    Hi all,

    Any suggestions and thoughts on the layout of this van?

    All help would be appreciated.

    Thanks Ben

    Keep the laundry list on the back doors.
    Lose it on the sides.
    Make the logo bigger on the sides.
    And get rid of the Brush Script.
    (hot)
    hahaha
    Love….Jill
    PS
    Get rid of the "TEL:"
    and make a white pinline outline around the red letters on the mechanic part, between the red text and the black outline.

    Design looks good but I would move the phone number to under the sliding door runner and towards the rear of the van. Ive done loads of Vivaros and the Impact outline emphasises the swage line a little more than it actually is.

    I think the back doors look a little cluttered with all the services too.

    love the logo and the spanner shame its a left hand thread
    sorry not keen on the fonts or big list 😉
    bit tricky deciding where to cut the spanner because of the drop shadow.
    as jill says separate the red from the black like in the logo. see how the red pops.

    got real potential this one

    Firstly never use red text with a black outline they are both dominant colours and do not contrast with each other why not leave a gap between the text and the outline if you have to use these colours

    secondly a bold typeface with a thick outline closes the negative space up around the shapes and makes it harder to read at a distant
    thirdly if you use a bold font for the title then use a lighter version for laundry lists as jill calls them
    l
    these lists sre fine if the space between the lines is not too great .these need to be tighter
    loose the list on the side, make the logo and mechanics etc bigger

    on the back use a nice light version of euro / microgrammer font whatever its called
    tighten the gaps between the lines and it should be good to go
    i would sooner leave stuff off if i thought it looked too busy
    These are my favourite vans and they have some good panels but you need to work with them
