If you want it to be right, you may want to inquire and find out who in your area does do murials. You can review their other work and see if they are any good, then decide.

you need to find a way to project a bears logo onto the wall. One way is to find someone with a computer projector, or a slide projector or an overhead projector and then find a slide (or image) of the sort you want to copy. then project it on the wall, and trace the edges with a pencil. then you can paint the orange exactly where and what size you want by just adjusting the distance of the projector to the wall before you trace it

If you have a projector, that's a really easy way to "put it on the wall" and then trace it while it remains in place. If you have a projector that can connect to your computer, just search for a picture online, or if you can find a picture that's a slide and a slide projector, that's easy as well. You could also just lightly sketch it out on the wall in pencil, VERY LIGHTLY, so that you can erase and get it straight, then solidify the lines and paint it over after that.

bring a picture of the logo to Kinkos and make multiple copies...Then cut each section out that is one color (one color cut out of each copy), then paint it in steps (first one color, let it dry, match up the next stencil, put on the next color etc etc.
PS> Kinkos will blow up the copies for you to whatever size you need |

The easiest way is to project it on the wall and trace it. You can use a slide of the logo and a slide projector, or an opaque projector. Another way that is a little harder.You take a logo and draw a 1"X 1" grid on it. You then draw a grid on the wall using a grid of larger squares. You then draw what is in the 1" square onto the larger square Make it easier by numbering the rows and use letters for the colmns. This device is called a durer grid.
