Is that your own design or has a company done it for you ?
I only ask as it looks very corporation style , like there are lots of these vans out all over the place , or is that how you want it to look ?
Do you work with the side doors open , if you do i see why you have split the info , if not you have a big space that you can really make an impact with .
I might even have a playaround in a mo to show you how i would have it if i had the wedge for one of them vans  ;D

It's a company that generally do large jobs like Arsenal and Jaguar Garages but they do vans and restaurants etc. I should have had it done when I got it but they must have been busy then I had to drop everything to do a job then after Christmas I was a tight arse so I've just got them to change it and ran it past the wife this morning, she says it is fine but looking at your van I could be getting more out of it.

A lot of the time I'll have the side door open and try to keep the back shut. I'm happy with the back but not sure about the layout of the sides although it's got the keywords there for what I want to target. I told him to take the logo of the bonnet before but not sure if it makes any difference.

I did have a look at that website to see if I could do any better but gave up.

I know what you are saying with the side door , i had a transporter before and with the side open the writing made no sense , it dont matter with my noddy van now as i only use the side when filling up or getting the backpack out , which is few and far between
Not to worry , it killed a few hours off watching the soaps  ;D

I think your name should have been first (on the rear panel and the services on the front panel.

Unfortunately, the lines of the van don't help the signage. But following the lines of the van with regard to your telephone number would possibily have looked worse.

I'll have to look at the signage on other Customs as see how other sign writers have dealt with the body lines.

On the near side the steel runner breaks it up so looks better. The van lines are making it look squint but it needs more.
I had to get them to redo the near side as it was 6 inches over to the right on the middle panels.

Is it a bit like hanging pictures. Most walls on old houses are not quite flush or the ceiling is slightly angled, therefore hanging a picture level actually makes everything stand out. Therefore its sometimes best to angle the picture.
Same with the van signage, would it have looked better ifthe writing went in the same direction as the body work rather than making it stand out like a sore thumb.
Its great n all, i just think it's been laid wrong

I just had a crack at putting what i did at the same angles as the bodywork , couldnt move the logo though as it was a hash up of little bits to resemble the original , but im not sure even then ?

I will say though , each time i check in on this thread and i see the way that your van has been done it is growing on me more and more , i do quite like it now , and lets not forget that as you operate with sides open a lot of the time , it is probably the best layout for you , any other way and people will be none the wiser as to who you are !
Run with it chief i say , see how it goes , no point chucking money away is there ?
