best way to paint/glue a college logo on wood?

(1/2) > >>

hulkster:
i'm making a toy box for my son, and I'm a big Kentucky fan so i want a UK logo to go on the outside.  its just a standard box made out of sanded plywood.  im going to paint the box blue, but for the logo i have two options:

1.  paint one on - but i need a stencil or some way of getting the logo on there so i can paint it.

2.  buying a vinyl logo or adhesive logo - dont know how much these cost but of course it would be much easier. 

thoughts?  here's what i want the logo to look like:

I would recommend getting an adhesive logo.  Once attached, apply about 500 coats of clear coat poly on it.  500 may be excessive, but after enough layers it will look pretty spiffy. :cheers:

Not exactly what you asked, but a tip that you (and others) may find handy if you didn't already know it:

When making a box with a lid, make the box in one piece - then cut the lid part off.  You're guaranteed the top matches the bottom.

why do you recommend all those coats of poly? 

and as for the top on the box....im not going to put a top on because heavy wooden top = smashed little fingers  :cry:
