Re: Logo questions...
Personally, I'd go the silkscreening route. You can find a silk screening kit at most craft stores and they usually come with step by step instructions. You can also make a stencil and airbrush the logo onto your suit. There are some who use those adhesive backed foamies that you find at craft stores. They just stick it on the suit and then sew around the edges. That would accomplish a more 3D effect so it all depends on what look you're going for.

Re: Logo questions...
Thanks, I think the airbrush is the way I would go. I read an article in Wizard a few years ago by Alex Ross who used an airbrush to logo up his costume for War on Crime

Re: Logo questions...
I went the airbrush route for my Gotham By Gaslight costume. I placed a piece of cardboard inside the shirt to give me aflat surface and cut a stencil from heavy cardstock and sprayed the back of the stencil with adhesive. Allow the adhesive to get tacky, almost dry before applying it to the shirt. This way you won't have adhesive residue left behind on the shirt's fabric.
Press the edges down and airbrush.Here's a pic of the finished shirt.

Re: Logo questions...
Chris...I used to do airbrush shirts. We always used either pro airbrush paint designed for fabric, or acrylic paint with a setting additive.

Re: Logo questions...
I went ahead and bought a screen printing kit on a whim so we will see how it turns out. I will post pics when it is all said and done. I am going the black and grey route after having purchased the rubies costume belt at a convention. I am using the clooney mask the rest is all combat boots and motorcycle gloves. I am trying to go for a "Dead End" look.
