I'm working on a Gamegear TV modded console and In my concept art I used the gamegear logo on the case (bottom left):
It's just concept art, so the final mod might look a little different. For example I scrapped the embossed SEGA logo. Although it looks nice and I had an idea how to do it, I was just too eager in going on with the mod instead of waiting for the right materials and doing the needed testing.
But one thing I really want on my case is the logo. Best case scenario I want it 'Printed' or painted on the case. I do have a steady hand since I'm an artist, but the idea of just painting it on there with a brush is just too imperfect.
I really could use advice from other people's experience on what they tried and what looks most authentic. Don't be afraid to suggest things that I didn't want to do at first. It's my first mod so I have no experience what so ever and could be proven wrong!
Some more information about my mod;
Done so far:
Still to do:

Some more information about my mod;
Done so far:
- - Used a broken GG that didn't even start up
- Fixed it by replacing ALL caps, including the ones on the power board
- Removed the screen and turned the cart slot
- Added the TV out mod (originaly the DIY mod but afterwards replaced it with the superior boards sold by Tim Worthington)
- Added an original Genesis TV-out plug, complete with composite out, RGB out, mono and stereo audio.
- moved the power jack to the back
- Added 2 controller ports to the front.
- moded the case using; car putty, plastic strips(for sharp straight edges and sturdiness) and frankencased arcade button)
Still to do:
- - Some more case fiddling; filling holes, maybe change some of the curves
- Remove the original power button use the arcade button as power button; still need to make a circuit using a flipflop so I can turn it on/off with a push button.
- Mod SMS controllers and console for the start button.
- paint it =)
