  • I can’t design my own van – help please

    Posted by Ewan Chrystal on March 20, 2016 at 11:10 am

    I know it sounds daft but i can’t for the life of me decide what i want on my van. Ive done about 10 different designs so far. I like the idea of a wrap or part wrap. Below is my logo which itself i think needs a change and my van.
    I think i want something thats big bold and will get noticed i just cant decide what i want. Does anyone have any suggestions what might look good? I thought doing my own van would be easy but its worse than doing a customers.

    Speak to Hugh – he’s got a contact that designs signs for fishing rods that could help you with the layout 😕

    Phil, i wouldn’t want to get caught up in a copyright wrangle with them for copying their design.
    It doesn’t lend itself to an easy layout does it Martin – thanks though looks good.
    A customer came in today and within 15 minutes i had designed his van and got the job – why the heck cant i do that with my own van lol

    This was one of my earlier efforts – will certainly get noticed if nothing else 😳

    I always design with the installation in mind, like the one above, I wouldn’t know how to get a tidy looking gradient without a hideous white background.

    Perhaps just smack the logo big, on a 45degree angle each side?

    Simple, people will need to study it to read it, and your company name says what you do. Then just contact details to the doors?

    We did similar with our Caddy but with a partial wrap top.
