It's a little hard to read the orange writing underneath, maybe just the angle though.

I think the background writing looks nice, but your main name logo looks like your trying to hard, I am aware its the one you are using currently. wink

If the name "Reflections" was just written normally, but with nice simple font, and with that background it would look very smart.

To be honest it makes my eyes go funny when I look at the name!

Do you do caravans at all? only I've always thought a mobile caravan service and valet would do well, especially with people whose caravans have been laid up over winter. Grease the axles, set tyre pressures, service brakes, full clean in and out. How's THAT for an idea? (I don't like your van design by the way, it's too busy on the eyes)


ETA:

if you do this at all would you just save up the royalties and send a cheque a bit later on, only I've got my eye on a shrimping boat

Do you know any caravenners?

They love all that greasing and cleaning doing the tire pressures etc, in fact my neighbour is cleaning his right now and I can see he has a boner. eek

hehe

but do they like doing it all though? or is it just something they HAVE to do. I'm thinking a full valet with polish. Upholstery shampooed, glass polished in and out, Gas bottle exchanged. The full monopoly massive of caravan clean ups!

It's not really working mate, get a professional Graphic Designer to produce something for you. At the end of the day the logo and identity is representing your company, and if it looks amateur it will come across that way to clients?

To me there seems to be far too much going on and unreadable tbh.

Wouldn't fancy peeling that lot of either when you want to change or sell the van. The guy that done ours designed it for us until we was happy.

'Corporate' Not sure I understand that???

So you don't do Joe Public? no private punters then? that's how I would read it.

that is correct, i dont genrally do jo public (unless it is my platinum/lifeshine level)

i only do offices/factories/fleet cars ect!

i wont be changing my logo, i am happy with that and have it on my uniform/leaflets/website/business cards ect, its just looking for something a bit "different" to do with my van to make it stand out!

Fogging? That just sounds wrong.

I like it (although have to confess that I don't know what "fogging" is - presumably it is some sort of service you offersmile). Only comment would be that the phone number and website look a bit hard to read (might be different in real life though) Why not do the black with orange that you currently use on the back doors?

I'd agree, imho, would prefer something more simple.

Looks good, I'm also getting a new van in the coming months and getting it signwritten.

Is there a website for designing a name on a van like what you have done?

Thats very difficult to read when it's parked, so no chance as you drive past.
