We thought about something better a few years back.
If you have a satellite with a reflective surface of roughly 1m2 you can make it look like a star when it is in low earth orbit. The reflective surface can be made out of space grade cellofan, and unfolded when it reaches orbit. Now if you have 50 satellites like this and are able to position them relative to one another (this is the tricky part) you can make a logo with 50 stars that will blaze across the night sky. You can even reposition them to create other logos.
We did a short feasibility study, and it is possible, but quite expensive.
Would be pretty cool though..
