    Sorry Rich, didnt mean to sound fascistious, but at least put your ideas up for improvement, or critism, thats what you normally do, not just ask for ideas from scratch.

    Right Rich, now we are rockin an Rollin.
    that design has lots going on, not a lot to improve, perhaps a key line around the text, just to separate from the background.

    Ian, I really like the bevel on the snowflake-how did you create it, and is it print or vinyl?

    created vector logo in omega exported as an eps into paint shop pro 8 or adobe cs and then colour and apply plugin eye candy bevel boss and mess about with the setiings till it looks good.

    export or save as a high re tiff open back up in omega and place the vector line over the image and hey presto i have a image ready print and cut logo for the edge.

    does that help?

    how come your story never happens to me? i have the hardest time getting something non-omega in omega, it’s a pain to do, sometimes it imports you eps, most of the time it doesn’t.

    kinda gives you that: "i wanna beat the cr@p out of the computer and run it over with a bulldozer a couple a times and knowing you’ll feel better afterwards kinda-feeling

    really annoying
    once i was so mad i made a sticker that said:

    dont really know what to say to that im afraid, although i have progressed all the way pretty much from the early stages of composer to the almost latest version of omega to date.

    i do have to lie to the edge on a regular basis to get the results i require and if some other user of omega picked up my design to reproduce it, they would struggle because of the way i work the software.

    manual bleeds and traplines and vinyl colouring being the most confusing..

    maybe u could do with some advanced training from me.lol.

    yrs ago i approached the rep about using the spandex bonus points for training in bristol since i was self taught and he said not to bother with the results i was already getting as i probabaly could take the training course myself.

    So my fly inthe ointment is that the text, "vehicle aircon etc" is to small to read at any distance. and just wondered how we got onto telegraph poles?

    Sorry Andrew, but I have to say this You may have been subliminally influenced by the Harry Worth sitcom intro, you know, when he stands at the corner of a shop window and raises an arm an a leg?

    OK maybe you are not old enough to remember, I’m leaving the room now……

    without going into how the design came about, i recon Andrews design is more a type of corporate image than blatant advertising peter. yes it all boils down to same sorta thing i guess…
    the small line of text will probably be about .75 inch high on the van, perhaps an inch at most. but still legible. 😕
    I think that the overall effect of proper branding can be more advantageous to a company than fluorescent text and huge phone numbers to catch the eye of passers by.
