    From the way the red lettering is pulling up on the bottom, it looks like they might have used screen off old Dad’s chicken coop door.
    Weird.

    what size is it George, it is possible to adjust the lpi on a gerber to give large dots, but I think there is a limit.

    It’s rob, just googled their logo and it is a gradient sphere. Looks like the banner material is giving the illusion of spots.

    here are some better pics of the effect …as you see the bottom left corner is dark blue and the top looks white but its not its the same blue the effect of spaced halftone makes it look gradient filled
