    I like the green stripes against the black bodywork, is it one car only or are there others IE other colour cars to consider the design going on to? just think the last triangle being green doesn’t contrast so well as the others being that the stripes are a similar green also, that aside I like it

    Rich I can see what you are getting at but I reckon at the moment the triangles ( LDA ) are getting lost. .

    Try making them bigger and more dominant. What about trying triangle chevrons. . ( matching same angle of triangle ) if that makes sense.

    I’m also with John, I reckon your chevrons / background need to be a different colour to those used in the Logo.
    Sorry I can’t post visuals at the moment I’m snowed under with stuff for this week. ( am I the only mug that ends up working 24-7 ! ) 😥

    Good luck with it anyway.

    Oh P.s.

    You don’t happen to know of a stock vinyl that is a close match to Pantone 651 ??

    I’m up to my neck in swatch cards and haven’t found anything close !

    Hi Richard

    What if you use silver instead of grey? obviously you have the problems with metallic but if the customer likes it then……….. (!) (hot)

    Just a thought, would make it flashy (-)

    cheers

    Rich I do like the green on black but as John says the logos get lost silver (like warren says) or even gold, not keen on the grey it’s a bit flat

    hi, thanks for the input. I would have used silver but its hard to show as a screen colour. I should have said, think i may see if i can make the logo stand out more using the green as in true life the logo would be one vinyl colour and we would use a very bright green for the background

    still if any one wants a go I’m happy to see your ideas
