Lightbulb Imaged Paddle Invention !!!!!

I am somewhat of a inventor of sorts. At one moment during my pledging process I was suggested to decorate my paddle. During which I was able able to create a Photoshop Image and Fuse it with my paddle as one. Now this wasn't a sticker, it actually binds itself to the wood but the material was too delicate back then. Since then it has peeled in some areas.

I have since then improved the process of creation. The images placed on the paddle today are much are Brighter, Crisper and More Durable. I am considering offering this paddle imagary as a paid service to the Greek community as a whole.

My questions just for exploratory purposes: Would you have been interested in purchasing for yourself or your littles an imaged paddle? You would still be customizing that image to whatever your liking is. Furthermore the service could offer ideas and help you with the design, if you wished.

Many fraternities don't make a huge deal about decorating paddles. I personally don't get the draw to a colorful/graphic paddle for guys. I always found them to look odd.

I think it would be sad if future generations didn't fully understand the joys and horrors of mod podge.

They make things like this for museums. The lettering just adheres to the wood and can be peeled off with a razor (or stay up for an obscenely long time).

Further if you wanted to be artsy about it, you could buy some Liquid Light, which essentially turns any surface into photography paper. Downsides: it is hard to work with, and requires a dark room.
