  • Vehicle Graphics: Grahams / Doggy day care

    Posted by Robert Lambie on June 27, 2006 at 8:42 pm

    Just me trying to clock up my work submission on this forum. told you i would try catch up on the rest of you… :lol1:

    Amongst signs and stuff, here’s a couple of vehicles Andrew and i fitted today.
    not keen on some of the sizes, fonts used on the dog van but i think Andrew had his work cut out on this one tossing designs back and forward. as ever… customer wants everything big!
    rear window of dog van has the controvison type idea, using lines i did in my past demo.
    the dairy van is the second design of the grahams fleet and used on 10 trucks that we have now done over the past week or so, for their "organic" dairy products delivery vehicles.

    all vinyls used have been Oracal 751 cast, and oracal digital with equivelant laminate for the printed graphics.

    Hi Rob,

    Like the colours on the Doggy van.. Was the logo printed or cut vinyl? Fancy designing it to go in the middle with all those curves to get around!!!

    Cheers

    the logo was printed and laminated using oracal digital wrap and laminate mate… I’m not sure the ins and outs of the design, but i think the customer was pretty set on the logo being centred at top of text and the design/text as big as possible. to slide the design down on rear panels made it look bottom heavy and just didn’t look right. the recesses aren’t really as deep as they look… i think its just the angle i have taken the picture that obscures things a bit.

    Rob that rear window stripe style you have used (as in your demo) have you had to remove one yet, as I have just suggested it to a client but then thought about me removing later and did not like the idea.

    .

    Since you posted that demo Rob we have used that same idea at least 20 times so far………me thinks i must send you a %. 😉

    Customers always happy to spend another £25 per rear window (usually x 2 per van) as they think it takes ages to fit them. 😳

    Nothing wrong with those Robert. They’re eye catching and effective.
    I like the doggie one. Nice and clean with no clutter!
