  vehicle graphics: vw crafters, lt’s and a renault kangoo

  Posted by Dennis Van Der Lingen on 29 November 2006 at 15:41

  hey all,

  some of the work we’ve done.
  this was a fleet of 13 vw crafters, 4 vw LT’s and a renault kangoo
  we did none of the designwork it was (poorly)handed from a design agency.

  really nothing worked on the crafters, they gave us the long version of the van and when we arrived to fit everything we saw (you guessed it) short versions
  printfiles were given to us on the wrong scale (wich nobody knew, agency assumed the client gave proper file, wich they passed on to us and we assumed that (according to our file delivery specs) where scale 1:1 unless otherwise mentioned, nothing was mentioned so the vans gotten a bit more expensive for the client than intended.

  after 5 crafters (in one day) where done, the agency called us with some happy news: there were 5 versions of the van and the one the client agreed upon was somehow lost so we were given the wrong version (i know don’t ask).
  so we threw 1/3 of the livery away and made some new
  the vans have gotten even more expensive for the client then intended

  the lt’s and kangoo were ok, but that’s because i checked every piece of the design and guess what the design company asked us for the scaledrawings of the kangoo and lt’s so we gave them and when we gotten the drawings back pulled out of scale. i told him that and he replied to me that that’s the way he always works, so i told him that he was lucky this time that i saw it (because of all the guys booboo’s so far) but it will cost him even more money next time if hey doesn’t get things organized.

  anyway because of his stupidity the job was much more stressfull butt gave 50% more turnover then expected (i wonder who will pay for those 50%, the client or the agency?)

  Well done mate.

  Love the look of the VW Crafter. We don’t have those here unfortunately. I find silver one of the hardest colours to be creative with. Makes me wonder why I bought a new silver VW Caddy life the other day. Don’t know what I was thinking 🙁

  That’s looks real professional and slick.

  The colours go well.

  I should think the client was pleased with the end result Dennis?
