How would you do the background of this logo?
Posted by Peter Normington on 13 September 2007 at 20:51this is for a vivaro which is silver metalic, what I want to do is just print the bubbles on clear, so that they give a wet droplet effect to the paint. the effect is a fill from signlab, but the grey is part of the image. How easy should it be to give a transparent background to the bubbles in ps or corel, I have tried, but not having great success.
The text and arrows will be print and cut, on white vinyl and applied after. the grey part of the arrows will be chrome.any advice or a similar effect with a transparent background?
the final design is yet to be done, but need to know if I can get the effect first.

is this a large graphic?
can you not just print the whole thing on white and contour cut or do you want an exact match of the van colour?
you could just print the background in gray scale using spot colour black onto clear? the only bit that would be lost would be the tiny whit dot on each bubble. -

…or mist your cut vinyl with water, spray Krylon over it in one direction and another color of Krylon in another direction and leave dry.
I’ve seen Letterheads do this with panels at meets, but it might not be for the feint of heart!

thanks all, specially Dave.
I must be having another senior moment, (worn down buy a customer today)
I created the bevel with eye candy, forgot I had the water drops filter!Peter

Or you could just get a hose pipe and soak the van to get the same effect 😕

you wouldn’t believe the amount of time we spent on bubbles like this… our company image is based on it.
