Default Finally got round to stickering my van up....

been wanting to get this sorted for ages but never really had the time..

got offered the chance to design my own graphics and use the machine at my wifes work, so decided to have a go..
took me a full day but I am well happy with the results

let me know your opinions..













few more to do on the back and a few sponsor stickers on the front doors then its all done.. so much better than plain old white van man...

and before anyone asks..... NO the archs dont catch! its the first thing everybody asks!

I think your flag thingy ma jigger should have been done in red matey. As the grey isn't vibrant enough and also distorts your text.

Tim

P.S Do your arches catch?

Cool looking van, but I should think the "trader police" are going to have you for this thread

Agreed on some of the pictures, but on this one it looks fine:



So kind of depends what it looks like in real life I guess.

Thats only because the sun has hit it directly from that angle and for want of a better expression has diluted the grey.

On a dull day of which we have many it's no good really but at the end of the day if he is happy with it then he's happy eh!

it would shocking with the flag in red.. in real life the silver flag is really pale so doesnt take your eye off the logo too much! think its just giving some dodgey reflections in the sun?
for free i don't think it looks too shabby!

its not a plug so please dont remove, i was just happy to have it done at last and wanted to share it..

Not at all mate, I'm not digging at you, just saying what I see

It wouldn't look all that shocking in red, maybe an alternative to that then would be the font in red. Live a little

Looks spot on that mate - VERY professional looking - That alone is enough to attract business on the "first opinion of a person" alone

Matt that looks fantastic, very professional

The only thing i would change would be the web address on the sill, i think it'd look better in the centre rather than at the rear end of the sill.
