  • Davey: Premier Print van

    Posted by Neil Davey on October 21, 2011 at 9:14 pm

    Did this today, mix of matt & gloss vinyls and digital print.
    The two owners were like kids on Christmas morning picking it up.
    It’s great when a customer shows real enthusiasm for the work we do.
    Their design and my suggestion to use matt black ovals but they were blown away with the completed van.
    They made my day. 😀

    well hats off to you Neil…

    I personally really like this van "clean and memorable".
    Shows "proper creativity" from a sign maker utilising products available to them today.

    in other words… "thinking outside the box" 😉

    Top notch work Neil, thank you for taking the time to post this mate…

    p.s. i doubt the same appeal would come from a white van… coloured vehicle for sure.

    Nice concept, should make your customer lots of money, it’s so nice to have the enthusiastic feedback, makes the job worthwhile.
    Small crit, kerning, mainly of the ‘1’s but I suppose only a signmaker would notice it. 😀

    Thanks guys, agree about the kerning, should have altered that.
    Photo doesn’t do it justice. The Matt black looks different whatever angle you view from and looks real classy against the gloss black of the van.

    Like that too Neil!
    Have you applied the lettering over the discs or cut the letter shapes out of the discs? (if that makes sense 😳 )

    Really like this.

    We’ve just bought our first van, and want to keep it minimal, but effective.

    It’s different but not cluttered and in your face. Brilliant idea.

    Meil, my little Welsh friend whose team came 4TH in the world cup……

    That ain’t half bad, it all comes together really well.
    Great one for the website.

    With the text on the doors, being colours you don’t use every day, did you have to buy 5mtr of each colour….I take it it’s not printed?

    Love it Neil, just brought a new black Fiesta van and was looking for something subtle like that. Cracking idea and job well done

    The lettering was fitted over the matt ovals and gives it a textured kind of reptilian feel.
    Luckily had the door colors in stock but I can buy by the meter from Spandex as they love me!!
