  • A Simple design for a builder – fitting it tommorrow!

    Posted by Joe McNamara on January 26, 2004 at 11:16 pm

    Hi gang,
    Just finishing a layout for a “typical builder’s van”.
    I’ve posted this to show how a simple layout can be made to look “more” than it actually is!
    By using a shadow on the main company name and some simple light blue lines, the whole design gets a little lift and makes for a happy customer!
    Cheers
    Joe

    I like that Joe.. Very smart mate. πŸ˜€
    I like the logo too, did you design these or replicate it?
    The pin-line ties it together. Nice, clean simple, but effective.

    Constructive criticism:
    The corgi logo. It looks a bit too close to the edge of the door and maybe a bit big.
    General builders may need reduced a tad and centred more under name.

    Theses are not faults as such, more my self-preference mate.. Tell me to bogg off! (chat.)

    Oh yeh.. how do you get the vinyl text to float in the air like that on your vans (all designs & images are copyright)… does it not blow away when you speed up? πŸ˜‰ πŸ˜†

    Here’s the finished joe – made the corgi logo a bit smaller like you suggested Rob…..unfortunately they wanted one on the back as well and it dosen’t really sit right!
    Cheers

    Hi Joe
    Great work mate as ever.. Looks better on the actual van..
    I like that logo too. Very distinctive.. Well done mate.

    Jon, yes mate.. That’s the new corgi logo.. πŸ˜• I preferred the old one the sort of honeycomb one.. This new design from corgi is very bland
