Ok so I was put in charge of making a sign to match this logo.
So I got some 2 inch styrofoam (polystyrene pink insulation) and cut out the shape of the horn. Mine is slightly different from the logo but I think mine looks better.
I sanded the edges with about 150 grit sandpaper until all of the rough edges were gone.
Then I sanded it again with 300 grit sandpaper and it came out really smooth.
I cut out a slightly curved piece to go between the horns. I wanted this to look like it was leather so I gave it some texture with some elmer's glue and paper towels.
Once that was done I painted it a light tan color. When that was dry I rubbed brown shoe polish over the entire thing. This made the texture really stand out.
I gorilla glued the horns to the middle section.
I cut and made the background also out of the 2 inch foam. I used a wire brush to make it look like wood. Like in this tutorial.
I painted the horns white and then, dry brushed some grey onto the tips. I painted the middle section's outside edges a darker brown and pushed some metal brads into the foam.
(like the ones used for holding paper together)
Here it is installed on top of two carpet tubes* painted to look like wood.
More Wild West stuff to come. Stay tuned.
*Carpet tubes can be found at places that sell carpet.
Most of the time they are happy to give them away.
