    Mikes CD has now paid for its self 3 fold on this job, the customer was given 3 designs and he went for this one no hesitation, when told the price (Β£290) he said “I don’t care its brilliant”. πŸ˜† Thanks Mike!!

    Well the customer is always right Steve, well he was on this occassion it is good. Only thing I am not sure about is the large “G” at the end of plumbing. If you dont mind me asking what was the reasoning on this?

    Brilliant Steve – Well done. πŸ˜€ That van is now a great advert for that plumbers business who will recoup his outlay from the extra work he gets as a result of his mobile advert πŸ˜€

    Very nice Steve! I really like this one mate. Spot on
    Doing a trade van is hard. They always want something different that will stand out.
    The problem is. We do fancy stuff for them, but then it looks more like a cartoon or
    That the van belongs to an auto spray shop or something.
    You have managed to, in an instant make the passer by recognise it’s a plumbers vehicle due to the ghosting β€œtap”
    And the special effect letters is what draws your eyes for the second look. Something most will remember the next time the van passes in the street. This β€œto me” anyway, is a major β€œmust achieve!” in my book.
    Well done. Hope that made sense πŸ˜†

    Criticism? Well just the tel numbers… too big for my liking, but hey it’s not my van is it? πŸ˜‰

    Great Work steve,

    Just a quick question though, did you cut out the gaps for the main text and phone number in the tap or just lay the tap as it should be and then lay everything over on top???

    Martin if you want to know why the “G” is like that then you’re gonna have to buy Mikes CD πŸ˜€ πŸ˜€ no seriouly every way I typed in the 3 lines of text it just didn’t look right then I remembered reading on Mikes CD about treating images as shapes ie a rectangle and doing what you can to fill that shape, go on, go on, go on buy it!
    Gav, I just laid it all over the top, as the CB is 4 layers of vinyl its not that noticeable, some will say no you shouldn’t do it like that but in some situations it don’t matter a jot!
