Was looking for something to spend my tax refund on when I came across this. I’ve never seen a lighted logo mod before. Looks really cool in the dark images.

What do you guys think?

Ha! That’s neat. I would like to see something behind it that corrals the light into a rectangle with rounded edges. So the effect is more like the kiosk display light up sign/Nintendo logo.

Oh, good idea. That would be just perfect! I might have to try something like this…

Well the kiosk sign reference gave me a good idea 😉

I might have to do this while my displays get soldered..
