Multiple gobos on the wheel. But instead of breakups like the attached picture there would be text. For example one says “Welcome!”

That makes sense, though that wasn’t brought up as the issue. The fabricator stated that as the wheel spins inside the fixture the text wouldn’t be the same every time we called up the gobo. Which is where I get confused. You have a round plate with “holes” punched out creating an image/text...
