Soccer Logos

How it was done

I bought a couple colors (red, yellow, blue, white, black, purple) and mixed the rest.

The whole process:

- Cut 7 sheets of thick plywood (to prevent warping) in half to make 14 squares (13 MIAC schools with an extra St. Olaf logo). Rounded with a band saw.

- Sanded edges and used wood putty to fill in cracks on edges.

- Used primer

- Using a projector, sketched the logo in pencil.

- Painted 3 coats of all colors (including white). [Just over 350 square feet]

- Screwed hooks on back so they can go up on the fence.

Overall, about 120 hours.

Finished Painted Logos

Using the logo from the MIAC website, I formatted it in Photoshop

Outlined, starting the yellow.

My office in the morning

Priming the plywood white.

The projected image was traced over in pencil

Painting edges. No tape was used. Some tight corners were done with a Q-tip.

Using a digital projector, I centered and sized the logos onto the plywood to be traced over

Finished product takes about 3 coats of each color
