy Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 Talk to DHA and have one made custom. If there no rush it is not as expensive as you would expect. :blink: This is a last minuite thought for a gang show this weekendAh, how much do they want it? :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted February 7, 2006 Author Share Posted February 7, 2006 This isn't essential for the show, This is a case of "It would be nice if..." I'm totaly OK if this doesn't happen, I wouldn't be OK if it could happen easily and I didn't try. For the record I'm only interested in trying to source a simple size B metal gobo for a 1K sil. That is the only lantern available. James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelite Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 Hi James, I apologize for the lack of the Girl Guiding artwork within the Apollo gobo catalog. Not being familiar with the artwork myself, is this some type of organization's design or perhaps 'folk art'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruce Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 It's the logo for "girlguiding UK" - http://www.girlguiding.org.uk - which is part ofWAGGGS (World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts), a worldwide movement of 10 million girls, young women and Leaders in 145 countries. I'm sure I'll get some flack for this, but it's a sort of girly version of the Scouts :( Going slightly :blink:, I play in a ceilidh band. We were booked to play at the last night of an international girlguiding camp last summer. Didn't think it would be a particularly good night - we usually need a good mix of male and female, and the audience here was an international mix of several hundred 12-16-year-old girls. In a tent. Who had been sleeping in a field for a week. Who wouldn't know any of the dances.... But it was probably the best gig I have ever played. The energy and enthusiasm was incredible. We were booked to play until 10.30 - we eventually left around midnight - it was a pleasure to play there.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have two daughters in that age range. it's unreal how much energy the little boogers have at 10:30 at night- yikes!! Yes, the Girl Scouts are a great organization- my wife is a troop leader. I am certain the image posted in the first thread belongs to the organization, and any company reproducing it for money (t-shirts, banners, hats, gobos) would more than likely get swiped by a lawyer in the future. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mac.calder Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 That does not prevent you from just using a three leafed clover. It is close to the logo, but extreamly generic... ie you can use it on st. patrics day too for your st patrics disco or whatever.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted February 8, 2006 Author Share Posted February 8, 2006 Kelite, thanks for the response. To be honest I hadn't considered the copyright of the image. Partly I had assumed with the number of gang shows that happen in the UK within the Souting and Guiding communities there might be a chance of the gobos appearing commercialy . Doing a tiny amount of research on the subject, The Guide's website specificaly excludes the image I linked to as well as others from their global copyright policy. The Scout website has an "interesting" article on "Lighting for Scout Gang Shows" where in "Other Considerations" it sugestsGobos patterned transparencies for special effects eg Fleur-de-Lys. The Fleur-de-Lys is the scouting logo I think given the short notice of this event I'll be better to keep this simple and consider getting some made up for next time - if there is one! Thanks all James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James S Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 Do you have a computer LCD projector available? - put the logo on a powerpoint and connect to a laptop or something. For Source 4 Pros, you can use the rosco imagepro that fans an accetate (printed from the computer) to stop it melting. Don't know if this fits any other lanterns.

Al Cain Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 Which is somewhat irrelavant, as However, he was only trying to help, which as many other people in the post have already agreed, this is gong to be the quickest way, if he hires and Image pro and (I found that for best reults!) a source 4 pro not or a selecon pacific. Not another lantern. Not even a Brio! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stutwo Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 Hi-Lights in Gateshead have one of these, custom made by DHA I think. It's used at least once a year in the Newcastle Gang Show. They have the Scouts and the Guides gobos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
