I'm working on an art piece and would appreciate some advice from you light experts. I would like to project a simple one-color logo (red) about 25ft from a small, wearable device. I would like the projection to be about 2-3 ft in diameter and visible in a lit, interior space. I've seen the cool under-car door logos produced with LED's, and while I love the light/properties of LED projections, I'm not sure it would be bright enough to be seen in a lit space and projected over 20+ft. So, would you recommend LED or laser? Any advice on creating a logo-lens? I do have access to a maker space and my priorities for this project:
1. safe
2. low energy requirements, near constant use for at least 4-5hrs, and perhaps rechargeable battery option
3. visible in space that has typical/commercial interior lighting

4. small/flat/easily wearable device with simple on/off switch
If you have suggestions on products that would help me complete this project, I would really appreciate it.
Thank you so much for your help!
