Pen for charity, advice needed

I was asked by the charity SUDEP (Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy), if it would be possible to make a slimline pen using the pic below, I have never used the Pen Blank Resin Kit and was wondering if anyone could give me some advice.
I would like the logo on the bottom half of the pen and purple at the top, as this is the colour for Epilepsy.
They would like to auction it at one of their fundraising events.

This is also a charity that is very close to my heart, as a friends daughter died from Epilepsy earlier this year.

Thank you
David

What Penkit are you planning to use?

There are a few options you can use.
1. Cast the Label on to the tube in Clear Resin
2. Stick the printed label to the tube and then insert this into a clear hollow tube as 'Grumps' did for me.

Waterslide decals are easy and can go on wood or plastic. You can get them with a clear background or a white background.

Yes, you can put whatever you can print on it.

Rowdys idea is a good one - the 10mm tube Grump has fits nicely onto a cigar kit with a printed labs wrapped around the tube. Gives great 3D effect too! I have some tubing if you need.

So do I mate, good of you to offer but you should keep the little you have.
If you want to try it David PM me with your address and I will put some sample in the post to you, There'll be enough to make a few so something to play with in your experiments.
It fits nicely on these pens too.

Fits the one size kit too, shown here to see how simple it is.
Print you pic cut it to size and cut the tube to size wrap pic around brass and slide plastic over it.
Simples init?

If can source any of the old style Sierra's it fits those with ease But I have struggled to find any and the new ones are slightly larger but you may just squeeze it on with a bit of heat.
