Can anyone advise on a better way to lay out this car?

[Benno]

So if I’m right you may only use the logo as a group and not like what i attached?

In my experience, if I had something like this i showed the customer a fast preview like mine to convince them that it’s much better then using the logo as a group.

I could get away with breaking it up like that ………….. but it still looks naff doesn’t it. 😕 I always apply text straight and don’t follow lines on a car………… but it’s just not working with this Clio.

Hi Marcella

Not the best logo I agree 🙄 but I’ve had customers with worse 😀 New clios are a little bit like astra vans in that you have to angle the livery a degree or two. If you put them dead level the moulding strips and window lines give the optical illusion that the whole things pi$$ed !

Good luck with it

[David Rogers]

Just exercised some ‘creative license’….still nothing great though

thanks Dave …………. you know the only thing to make this Clio look good is to leave the vinyls off isn’t it!!!!!!!!!!!!! :lol1:

I’m just gonna have to show him something …………… he’ll probably like it!
I’ll need to do it undercover so no one can see me. 😳

Sorry to highjack your post Marcella.

Can anyone tell me how much the 2007 Clio van differs from the car?????

Just had a look on Renault site and the roof looks higher than the cars is it?

Thanks guys.

Tim.

[Marcella Ross]

can’t answer that one for you Tim ……….. the latest Impact disc doesn’t have a 2007 Clio van on it. 🙁

[Tim Painter]

I know 🙁

Was why I asked, cuz I know your cleva n all M 🙂

[Marcella Ross]

It’s not a nice logo at all.

Here’s another variation anyway.

I always have trouble with adding attachments but I have had a little go.
Probably the worst of the bunch but …..

I meant to add, sometimes small is beautiful

[Marcella Ross]

thanks guys ………… I’ve got it sorted now ……….. Andrew it’s not too dissimilar to what you’ve just put up 😀 Customer was very particular…. so I didn’t have much scope. But he did add a red curve into his logo ……. just to make it worse 😮 😕

fitting it this week ……. NOT putting my name to. :lol1:

Well, we all get these difficult ones, and they can be a pig, but I would just like to add my fourpennorth……

We never put graphics on straight.

As a general principle, I find it usually looks better if we work with the shape of the vehicle rather than try to fight it.

[Martin Pearson]

Marcella, hope you got it sorted OK, as long as the customer is happy with it then thats all that really matters, I don’t know if I am a bit strange but sometimes with difficult vehicles like astra’s I put the graphics on straight and sometimes I don’t, what I normally do is explain the difficulties to the customer before I even design anything for the vehicle and when the time comes to apply them I will tack them in place straight on one side and how I think they look best on the other and then get the customer to decide which way they would prefer them. Takes a little longer but at least I don’t have customers complaining I have put them on wrong.
