That is a very good looking Case!!! Was thinking about doing something to mine. I received some cases yesterday and the mind just started wondering. Was thinking about something with LED's but now that you posted this my mind is wondering else where....


This is gonna get expensive!

Dont mean to be the rainy day, but the OP did mention it was not his logo.  Dont think transfering another persons logo for use would be all that wise.  It is a cool logo but it is in use with a company and they might take offense to that.  But you can always ask them to use it.

Hmm.. that's not even the one I used but it's a complete replica I used.  The one I used was on a realtor website.  Now that I look I find it used on lots of other sites also:

For that matter, the "DLA" Lynx logo is also used elsewhere:

http://www.worldbadminton.com/images/lynx_logo.jpg

Is the current Lynx logo an "orginal" work of art?

DM, LOL trademark it and use it  ;D.  Some of those linked above have a slight variation, which makes it a new logo in essence.  But your right a lot of them are using the same style.  Wonder if they bought it from Logo's R Us.


On a side note, with the vinyl (as I know the case engraving would probably be to expensive) are you able to do something with that and offer it to the community?  I wouldnt mind getting a vinyl sticker for the DMX box, Express, TX, and such.

Hmm for some reason the rest of what I posted on this message didnt take (or I was having some loss of thought).  Anyway I wanted to say on a side note, the engraving looks great and right as I saw it I thought of masking it off and painting the engraved part in like a red or something to make it stand out.

I've attached the Lynx logo I used on the engraving in this post.  I've also included the other "logos" that I made for the SSR4+DMX and the Lynx control boxes (1500s).  Most any sign shop can cut these for you without issue - it's pretty basic stuff.  Note that the logos are actual size, hence the differences - so as long as they are cut correctly, they should fit perfectly.

See this post for actual completed photos of the 1500 and SSR4 boxes:  http://diylightanimation.com/index.php?topic=2817.msg28636#msg28636

Robert - if there are issues about this logo, please feel free to remove it without question.



i am planing to cut mine on my own cutter a 34" unit http://www.uscutter.com/USCutter-MH-series-Vinyl-Cutter-_p_25.html (http://www.uscutter.com/USCutter-MH-series-Vinyl-Cutter-_p_25.html)

I highly recommend if you have an extra $500 (including some vinyl, transfer tape, etc) or so dollars and need something to purchase - get a vinyl cutter.  I find all kinds of uses for a cutter and I'm sure jsalz does.

i do use it a lot but i thoght i was the only werido that buys one and does not have any bizzness or anything lol

From dmoore's images I created a Bumper Sticker in Cafepress with the LE logo on it.
You have to cut the actual label it self out of the bumper sticker so you get just the part to go in the spot on the box.

http://www.cafepress.com/linuxtracker.498790834

Can someone with an LE Case purchase one and let me know if it works?

I'll reemburse you for the cost + shipping, I just don't have a case to try it out on.

Cafepress' quality is pretty good and if this works, I can make a 10 pack of stickers as well as ones for the dongle and other items.

Might be a cheaper way to go for getting something like this done (for those of us who don't want the hassle of finding a shop to do a small qty of vinyl...)

Post by: dlhoppe on December 30, 2010,
I ordered one. I have four cases coming. I'll let you know as soon as I have the sticker and the case together. Probably next week.

Ok, so I had to make the original image a little larger than I had it to fit. The box its on is my Cable TV box, which is the case recommended for the Lynx Expresses....

Here's a link to the single Pack, as well as the area where the 10 and 50 pack will be.

http://www.cafepress.com/linuxtracker.500121746 - Single Bumper Sticker

http://www.cafepress.com/linuxtracker/7604411 - Lynx items.

I've considered making versions of the bumper sticker with two ovals on it, one with the logo for the LE the other would have channel Numbers 0 - 16 and so on....

Have you considered making a sticker with a number of instances of the logo only (what we used to call five-up or six-up or whatever back when I was in high school print shop)?

Regardless, thanks for the work on this.

I have, it looks like I'll be able to get two up on a bumper sticker the way Cafepress does things....

Yes, I fiddled with Cafepress once long ago and its not an experience I remember fondly, which is why I'm letting you do this ;) ...
