You know… i spoke to the lady on the phone….she works in an office where noone else knows what she does …. It was genuine, but you know…the council were never going to allow it… and no…it was not me Peter.!

No pleasing some people, I bet most of the council would be future customers.
The Hackney Carriage compliance test can be quite severe when it comes to a vehicle having 2 broken door handles on the driver side and the mirror looks a bit iffy as well 😀

First wrap I was asked to do on a taxi was for a sex shop which was opening in Edinburgh. I didn’t do the artwork it was done by some designer but the job never went ahead, after changing the text and graphics 4 times trying to get it past the Council the owners gave up :lol1:

Let me get this straight, all of your vehicle lettering over there has to be approved by the town council?
That’s incredible!
Not one sign in Vegas would pass approval if we had that.
It had to be the image cuz I can’t read the name.
😀
Try it again without the hot chick.
Love….Jill -
no Jill not all of it just licensed taxis usually

oh blimy Jill…ones councils are quite particular about what drives around on our taxis……
I must confess…I did think twice about doing this job in the first place..I didnt recon it would happen…but it only took a few secs to wizz up..
Rob…I deliberately took the number off of it before I posted….I had a feeling it would attract attention from some sorts 🙄 -

Rob from the looks of your typing I think someone has just chapped your @ss but good!

Hey thanks for clarifying, ladies, we don’t have too many taxis in these parts.
Only the one, and that guy did all his own lettering.
Oh it was just awful. -
Our signs have to be approved by the taxi council here. Its pretty much a closed shop for signage, unless you know someone and have a ‘contact’, chances of getting the work is near impossible.
Years ago I did all the taxi signage on the east coast of Australia, but the media company that had the contract got taken over and I lost the contract to their bloke.
I had a woman ring me a while ago and ask if I could put ‘captions’ on several posters she had.
I said, what sort of captions….. she said nothing outrageous, just names and stuff. I said sure, bring them down and I’ll get them done.
When she arrived, they were full frontal nudes for the local brothel, she wanted names above the heads so clients could choose a girl without seeing them.
I gotta say, most of the girls were pretty average in the face stakes, I covered the rest of the picture with material so it was not exposed to the staff or clients.
I was a bit annoyed actually, because my kids would often hang around the office after school, and I didn’t want them to be exposed to that sort of thing. I did the job myself as I didn’t want my staff at the time to feel they may have had to compromise themselves.
I suggested to the lady that she might want to just tell me the names in future and I’d post them to her so she could stick them on herself.
