Hey Skip on those with your logo, the Trader Vic's logo and Lemonhart logo are you completely taking the white top apart and rewrapping or just making a hole in the new logo and slipping it over the top? On the lanterns what has been your success rate of removing the pick from the umbrella that slips on from the bottom? I was at a bar recently messing around with some and about every two out of three a portion of the pick broke off and remained in the top making it difficult to then slide on another umbrella to make a lantern.
