Rich, something thats strikes me straight away, and please don’t take this the wrong way here, but you’re called Dynamite Signs yet there isn’t the slightest wiff of a stick of TNT in your design 😀

I’m just about to head out again and I don’t know whether this would help, but I’d use a big and bold font, like Arial Black, colour it red. Outline it in white to make it stand out on the blue van, then change the i in Dynamite to a stick of dynamite, complete with lighted fuse in a bright yellow. If the dynamite is tilted slightly to one side, it could be quite effective.

Only suggestions, and if I wasn’t heading out the door I’d have a pop at it for you, but I’ll have a lash later on if you like the idea 😀

Cheers, Dewi

Its crude and not exactly what you’d call a finished design, but for a 5 minute wonder 😉 Hope it helps anyway Rich 😀

Cheers, Dewi

Hi Rich

I personally wouldn’t go with an actual stick of dynamite on the van.

My choice would be:
1) a oval flash or star burst not a stick o dynamite
2) red and yellow flash as a background to the text “Dynamite”
2) the text in red and yellow
3) slightly less formal font

Very quick and crude sketch attached

Cheers
Alan
