As dusk settles over Chicago’s Magnificent Mile, a 20-foot rotating projection of a artisanal coffee brand’s logo—paired with a steaming mug graphic—glows across the sidewalk outside Bean There, Brew That. Passersby step into the light to snap photos, then wander into the café for lattes. “Three months ago, our storefront blended into the crowd after 6 PM,” says owner Lena Marquez. “Now 57% of our evening customers say they followed the floor projection.” The tool behind this transformation? Noparde’s gobo projector custom logo—a solution that’s redefining outdoor advertising for small businesses worldwide.
The Nighttime Visibility Gap: Why Floors Are the New Billboards
For retailers and restaurants, evening foot traffic drives 40% of revenue—but static signs often fade into city glow. A 2025 Retail Advertising Report found that outdoor advertising projector displays (especially floor projections) capture 3x more attention than window decals, as they invite interaction (think: customers standing in the logo to take photos).
Yet many businesses hit a wall: cheap projectors produce blurry images, and custom gobo creation feels intimidating. “I spent weeks wondering how to make a gobo for our coffee logo—until I found Noparde,” Marquez says. As a projector manufacturer offering direct sales and end-to-end custom support, Noparde solves both pain points.
Noparde’s Custom Logo Gobo Projector: Built for Nighttime Impact
Marquez ordered Noparde’s HD rotating outdoor advertising projector in September 2025, opting for a custom glass gobo of her brand’s logo. Here’s how it delivered for her café— and why it’s a game-changer for businesses globally:
1. HD Rotating Projections: Turn Floors Into Interactive Billboards
Noparde’s 150W projector casts a projector logo on floor with 1080p clarity, even under Chicago’s streetlights. The rotating function cycles between the coffee mug graphic, brand name, and “Free Pastry With Latte” promotion—no manual adjustments needed. “People stop to watch the rotation,” Marquez explains. “A group of office workers posted a Reel of themselves dancing in the logo, and it got 40k views—driving 60+ new customers in a day.”
The projector’s wide throw (up to 25 feet) fits sidewalks, patio spaces, or store entrances—perfect for both small cafes and large retail chains. For a boutique clothing store in Miami, Noparde’s projector turns a 10-foot entryway floor into a rotating display of its signature dress logo, drawing beachgoers off the boardwalk.
2. How to Make a Gobo: Noparde’s Hassle-Free Custom Process
One of the biggest barriers to custom gobo use is the creation process—but Noparde simplifies how to make a gobo into 3 easy steps:
Upload Your Art: Send a high-res logo (PNG, SVG, or PDF) via Noparde’s Shopify store.
Review a Digital Proof: The design team shares a mockup of your gobo projection within 24 hours (adjusting colors or sizing for optimal visibility).
Receive Your Pre-Calibrated Gobo: The custom glass gobo arrives pre-fitted to your projector—no technical skills required.
“I thought making a gobo would involve hiring a designer,” Marquez says. “Noparde’s team tweaked my logo’s contrast for floor visibility, and the proof looked exactly like the final projection. It was seamless.” For seasonal campaigns (like Christmas trees or Halloween graphics), Noparde offers reusable gobo discs—swap them in 60 seconds to update your display.
3. Manufacturer Direct Value: Durability + Speed
As a projector manufacturer, Noparde cuts out middlemen—saving businesses 35-40% compared to retail distributors. For Marquez, that meant paying $$299 for her projector + custom gobo (vs.$$480 from a local Chicago supplier).
But it’s not just cost: Noparde’s projectors are built for outdoor use. The IP67 waterproof rating handles Chicago’s rain, Miami’s humidity, and Denver’s snow—unlike budget projectors that short out after one storm. “We left the projector outside during a November downpour,” Marquez says. “It stayed lit the entire time, no damage.”
Quick delivery (3-5 days to U.S. addresses, 5-7 days to EU/Asia) ensures businesses hit seasonal deadlines. A holiday market in Toronto ordered 5 Noparde projectors + Christmas-themed gobos on November 15—and had them set up in time for Black Friday foot traffic.
Real-World Results: Businesses That Glow After Dark
The impact of Noparde’s gobo projector custom logo is measurable across industries:
Bean There, Brew That (Chicago): Evening sales up 42%; social media tags featuring the floor projection up 78%.
Sunset Threads (Miami): Patio foot traffic up 50%; customers spend 20% more time in-store (lingering to view the rotating logo).
Maple Leaf Market (Toronto): Holiday booth sales up 38%; 20% of shoppers cite the floor projections as their reason for visiting.
Why Noparde Leads in Custom Gobo Projection

From simplifying how to make a gobo to delivering durable, high-impact projections, Noparde’s manufacturer-direct model puts custom outdoor advertising within reach of small businesses.
“Our floor projection isn’t just a sign—it’s a way to connect with customers,” Marquez says, watching a family pose for a photo in the glowing coffee logo. “Before Noparde, we were invisible after dark. Now we’re the reason people stop. That’s the difference a great projector makes.”
