How can I project a logo onto a screen via a laptop?


Recommended Posts

Not sure whether it's all worth the hassle, but basically I want to project the attached logo onto a (white) screen via my laptop.


However I want the logo only, not menus etc, and also it has to be quite large on the screen or it will look ridiculous (it's to replace a backdrop which can't be used in the particular location in the room).


When I tried it full screen on my laptop it got distorted to an oval :(


Anyone got any ideas?


I've also got a psd version of it, but I'm not sure that's any help ....


I know how to connect the laptop to the projector, that's not the issue, it's getting a reasonable size logo onto the screen with no distortion and no other stuff appearing as well as the logo.....


I'm not too bothered if you can see the lines of the square around the edges ....

Sue from what I know you just stick the logo into somethinglike MS PowerPoint and size it as you need to.

Then display trough projector. Projector should have controls to adjust perspective (like a corrective lens on an architectural camera) giving you a 'true' logo representation or bending it if you choose to do so.

If you haven't got PowerPoint, use OpenOffice.org or Prezi.com or even just Google Presentation.


They will all allow you to create a blank slide, add the image into it, and then show the slide without surrounding stuff.


If the image is distorted that may be down to the angle between the projector and the wall. You should be able to adjust this using the 'keystone' corrections on the projector menu.

Sadly I found that what I thought was an HDMI socket (?) on my laptop wasn't. It's apparently an analogue equivalent to it. Whatever that means :))


So I couldn't use the projector anyway as they only had one lead for it, which needed an HDMI socket :(


Bloody hell, my laptop isn't THAT old !!!

Fox - this is a similar product:

As far as I can see, ed_pete's link won't help, because as with right-clicking's suggestion, it looks like just a cable and not a converter.


To reiterate, you don't just need a cable, you need a unit which can convert the analog VGA signal to a digital signal.

    • Re Day One, £52 for a short hair cut (cut & styling) and £72 for a long hair cut (cut & styling) which I believe is below the ears.  £38 for a blow dry which doesn’t appear to be included in the cut price as it’s not mentioned.  £15 for a fringe tidy.      I remember being startled to be charged separately for a blow dry by the salon that used to be in Melbourne Grove but is now closed down.  I was asked if I wanted a blow dry after the cut and highlights and said yes, but wasn’t told that I would be charged separately.  Only found out when I went to pay the bill.    Was offered a voucher on a further appointment.    De.Salon which used to be Cut-Throat in Peckham (Choumert Rd and Brixton) charge from £45 for a Short haircut that finishes by the ears.  They charge from £40 for any haircut that finishes below the jawline.  Their prices include a blow dry.  But if you have thick hair they charge an extra £15 for every additional 15 minutes for cutting.     I had my hair cut there before the name change.  I don’t understand the from part of the price. Had a look at the Blue Tit pricing which is very complicated. They charge depending on the stylist’s  experience.  Crab Salad in Peckham  -  short hair cut above the ear - from £69.    Long hair Cut below the ear from £80. Blow dry not mentioned as being included in the cut but is priced at £55 I noticed that Kuki charge different prices for men and women.  Doesn’t seem right if a woman has short hair and a man has long hair.   I used to go to a great salon in NW London  that charged the same price for men and women and stopped going when they upped their prices for women.
