GISHWHES 32 Billboard

Get your team name and GISHWHES on a billboard. Must include commercial looking graphics and must be at least 100 square feet on an actual, commercial billboard.

Originally I thought I had this prompt in the bag. There is a commercial billboard right on top of my store. I don't OWN it, but they lease the space from me, and I thought I could probably use it just long enough to get a picture, but my friend who owns a sign company gave me a hundred reasons (most of them to do with safety and cash) why it probably wouldn't work. He suggested I try someone with a digital billboard. Well duh!

I made a couple of calls, was put in touch with the fellow who is in charge of the University of Wpg sign and after not much sweet taking, he agreed to do it. I got him the specs and a file of our logo and he put it up! We actually ended up putting a disclaimer on this picture when we submitted it, because it looks so good we feared they'd think it was 'shopped.

I literally squeed when it came up! :D Then I grinned for about an hour.

Yay! I just hope we don't get docked points because this looks too awesome.
