Someone a while back made up some "boat type" plaques out of laminated
plastic - I thought this was a pretty neat idea, but I don't remember who it
was that did it.   These are the little badges that you see labeling
everything on boats - they are made by sandwiching white plastic under
colored plastic, then cutting a design into the top layer so that the white
shows through.

I was thinking about this myself last weekend, since my LED panel is also
starting to lose its paint...
