need help please on designing new layout for vehicles?
Posted by Cheryl Tissington on December 12, 2005 at 10:52 pmHi there,
I’m renewing our entire driving school fleet in the new year and need some fresh ideas.
If anyones got a few minutes to spare, I’d be very grateful :pray:I’m finding it very difficult to come up with a new, contemporary idea.
The vauxhall corsas will all be red with shiney alloy wheels.
Using crome, black, white & red vinyl at the moment.
The L-Plates logo has to stay cos it’s our company name & trademark.
Everything else is completely flexible :car:
Any help really appreciated.
Many thanks,
Cheryl 😀P.S. I’m struggling to put up a picture on the thread, but have attached an ai file. Many thanks

Just had a look, is that a rubber strip on the side (?) if it is then struggling for room 😕

Please be so kind as to post a .jpg too.
Love….Jill -
Hi Nick,
yes it’s a dreadful black strip.They always get in the way.
Thats one of the reasons I’m struggling.
With the design, nothing carved in stone though. As long as the L-Plates and the name stay together, thats what gives us the corporate logo bit !
Cheers,

Cheyrl I think that is probably bright red ? cause that does make a differance in the design ?

Phew !!! that was hard. I think the file must have been too big.
Thanks everyone 😀
It’s a Ladies prerogative to be a little late Lynn, wouldn’t you agree ! :lol1:

I think the torn L plates above the name works really well… nice one

Cheers Dave, I’ve been using the same logo for the last 25 years.
I just need to jazz the image of the Driving School up a bit.
Thanks for the design Jill, I like it. I like the bigger play on “driving School”
Regards,
Cheryl

Just a quick one.
2 colour based.
Maybe being the light grey=silver or even chrome?? I tried cream and liked it too!
I didn’t go for other strong color like yellow or white, etc coz’ i think red already as enough “power” if you no what i mean?
In fact i think Silver/Chrome or Cream would give the red a sober but hi-class look, or maybe i’m just to tired already 😀Cheers

I like that Vitor, the big plate works really well 😀

Hi Vitor,
many thanks for putting that up.
I really love the big L-Plate on the side.
I think it would look great in crome and its certainly got the wow factor ! 😮
Many thanks once again 🙂

black outline makes it look blurry to my tired old eyes!!!!
-
Hmm, should have gone anywhere!
Glasses prescription in my bag from several weeks ago-just don’t want to wear glasses! 😥 😳

Thx 4 the kind words Nick & Cheryl.
I’m not into the black outlines, i think you have enough contrast already between black and red but i would like to see those outlines with the chrome or cream aswell, being the letters black or even red of course.
I would like to have a play tonight with the rear of the car, if you want me too but i don’t have an AI file for that.
Don’t forget to post the pictures after doing it. 😉

Hi Vitor,
yes, you’re absolutely right about the black. It doesn’t look good.We’ve used crome vinyl on our black & red corsas in the past. They really looked stunning.
After a while the crome gets a nice burnished effect and looks great.
Heres the ai. file – Feel free to play around when you have some free time.
Thanks for all your help, I really do appreciate it 🙂

Constructive crits….there are other more effective alphabets than Helvetica.
The copy has no “flow” to me.
I love Vitor’s idea of the super graphic.
Love….Jill -
How about on the back…

Thanks for having a play around with that Vitor, it’s very much appreciated.
You’re right about the windows. We’re not allowed to cover any part of them. Learner drivers have enough problems. 🙄
Thanks again,
