Your Needs, Our Craft
A gobo is a precision stencil placed inside a projection fixture, turning light itself into your logo, monogram, or pattern. It's the most elegant form of branding an event can have: no vinyl, no banners, nothing to install on the venue's walls. Just light.
For corporate events we project logos onto dance floors, walls, building façades, and step-and-repeat areas. For weddings and mitzvahs, a custom monogram over the dance floor is the signature detail guests photograph all night. And pattern gobos like foliage, lattice, and texture turn blank walls and ceilings into designed surfaces.
Since 2017
From artwork to aimed light
Send us a vector of your logo or choose a monogram style, and we handle everything: gobo production, fixture selection, and focal placement. Fine detail, small text, and gradient marks each need the right hardware to project cleanly. This is exactly the kind of specialist knowledge you hire a dedicated lighting company for.
On site, we aim and focus each projection so it lands square and sharp, compensating for projection angle so your logo doesn't stretch or keystone across the floor.
Sponsors, remembered
For galas and fundraisers, projected sponsor logos are premium inventory you can sell: a rotating series of crisp, glowing marks is far more memorable than a printed banner near the restrooms. Several of our nonprofit clients fund their entire lighting budget this way.
Imagine walking into your venue and seeing exactly the room you pictured, only warmer, grander, and more alive.
That confidence is why planners, venues, and hosts across Southern California call Candlelight Designs, Inc., and why most of our work comes from referrals.
Gobo & Logo Projection: Questions We Hear Often
What file format do you need for our logo?
Vector artwork (AI, EPS, SVG, or high-resolution PDF) produces the crispest gobo. If all you have is a PNG or JPG, send it over. We'll tell you honestly how it will project and help you get it event-ready.
How far in advance do you need our artwork?
Two weeks is comfortable for custom gobo production; rush production is possible when the calendar demands it. Standard monogram styles for weddings and mitzvahs can move faster.
Can you project onto the outside of a building?
Yes. Exterior logo and pattern projection is one of our favorite corporate looks. Throw distance, surface color, and ambient light all affect the result, so share your venue and we'll assess it as part of your quote.
