High School Studio Sign

[mccoy178]

I am designing an outdoor type facade for our studio at the school. We built an 18' x 18' studio at the end of last school year and I think it is time to jazz it up some. I will include more pictures in the future. The general idea is to give the outside a movie theater appearance. I worked on a conceptual idea tonight and will continue to update as we go. I am using Aspire2.

Here are some progress pics. I have both sides glued up and started the VCarve of the indian today. It took about 8 hours to cut the 4' indian. I feel the speeds are too slow, but that's okay for this project. It can take its time. I wish I could draw in an autocad program proficiently to show my idea. Trying to get all of the layers correct while designing in Aspire is making my brain hurt.

You apparently don't have any of the "Politically Correct Logo Police" where you are! I just don't get it, if I were Native American, I'd be proud to have such a symbol of my heritage!

Nice work, looking forward to seeing the finished project too!

Here is one side complete. There was a total of five tool changes and around 9 hours of machine time. I am also including a picture of the 6' x 8' x 1/2" plexi I bought off of Craigslist for $50. It will be used for the lighting features that will come over the next few days. I am starting the otherside now, but I will have to finish some other projects I have promised first before I can get back to this. Still, I'm stoked with the progress!

BTW, here is a rough idea of what I'm going for here:
