  Hi Michael
  
  Are you able to post an image of the side of your van so members can see your example?

  I try where ever possible on my blog/website to include images of plants,flowers, veggies.
  
  That is what we're about right.
  
  Have a new van that needs sign written in the next few weeks. something to think about thanks Michael.

  Thanks Michael
  
  I remember in about 1993, our sign writer told me that photos on vans would be expensive (not that I had planned to use any).
  
  Can you say what this sign writing cost you?

  £250 if I recall correctly

  Looks good Micheal.
  
  At the risk of sounding to technical, is that a 'century gothic' type font ? Clean and easy to read.

  Iv'e always been a bit dubious of using a large image on a sign written van, but i must admit your van looks great, eye catching and therefore memorable, text is short and to the point and easy to read from a distance, Nice

  Yes. Worryingly well spotted!

  The images had to be of a very high resolution in order to be clear but they've worked out okay. Ideally I'd like a van that was completely covered with a huge image kinda like Sky does with it's vans but I can't justify the cost.

  I recently had new decals put on my pick-up and have also had a good response - although I haven't used an actual image of a flower, I have procured a flower using circles to form our new logo. The idea is to make the link between gardening and design.
  
  Have only had the new ones on for a week and have already had some enquiries from knocking about - more than I did with the previous magnets I had!
  
  I agree with the concept of simple jargon - although I have put a wee bit on, it is less of a list than some vans have.
