Visual image display and process for creating a unique visual image
First Claim
1. A visual image display, comprising:
- an at least partially translucent first substrate having front and back surfaces;
a first image disposed on the front surface of the first substrate;
a light source for illuminating the back surface of the first substrate; and
a second image disposed between the light source and the first image, the second image being visible on the front surface of the first substrate only when illuminated by the light source.

Abstract
A visual image display includes a first substrate having front and back surfaces. A first image is disposed on the front surface of the first substrate. The display also includes a light source for illuminating the back surface of the first substrate, and a second image is disposed between the light source and the first image. The first substrate is at least partially translucent so that the second image is visible on the front surface of the first substrate when illuminated by the light source. Only the first image is visible in the display when the second image is not illuminated. A process for creating a visual image includes placing the first image on the front surface of the first substrate. The second image is provided behind the first image and illuminated to create a composite of the first and second images on the first substrate.
