I saw Jaykie's van when he got his system fitted.

I have to say it looked VERY good.  The pics don't do  it justice. Smart, Pro, eye catching (Even the caricature on the back works well)  :)

Chris,
         did you design the logo etc i think they call it branding? or did the signwriting peeps do it 4 ya?

also did base your branding around the van or the van to match your branding?

one more thing, is that van your 1st? if not what were the predersessers like?

i know LWC had a nice little berlingo/partner what ever it was which looked smart dispite the frisby. ;D

I went to my local sign writters with a few ideas id come up with and they done the pro part and made the final design, once done they emailed everything seperate which i sent to company for my flyers, and also for business cards and work uniform.

they designed the logo, did me a few options, i just wanted them to add water driplets into, probably cant see it.

branding? not sure what you mean

2nd van dude, and yes the partner was previous...going for new look, fresh image. bored of this

Ive been looking into getting my van sign written and have just found out the insurance company im with want an extra £118 a year if i do!!! Id heard it can put your premium up but thats ridiculous. im leaning towards magnetic now (for obvious reasons) or might not bother at all.   
Title: Re: first sign writting ideas
Post by: mr D on July 16, 2008, 10:15:32 pm
van insurance is tax deductabl so dont let it worry you. £118 better spent on your business than handed over to the tax man!

I think it looks really good and is simular to what i wanted if i had the budget but there are a couple of small things i would change .

these are just my opinions, The the 2nd design looks best . on the side you have lost the 3d effect of you logo because of its size and that some of the logo has been cut off,i would make it smaller so it doesnt go onto the curves of the arches . I think the company name doesnt  stand out enough for me, maybe needs to bigger?

i like the larger squares on the front but also would like the logo there to some how

on the back i dont think you need ' insides & outsides '  or ' one off's '

the writing thats left i would put where the logo is and move the logo up

either way mate ,it looks good and you will be impressed when you see it in person
