My boss came up with an idea the other day. He would like to project "Welcome to" on the steel portion of this bridge. West facing location. Projector, pin spot w/ gobo? City wont allow a banner. Any ideas appreciated.View attachment 17259
I would use a Source 4 (usually more durable in an outside environment than a projector) and choose the beam angle based on where you can mount it. A LOT will depend on that. You want to try to get as on-axis as you can to avoid lateral keystoning. If you can get an LED Source 4, then you can more easily make your own gobo out of a transparency, and tweek any keystoning issues yourself.
How long is this hoped to be installed for? Do you have a location for equipment that is sheltered from weather or does this gear need to be outdoor rates? Does this need to be visible at all times or only when dark?
This looks like a desolate area will anyone even see this?
I would say maybe sway his opinion to some sort of banner that is close to but not on the bridge. Maybe from the front building to the back building on the right.

I'm guessing an led source 4 to keep the transparency from melting.
This will be a permanent install. Visible from late dusk to about 12am.
As long as it says ‘Welcome to Knuckleheads’Hi Ricky,
The Ovation E260-WW IP is designed for just this sort of application. Ask your local Dealer or Rep for a demo.
One note... any fixture this bright is not going to do well with a transparency gobo. It will melt. You will want to use a steel gobo.
Appollo 3303 is a standard (cheap) gobo which says "WELCOME", but I'm not aware of any standard gobo which says "Welcome To".
