Who's got a quick turnaround and best bang for the buck?

If you mean for a logo, I got an idea.
I was at a school once that had no money for such things, but I wanted one. So I went to the art teacher and found the best student she had (this girl was going to some fancy art college soon, absolute stud). I asked if she would be able to create a large replica of our logo on a large clear plastic tarp, which she did.
I cut it out, and initially used that, until I was smart enough to transfer it onto plywood (lot easier) and then cut that into two pieces. Now it was just line them up and trace the edges with spray paint, then fill them in afterwards.

If I remember correctly, we got 4 pieces of regular sized plywood (4x8), lined them up in a big rectangle, stapled the tarp logo over the middle, then traced it out over that. Once we had the logo out someone in our campus services cut it out for me, not sure how or what tools (skillsaw?) After that, it was just a matter of lining it up correctly. I actually used the tarp itself for a while, but that was a pain because I had to weight it down at every turn and every foot or so (I basically used all the 5lb and 10 lb weights in the weight room). |

I use graph paper. Lay out the field so each line on the paper is 1 yard. Then I put it over the image on an iPad and trace it onto the graph paper. I then go out to the field with stakes and string to lay it out. Very easy to do if you're doing a letter or something simple like a paw print.

Any time I stenciled things on the field I used stakes and strings. If you focus on geometric shapes it really is not that hard. Measure twice paint once.
If you have never done it, it may help to lock up something on paper or on a computer so you can understand what your dimensions are

Find an old school overhead projector and buy a durable tarp.
Hang tarp on the wall, back the projector up until you get your desired size. Trace with a magic marker and then cut it out.
When you get to the field, pull it tight and stake it using the grommets.
