Critic Van Design.

[R1 Indy]

Have got a new van due soon, and want to get the decals/sign writing right to give the right/professional impression.

I am not very good with words etc, so thought I would put my designs so far up, to see any recommendations etc, as I know a few of you guys are very good at this sort of thing.

Your thoughts on the wording and arrangements all much appreciated.

Cheers

Looks fine to me but the red cross makes it look like you do first aid too.

Maybe the bullet points could be a bit bigger.

Doesn't this thread constitute advertising?

Looks good to me, agree with the comments above especially the red cross bit.

Thats the logo of the trade body the OP belongs to so pretty essential

Looks good I think full wraps with full colour photos are the way to go with van liveries now though.

I'm not a fan of the way the letters are sitting around the "/" in the third bullet point - is it spaced properly (one either side)?

[campionissimo]

It looks good.

However, the NICEIC should all be in upper case and not with just the first letter capitalised.

and there's no need to capitalise each word in your web address.......

On the back door I'd move the phone no and email down in the space opposite number plate, then move website address up under company name, it can then be bigger and clearer to read.

The orange is a bit hard to read. For your website address, consider doing it in black with just 'Webb' in orange.

The lack of centring of the logo on the front and back make my teeth itch.

[ReaderScars]

Not entirely keen on the logo - sorry!

Perhaps you could create some sort of waveform shape - M+sinewave+W - so overall the M would be the positive part of the wave and the W negative, ie, M above the zero crossing, sinewave through one cycle, then the W below the zero crossing - but keeping it encapsulated inside the circle.

Maybe something like ye olde Plessey logo?

Bullet points drive me nuts. Everyone knows what a spark does, we don't need reminded. What a potential customer needs to know is why they should go with you as opposed to one of the other hundred on Google.

I'd sack them and have a line in the biggest lettering that fits describing your USP, or how you can solve their problem. Or have a big photo of you. People will remember that and it gives credibility that you'll put your face to your business.

The NICEIC thing too, I know it's an industry standard and not everyone has it but 99.99999999% of customers won't have a clue what it is. Something for the website but imo wasted space on a van. A guy in my BNI mentions it every week and I'm still none the wiser.

Or to put it another way have a look at other sparks vans, if you can change the name/logo only and the rest still makes sense with your competitors names instead then you're not offering anything different to the customer.

I'd drop the 're-wires' and 'registered' bullet points and make the other 2 bigger. They'll be the 2 points that get you business from people seeing your van parked up.
