Gobos - the difference between glass and metal

When you hire us to project your monogram on the dance floor, wall, etc., you have two choices - you can do a glass gobo, which is a little bit more expensive, or you could go with the standard, less expensive, metal gobo.



Most of the time, a metal gobo will work. However, if your monogram has any of the following characteristics, a glass gobo may be necessary:
-It has color in it
-It is very detailed
-It has a lot of design to it
-Or it has a lot of wording or letters




When you submit your monogram to us, our project manager Michael will be able to tell you what the best option is for you.





And just as an FYI, “gobo,” is short for go between. The “gobo” is the piece of metal or glass that goes between the bulb and the lens.
