place Pismo logo side down on a good color copier
copy
cut out the logo with enough background color to cove the original logo
treat the surface with spray acylic or laminate
glue over top of old logo in any direction you want it

alternative
glue the botton of a snap on top of original logo
glue a hammered thin piece of lead or solder wire to the back of the bottom
edge of the new logo
glue to of snap to the new logo copy made above
lubricate top of snap with something like WD-40
snap on to top
for protection from rub against other objects - glue a clear plastic or
glass dome such as the glass/plastic on analog watches (from a cheap watch)
over the logo/snap apparatus.

if the snap is lubricated adequately and free moving, the weight (hammered
thin piece of lead or solder wire) should be pulled by gravity downward
keeping the logo upright with regards to the ground when opened

a lightweight spring could be added underneath the logo to return it
original (or desired) position when flat


cost::
snap, glue, sping, cheap watch, color copy - under $10

the envy of other Pismo owners with logos that appear upside down when open
? ...but probably not price less
