What’s a Gobo?
A gobo is a patterned template crafted from durable materials like Custom Metal Stencils or heat-resistant Glass and Steel Gobos. Placed within a gobo holder in a focusing lantern, it transforms ordinary spaces by projecting captivating images onto surfaces. Think of it as a professional tool to project your logo, specially designed to withstand the intense heat of modern Gobo Projectors used in Toronto, Vancouver, and Montreal.
Initially designed for theatre and television, gobos have evolved to become a staple in entertainment, corporate brand activations, Architectural Lighting marvels, and retail settings across Canada.

The Origin of The Term 'GOBO'
Some say it's a condensed form of 'go-between', symbolizing its placement between the lamp and lens of a projecting lantern. Alternatively, it's suggested to stand for 'Graphic Optical Black Out', a nod to its shadow-creating capabilities in early TV lighting and professional Gobo Design.
In the U.S.A. and Canada, these tools were even known as 'Flags' or early Custom Metal Stencils. And who knew? Gobo is not just a lighting marvel used to project your logo with Gobo Projectors; it’s also the lead character from Fraggle Rock and a vegetable root also known as Burdock. Whether you are looking for history or high-resolution Glass and Steel Gobos, Goboland provides the best craftsmanship across North America.
