  • pantone colours needed please?

    Posted by Martyn Loach on January 11, 2007 at 12:43 pm

    Can anyone help?
    I have been asked to do a van in the same style as Eddie Stobart.
    I need to know the pantone colours for the type that has red lettering with a yellow shadow.
    Ive been in touch with Stobart but they dont want to help.

    If you have been asked to do a van in the same style then I would just pick a red and a yellow from the vinyl range that I use that is the best match for Stobart’s colours.

    i wouldn’t copy it like for like… try and get something original. i can understand why the sign firm didn’t want to help.

    Robert, I would agree with you that something original is probably going to work far better than just copying the style of another company but having explained that to the customer if they still asked for it to be done like that I would do it rather than lose the work.
    it should be easy enough to find a red and yellow vinyl that are close to what stobart’s used to use.

    yeh i probably would too martin.
    sorry i miss read the initial post. i thought he wanted his vehicle done in the same design/look/colours as stobart as opposed to just using similar font and colours, hense why i said i can understand the firm being a bit unhelpful.
