Some nice work there David, some top notch too mate. Well done! 😛

Constructive crit:
well I don’t really have any other than “self preference”.
I really like your own van, but not keen on the font. Vag round?
Same goes with the flamingo signage… great signs etc but not keen on the font…
The illuminated flamingo panel looks great. But I think the fluorescent tubes create a bit too much shadowing. Still looks great but a suggestion would have been to run a constant strip of led’s around the parameter. There wouldn’t be any shadows and the whole panel should glow pretty even. Ide recon you probably could have been cheaper too using led’s to the tube method.

Anyway, always a pleasure seeing your work David… even better seeing you take front cover of sign directions magazine then several pages inside. Way to go mate… hats off to you. 😉

Thank you for taking the time to post your work.

[Peter Normington]

font choice for me is not an issue, its how its used,
We all have are own prefs though

Great work David, thanks for sharing it with us.

First van isn’t very good though, I take it the customer designed it himself :lol1: :lol1:

[David McDonald]

Morning all

Thanks very much for the feedback and comments.

Rob, good point about the Flamingos panel, thanks for that. In hindsight would have been better with LED’s. I might even go back and swap out the tubes.

Martin, the customer for the first van was indeed a pain! Wanted to sit down for 5 hours and look through all 2000 fonts we have, then insisted we gave him some prints of blank van outlines so his kids could come up with the final design in crayons! We did manage to talk them out of Brush script in all Caps for the text though.

We knew we were going to get a mention at some point for the Playtown project but had no idea that one of the characters would be on the front cover. To say we were chuffed would be an understatement.

Thanks again
Macky

[Pryam Carter]

Excellent work.

[Nigel Hindley]

Awesome stuff David all brilliant

Agree with Rob about the flamingo panel but think the font is spot on and suits the logo and overall look of the business – the sign at the front of the shop – love it too how did you do this? Not so keen on your van mind just feel no relevance and lack of overall impact and contrast.

Great Work M8 Keep It Up. :appl:

Hi Nigel

Thanks for the comments

The Flamingo fascia is an aluminium tray powder coated cream, fret cut face with opal acrylic backing with flat cut acrylic letters mounted on it. Dibond back tray with standard fluorescent gear trays / tubes. As the box projects above the flat roof we had to put some extra bracing inside to make everything nice and solid.

Cheers
Macky

David, forgot to congratulate you on the magazine entry, not surprised you are chuffed. A great job and I am sure the magazine article will look great in your portfolio.

[Scott.Evans]

When you going to finish the first van looks like you re airbrush run out half way down the van. :lol1:

Keep the good work Up.
