Glen, try using a spot that is far away, so it lights the wall evenly,
but use a Small Shadow map angle (which defaults to the same as the
spotlight cone) to cover just the logo. You can see the Shadow Map angle
represented as a square in the Light View when it is less than the Cone
Angle of the light. The trickfor best shadows is to get as small a Shadow
Map Angle and as large a Shadow Map Size as possible.
