Lightbox Logo

This project is an example of how you can use digital fabrication machinery to create tridimensional communicative artifacts. It consists in a small-scale back-light logo, that can easily be imagined as a shop sign.

The main structure is made by 3mm thick laser-cutted MDF wood. The front face works as a frame for a layer of opaque white acrylic on which I applied a black vinyl FAB+COM logo obtained with the sign-cutter.

The top face of the wood box contains all the necessary to light up the logo: a small circuit made by cropper film on which I soldered two blu LEDs then connected to a 3V battery.

Inside the box a white cardboard arch allows the light from the LED to be diffused, while the black vinyl serves as mask for the light in order to have only the logo to be bright.
