Van Signwriting

Evening all, 

I Picked up my new van a little over a week ago and am getting it fully kitted out before I sell my pickup and move over to using the van.

Part of the project is getting it signwritten. My question is:

What makes a slick, effective and recognisable van? 

I'll include my business logo. phone number (I might get a virtual geographic set up), website and email, but should I include the services I provide, qualifications or other bits and pieces? 

Any help much appreciated.

Tom

    Simple and big. THere's a big thread somewhere of peoples van 20 odd pages I think that will have lots of idea for you.

    Simplicity using eye catching colours and fonts.

    Get the key bits of info in/on the right places in the right sequence.

    If you want contact by phone, ensure it's clear..or if SM, Email or Web - the same.

    Don't list 20+ bullet points and irrelevances.

    Finally test your draft out on a few non-connected people (not friends or family). Have them critique...hard .... then and accept their views...

    Vanity counts for zilch

      My top tip, make sure your contact details are as near to the roof as possible = more chance of people seeing them and less likely to get covered with muck

      Why not extend the top left all the way across and see what that look like?

          I think that looks better. The only thing I think is missing is a landline but that's just me loads of people seem to run with mobile only

              To be honest I'm not really the person to ask on this. My truck has no sign writing at all as I did not want to spoil it:)

          I'm tempted say  'yawn!' but hey everyone's different

          Don't waste space by repeating yourself, you only need to mention Garden maintenance once

          have you not got a tag line?

            Also I thought you had a nursery background, do you offer expertise with plants?

            Why not use your favourite flower in the design

              Hi Tom,

              I would drop the email address, as people should contact you via your website, ideally by a form, so less clutter

              Assuming you want to sound professional rather than 'cheeky chappy'

              Do you prefer traditional or modern?

              Get a more memorable domain name, even if you just set up redirect

              e.g tombeegardens or beevorgardening

              Call Tom for 'Professional Garden Maintenance'
