How can I create a unique projection of my company logo on light shades?

AI Thread Summary
To create a unique projection of a company logo on light shades, the design involves 3D printing shades that project the logo onto surrounding surfaces without displaying it directly on the shades themselves. The challenge lies in determining the correct shapes and angles to achieve the desired projection effect. Suggestions include using mathematical modeling or software to calculate the necessary angles for light projection. Additionally, 3D printing small prisms to bend light rays or using multiple lamps with strategically placed holes to project parts of the logo are potential solutions. Effective design will require experimentation and possibly collaboration with experts in optics or projection techniques.

I've been tasked with designing light shades for my companies new building. The current goal is to 3D print them, and include the company logo/name on them. The lights are for design purposes only, and aren't being used to illuminate the room. The hard part is, I want the logo/name clearly projected onto the surfaces around it, but for the light shade to not show the logo/name directly (eg work out the shapes/angles to make the projection work). I don't know what this method is called, but I've seen it done before (not for lights but for art pieces).

If anyone has any suggestions on how to do this, whether it be software, mathematical modelling examples, or a more relevant forum to post this in that'd be great thanks

Can you 3D print little prisms that bend a light ray by a specified angle?
 
Perhaps have several lamps each with a hole that projects part of the logo.

Thread 'I need a concave mirror with a focal length length of 150 feet'

I need to cut down a 3 year old dead tree from top down so tree causes no damage with small pieces falling. I need a mirror with a focal length of 150 ft. 12" diameter to 36" diameter will work good but I can't think of any easy way to build it. Nothing like this for sale on Ebay. I have a 30" Fresnel lens that I use to burn stumps it works great. Tree service wants $2000.

Thread 'Questions about the Tesla turbine'

Hi all, i have some questions about the tesla turbine: is a tesla turbine more efficient than a steam engine or a stirling engine ? about the discs of the tesla turbine warping because of the high speed rotations; does running the engine on a lower speed solve that or will the discs warp anyway after time ? what is the difference in efficiency between the tesla turbine running at high speed and running it at a lower speed ( as fast as possible but low enough to not warp de discs) and: i...
