Holiday-themed gobo images spread holiday spirit in corporate, retail, or public settings with little fuss. To get the most out of your gobos, however, it’s important to choose the right type of gobo for each situation. There are pros and cons to both metal and glass gobos so we’ve put together a short guide to help you make the right decision this holiday season.
Glass Holiday Gobos
Glass gobos allow you to illuminate your space in bold washes of color or with complex designs in red, green, and any other holiday hue. Glass allows you to achieve a higher level of detail and is best for more complex designs, such as an intricate Christmas tree or more intricate cursive lettering. Try incorporating your company logo into the holiday theme or project a holiday message like ‘Peace on Earth’ or ‘Tidings of Joy’ in full color. The downside to glass gobos is they do come at a higher price point but the quality is hard to beat.
Metal Holiday Gobos
Holiday metal gobos offer convenience and lower prices so you can purchase a variety of images to switch between. Metal gobos only come in black in white, although you can add a color filter for a single color image.
Investing in a mix of metal and glass gobos offers the most flexibility for your decorating needs. We suggest investing in glass gobos for custom images like logos or messages with cursive text as well as any full-color projections. You can then add to your decor with a range of stock metal holiday gobos at a lower price point.
