I certainly would enjoy that. Judging from the other responses, everyone
likes the idea of the alternate logo, and there are no objections to be seen.

If rushing to get the logo means lower quality, I'd just as soon wait.
There will be other shows.

Sorry I am not certain how to address Questions 3 or 5. Question 4 is
kinda touched on in my next answer....

Hmm. Well, I do believe the resolution will be limited based on how the
image is created. However, I do recall once (when working for an
engineering firm in Boston) when I borrowed a letterhead for the Big Dig and
some sticky-back transparency sheets. I brought them to the copy machine,
loaded the stick-back in, used the reduction-size feature on the copier, and
outputted a tiny Central Artery Tunnel logo, black with clear background.
(I may have had to reduce more than once.) It was small enough to fit on a
1X1 brick, and still legible! ...I applied them to the sides of the
Backhoe/Tractor that came with the red flat-bed (4543). The engineers all
wanted to buy it from me... Uh, my point is that shrinking things down by
photocopy might have different results than trying to reduce size digitally.
And that sticky-back transparent stuff is likely available at office supply
stores... ...Doing it in white would only require an inverse (negative) to
photo-copy. (Although in no way am I saying this is the best solution, just
putting it out there.)
Just my 2 cents...
