    Have not posted anything for a while 🙂

    I had to scale down the signs from a coaster to fit this commuter.

    I’m not happy that the logo is so small, but the client was adamant with his request. On past form, it will be back in a week for me to redo it bigger 😕

    Nice work. Is the graphic on the front door printed?

    This looks like a hiace is it the same thing with just the side windows etc?

    Mate, the commuter is a bit longer than the Hi Ace. Its a dedicated Bus. This one is 12 months old, with 208,000k’s on the clock. It was with another tour company that I no longer do, but he’s just joined coachtrans, so I had to strip the old stuff (mongrel job!) and re do it in the new scheme.

    The plane and logo are usually printed on my solvent printer, but this is a one off as all the other bus fleet are coasters, so I just computer cut them.

    The orange and yellow are reflective, the rest is 551 Oracal. I normally print the black outline on the silver, and lay reflective orange over it, and I usually print the black over the yellow for the plane. They are both die cut then.

    Thanks all,

    I always like Blue on White too Lynn, I did the original design for the fleet about 8 years ago. Still looks a good design although I have gradually change the blue to this one. I used a slightly darker shade originally.

    Shane I prefer the mid sort of blue I find the darker ones especially at night look black.
