So did they have to have them remade, or just hang the lights backwards and bounce them off a mirror? Beam Bender comes to mind.
All that will "eventually" happen by flipping a dichro backwards is the dicro will "eventually" burn through, technically the "ink" they etch through will become goo and melt. But with most moving lights the optical system stays cool enought for this not to happen, or just be sure to never touch the gobo till it fully cools. I would have flipped them around and gone with it that way. Who cares if the litho finally did self destruct (yet i have not seen this happen yet, i have seen color filters burn through when installed backwards), they were wrong anyways.and personally with a gobo that simple i would have tried pulling it off with metal.
Remember this was the Broadway premiere and set a record for highest ticket price ever. And possible largest advance? Also remember that the show has been running for what, five years now? And Pre-Production IA labor is different than Show Maintenance labor.
Kelite, did Apollo make those gobos? I'm guessing not, as I hope someone at Apollo would have caught an error like that.

Untrue.
The first and only time I installed a dicro backwards it cracked within 3 minutes of being turned on and the gobo being brought into the focal path.
Also...I'm talking about the Broadway production, I'm pretty sure Peter Kaczorowski can get new ones pretty quickly. Also I believe there was color to them and that they weren't just the symbol. That being said I'd still go dicro.

Well, not to interrupt the fascinating discussion of Nazi symbolism..but I thought i'd steer this thread back to its initial topic with some pics from my most recent show. The show was The Music Man and I acted as the Lighting Designer/Op. Questions/Comments/Concerns/Dilemmas/General Musings are always welcome.

My Current production of Charlotte's Web. Set budget $400. Build it on campus and transport to the big proscenium theater down the street (they have an 8' high set of double doors to load in through). 5 hours to load in, adjust lights, record cues, and be ready for a dress rehearsal. I had a crew of 2 skilled people and their resident lighting designer to help me. A recipe for disaster that turned out pretty good.
We hung a white scrim about 10 feet in front of the cyc. Hung a group of three S4's with Seachangers fireworks gobos on each side of the stage. Recorded a flashing chase and changed colors on the Seachangers so the fireworks were always changing color and patterns. This scene has blue on the cyc and a small amount of red and amber on the scrim along with the S4's and Seachangers. The web was just 1/2" rope spray painted black with some heavy wire hooks hidden in it. The Words are thin wire bent to shape, 1/4" rope for thickness, and Red Electrical Tape. Tied it all together with a piece of really heavy wire a cross the top and black E-tape between letters where we didn't want the audience to see.
The bored and the stalkers among you can see the whole album of photos here.

A famous comedian. Boring show, no moving lights. Seating for "only" 6,000. Expression3 as control, but I did have ColorBlast12s as truss toners.
The LED screens are strictly for Imag. After extolling the virtues of cues, ran the show on four submasters: "Doors," "Show", "EFX (truss toner chase), and "Bows."
Here's the rendering, unlit:

The Last Days of Judas Iscariot at Portland Community College.
I drafted/built the haphazard fence to the left. The one with Graffiti. That was fun - especially hte part where we ripped apart shipping palettes to get the boards.
I'm the shorty to the right (stage left) of the girl in the braids.
AND I totally did not realize that this was in the lighting forum! Sorry guys. I did not light this. Maybe I'll post again when I get the photos from my dance performance.
