    hi Nikolas

    Sorry to be a pest, but…
    please can you attach .jpg or.gif images as visuals mate?
    just helps folk see "at a glance" if they feel they can contribute.

    Same info but that’s about all with this idea.
    Not a big fan of black and red and generic Roman type fonts.
    Also, can’t help but think the lettering below the bump strip will get very dirty.
    You could offer something a little different colour wise with a cleaner more modern feel.

    nice work Neil…

    Nikolas, to be honest on vehicles these days, i dont put a fax, email.

    at most…

    T: 0000 000000

    M: 0000 000000

    i do get the view of cover all grounds, which is maybe doable on the rear of a vehicle, but sides? by that i mean, we have time sat behind vehicles in traffic to take lots of info, but the sides is more a brand awareness, quick passing advert type thing. the front just a logo or company name.

    anyway, just giving a quick view on the contact details.

    Of the 2 that you’ve posted then the second one is by far the better but as neil has said anything that low down on a vehicle will get dirty very quickly & if it becomes unreadable then people won’t know what they do. Like Neil I’m not a fan of Red & black either & I’m sure Jill will have a comment to make about it.

    Contact details, same as Robert, haven’t actually been asked to put a fax number on a van for a long time but normally advise the customer that Phone & web address is sufficient. Any more than that & it starts looking cluttered.

    2nd one is the best but i wouldn’t put the name on an angle, i’d have it in line with the trim, also wouldn’t go for red & black, horrid colours 🙂
