Thanks to a chap here on cleanitup, I found a reasonable sign writing company who made me two large logos for the side panels plus email addys and phone numbers for each, plus two smaller logos (for the bonnet and rear) with two lots of email addys and numbers, all for £80 delivered to my door...not bad eh!
They were delivered on Wednesday and I took the afternoon off to fit them. I've helped a mate out doing a few signs a couple of years back so learnt a bit about fitting the vinyl and thought I might as well have a go at fitting these.
I didn't do too bad, bodged one tiny bit up where I managed to get a crinkle in one of the large logos but unless you're looking for it you would probably miss it. I didn't bother with the bonnet logo, instead I put it on my mrs rear window on her car along with numbers and email, twice the advertising me thinks?

Nice Sign Writing.
Do you need your ladders to overhang so much at the back?
An insurance claim waiting to happen? ::)
-
LOL, I won't be driving around like that, don't worry ;)
-
like it ! ;)
like the way you thought outside the box as it were ( your logo going outside the edges of the grooved panel) i had a ford courier and the signage was'nt as big as I'd have liked because i kept inside the panels, good job

dont you start, everyone says that...gets boring ::)
-
the sign has given your van a massive standout impact!!! just one thought though does it actually say you are a window cleaner?
-
LOL I did think that too but I reckon you'd have to be some sort of divvy to not understand what its all about....but some mothers do av em i spose, maybe i'll get a little one made up also in white that says "window cleaning" or something just to stick underneath the logos! 8)
-
I think it looks great
i love the play on window cleaner.....cleaner window
-
thanks, believe it or not it took me ages to think of that!! only because I was thinking of names for it that were over complicated so I thought 'd just swap those two words round and then decided on cleaner windows in the belief the windows will be cleaner after I've cleaned them ;D ;D :P

That's a neat play on words for a company name.
-
yeah it used to be just "sign language" but he moved locations and decided that it would be better to call it sign language 2 in its new location.... personally I would have left it as it was though. :)
-
like it .well presented .
-
nice one dennis, it looks good mate ;) 8)

how did you find sticking it on at an angle and getting it into the grooves?

Morning!
Yeah that was the hardest part to be honest (getting into the grooves), putting it on at an angle wasn't a problem apart from when it came to making the other side look the same but then that bits quite hard anyway because your signs will read with the first letter reading from the back to the front and the other side will read with the first letter running from the front to back if you know what I mean?
Didn't even bother with the logo going into the grooves in the back doors cos the grooves are different, I don't know how you would get the vinyl into grooves like that and get them to stay there :S

-
well it looks like a good attempt to me ;) it can be difficult getting the thing into the grooves, did you not get a sign for your bonnet?
-
I did but when I offered it up to the bonnet I thought it would look ship to be honest so I put it on my mrs rear window on her car along with contact details and email addy
-
fair enough!! ;) get the mrs advertising your business as well, i like it ;D
-
Like it, simple to the point and you can't miss it.
-
picked up another job earlier cos of it, also got some interest for a future reference if the ladys wc'r ever lets her down ;)
all good!
