Rubbish, there is too much text for my likeing, and far too much white on the van, can you not reduce the name by about 50% you will be giving the area a bad name.

Red is for warnings, what you trying to say? -
Wow, I thought Mike the sign was back for a minute then!
Nice work Phill. What you should do is get some of that e-bay vinyl to make it in. You know the stuff – 35 year lifespan for 27p a metre.
-
Better still, why don’t you get the letters cut in acrylic and fit with screws and stand-offs to the van!!! :lol1: :lol1:

You may joke. Someone posted that on here once. Moulded letters I seem to recall, stuck on the side of a van.

Yer I did that with my Merc Vito looked brill here is a photo.

Phill, you obviously have a flare for this sign game.
I should seriously start considering taking it up professionally.
That is quality work.😀

quote Andy Gorman:Wow, I thought Mike the sign was back for a minute then!
he didnt happen to have a cheque with him did he mate? 😉
other than the kerning being a little off i think its fantastic! 😛
thank you for taking the time to post your work phill. 😀

I think that is the dogs dinner Phil,
Only one small crit, I think you forgot to weed the middle from the "e" but that may have been for artistic effect?Petert

So you reckon it’s ok the way it is? or should I take Robs advice and increase the Kerning?
I was thinking of maybe doing it in Yellow instead of red 😮
-
Oh man, You just keep popping those ideas from nowhere dude!
Yellow would just leap out at you on that background! -googleye- go for it!kerning though, don’t forget the kerning. its a script so not too far… maybe around 150%

For the subliminal artistic approach, white would be good, but for the best impact, (no dis to Brian) go for a very pale grey, something like 2% black.
Try not to use a shadow though, it will only complicate matters.Peter

Phill that would be really finished with a blue out line, 😎

How about sticking the letters on the inside of the van instead! That would be more eye catching! Don’t forget to letter up the underneath!
-
For best effect, go "Edit, Select all" and then "Delete." Saves on vinyl too!

Thanks for all your help and kind comments. I’ve taken on board all the advice offered and I’m heading down to the job centre now to see if I can get a real job 😳
