    Hello

    I was wondering if anybody had any ideas how to improve this design, the customer wants to keep his logo but is willing to change the colour. i just hate red vans! thought about flood coating the panel with white but mite be to scary so thought about silver. I just cant get a good layout on it.

    Any ideas welcome

    Thanks

    Martin

    Martin why flood the panel if the customer is happy to change the colour. Try it with the text & logo in silver, should work ok. Think the grey you are using to represent silver is to dark which is throwing it a bit making it look darker than it actually will be.

    Try outlining the blue writing in white. (Blue looks terrible against a red background, but good when separated by a white outline)

    Hi Martin

    I’ve done a few red vans over the years – here’s a link to what I can find.

    White & black are my preferred colours, although as Phil said – blue with a white outline would also work.

    Some obviously better than other…some, now that I look back on them are shameful!!
