    can you use the Img tags above and post it from your website or flickr or somewhere like that?

    No – you’ll get hauled over hot coals for posting an image in from photobucket etc on here! 😮

    I think you have to pay to be in the UKSG club & then you can post images on here using the forum software.

    wrong… if you are trying to post in a forum that doesn’t have the facility to upload, you just post it in a forum that lets you upload images. i.e. "Off Topics" which is open to everyone.
    if the thread needs to be move, just mention it in the post. (mods please move) or whatever…

    The point is, we do not want off site linking. this results in dudd posts with broken images and the place just becomes a mess for those browsing the site at a later date.

    i will move this thread to off topics.
    attach the pictures you need by editing the initial post.

    nope
    there is no facility even for uksg members club.
    stick it in the off topic with a link from here George
    one of the mods will then maybe post it up here

    I’d have the 2 ‘V’s’ and the 2 ‘voice’ words routered out of one piece and apply a paint effect….then have the ‘2’ and ‘Just Imagine’ on long standoffs?

    how about an 8mm or 10mm silicon acrylic panel on stand off locators

    back layer – 2 "v"s and the shadow of the "2" – reverse cut and applied vinyl to the rear of the acrylic panel.
    middle layer – 2 x "voice" "ltd" "just imagine" – cut and applied vinyls to the face of the acrylic panel
    front layer – built up numeral "2" on studs flush mounted on acrylic by threaded rod through acrylic nut up behind hidden by shadow

    mmm similar to John’s suggestion.

    Vinyl for the V’s, shadow of the 2 and possibly the ‘ltd’

    Flat cut lettering vhb’d straight to bg for the’voice
    & voice’ + just imagine + ltd (if large enough)

    Large ‘2’ flat cut and stood off with locators

    Good luck
