    Hi

    Any ideas for this.
    It’s for a Vet Ambulance, but the client want’s to incorporate both surgeries on one vehicle (hasn’t got correct number for new surgery yet)

    I have hit a stone wall with ideas.
    Nothing is hard and fast except name numbers.

    And yes the van is close to that colour

    Thanks Dave

    Hi Dave

    Just thought I’d have a go at this for ya b4 I have my tea 🙂

    You didn’t "embed" the font in the Corel file but from memory
    I seem to remember that Baskerville is a serif font ain’t it but perhaps
    a san-serif one would have more impact ?

    Thought a dark green colour for the text might look a little better
    than the black. Also you may be able to find some sort of cat, dog
    or other "pet" type graphics for the windows to enhance the back
    of the van ?

    Just my take.

    The problem is that a ‘clinic’ and a ‘centre’ are different. You need a different license to operate a clinic (more a hospital grade) but a centre is more like a normal Vet.

    So, they need to be seperate which makes the design more complex.

    I’d see if you could dedicate one side of the vehicle to each location. That would give you more room to have a bit of flair.

    Just a thought.

    I’d help, but I can’t open the file for some reason.
    I have Corel 9.
    Shame about the color of that van!
    love….Jill

    Thanks!
    Here is my take for what it’s worth.
    One thing that to me seemed glaringly redundant is that it says "VETERINARY" three times.
    Does it need to say "ambulance" if it IS an ambulance?
    love…Jill

    For ‘Road Tax’ exemption reasons only.. :lol1: I’ve done a couple of wildlife rescue vehicles. The charity owners hate having the word AMBULANCE on it as junkies break in to them looking for drugs.

    No, it was hauling a sick elephant and the shock absorbers broke!
    (actually I was copying what Stevo always does)
    love….Jill
    PS
    You could write AMBULANCE on the front and back maybe.
