  • can anyone help with my logo that needs putting onto truck?

    Posted by Brian Maher on 2 January 2006 at 22:18

    hi all,
    i want to put our logo on my pickup so that it ties in with our letterheads cards etc…. but as usual when it comes to our own vehicles us sign people cant do it for ourselves ๐Ÿ˜• :lol1: …
    i’ve attached the logo and a picture of pickup,its a mazda barracuda 2500 double cab 2002

    any suggestions will be appreciated,
    cheers,
    brian

    just noticed i left out phone number on the copy of letterhead posted below…0504-24449 ๐Ÿ˜‰

    hope i’ve done all this right…

    Looks like it has alot of potential. Do you happen to have any ideas for it?

    this is basically what i want on it but not able to get it just right…

    we currently print on a gerber edge but hope to move up to a larger machine this year… i dont want to go mad with a wrap either as i may change the jeep soon and dont want to waste too much money on it…but still need to keep the company name in the public eye, who knows if it looks good enough with a bit of help from here i might keep it :lol1:

    thanks again

    While I do like the logo,
    (lots!)
    on your truck it is overpowered by that HUGE phone number.
    I would try to prioritize your copy
    (do you really need all that stuff on the sides?
    maybe a list of services would be best on the back
    or a smaller bulleted list on the second side window)
    and if you are going to put all that copy on the sides,
    it needs to be tied into the cap of the truck,
    and higher up too.
    Just my 2ยข, you’re off to a good start.

    Brian,
    I dont think the black shadow on the cm signs would stand out at all on the truck, if it is as dark as it looks in the picture, perhaps a medium grey would be better ?

    hi jill,
    thanks for your input…
    maybe i dont need it all on the sides ๐Ÿ˜•
    less is more…and all that ๐Ÿ˜€
    i would prefer to stay off the windows,if possible…but am willing to keep an open mind..

    Here, I had a play.
    I tinted your window and kept everything up top.
    I could not separate your logo so I had to do a mock-up.
    Your logo is actually MUCH nicer.
    My son cannot believe that this is a Jeep!
    (He drives a CJ model)
    Love….Jill

    I like Jills idea (and avatar ๐Ÿ˜› ) but I don’t like text on the opening window.

    This was an idea I had. I am a ‘less is more’ type of guy too ๐Ÿ˜Ž

    thanks guys,

    the blue is painted, match to the blue in our logo ๐Ÿ˜‰

    vans are already getting a lot of attention so it was a good move ๐Ÿ™‚

    like it a lot…….

    not sure if this addition improves final design (?)

    Andrews addition is certainly not a negative to the design Brian. I’d probably do that too it were mine. ๐Ÿ˜›

    He is a talented bloke that Andrew Boyle fella ๐Ÿ˜‰

    Thanks mate. Well done..

    I like that a lot Brian.

    Andrews addition is eyecatching too, and could be done retrospectively I presume?

    How good is it having a decent van to work out of after a cramped ute?

    Cheers

    Simon.
