    Bit of a brain pick really…….I just cant think today 🙁

    OK here we go….. I signed 2 VW Polos – 1 Black 1 Blue with
    Text about 4 -5 inch high down the side all the way along plus a few other bits garage courtesy cars………

    Anyway text was Yellow with drop shadow in fuschia Pink…worked great on the black and looked ok on the Blue.

    Client is now adding 2 Red ( non metallic ) to the fleet and want’s same layout….those colours would look lousy

    So Im after colour suggestions……….

    Thanks for any input

    If you’re client wants something ‘in your face’ then perhaps yellow and black on the red?????? Mmmmm…. I think you need to try and keep some form of unity between them all or it would look like a bag of liquorice allsorts!!!!

    My suggestion is: change the shadow to middlegrey.

    Pink and red is horrible together in my opinion, depends a little on the red coluor though.

    drop shadow in fuchsia purple.

    I recently created a design with that combination, and it looks great, but the eye-drive in my design went from red to yellow, to purple. My red was a deep tone, and the yellow and purple were lighter in comparison.

    drop shadow in purple alters the eye-drive somewhat but it may work, or you could try drop in yellow and purple letter
