van signage on silver

[kilty55]

hi everyone,recently had my old van signed up by myself with a kit from the net,,turned out great,,but then my van died lol so i have bought a new van which is silver,,i just cant recall seeing a silver signed van wantin advice would black be okay for the lettering as the sign company are suggesting white but i reckon this would look naff? any ideas or have any of you guys got a silver signed van?

[Rad2474]

Why don't you get some black+white paper and cut some letter shapes out and stick them on the side of the van and stand back and view it from different angles to see which colour looks the best before getting it done properly.

Gold over black looks very good.....this gives you a bold black outline and easy to read gold writing..

[kilty55]

gold over black sounds the mutts

If you have a silver van DONT put white on it. You need a total contast. Blue or Black.

More from this company who do sign writing.

[kilty55]

that was my initial thought when the guy reccomended white i thought err no thanks,,strange

[GirlRacerRed]

I like the Blue, as 365drills says

trust you to break your van Kilty

i agree anythin that will stand out against silver, it does sound strange putting white or a different shade of silver on, but ud be surprised how many go for it as i worked in a sign shop when left school and its quite popular. Out of interest what shop did you go to?

Had my silver Trafic sign written by a local company..........took in my business cards, because I wanted the same colours used.

They did me a few proofs, which they emailed to me......which I could change if wanted.

I had Blue & Yellow writing, which looks the part

[CJ]

Theres a name for that.........

[GirlRacerRed]

[365drills]

I have only two things to add:

1) YOU TWO GET A ROOM!

AND

2) The best colours are Yellow and Black!


You know it makes sense....

[BDS]

This is mine but is need of major updating grathics and lettering wise its dark blue over light blue on silver.wont let me put pic on cos i`ve used the same pic in another thread,,sign up your van or not ???

[hillhead]

Check my silver van out in my album,all signwritted too.

[Frosty]

My first van was blue with silver writing on it.
Second one is now a silver van with dark blue on it, both work really well together.
I've had many a comment from clients on how good it looks, gives a professional image straight away.
I also took my business cards in and the company did a design around that.

I agree with yellow and black... I worked for JCB for 5 years! I can't pass a digger without looking at it

[mikethetile]

any mid to dark colour will look good on silver

silver vans look class when signed up, ive seen chrome highlights on the letters which looks a treat.

How about silver on a silver van?

Here's mine - I had the blue inlays done and then silver lettering over the top. That way it's easy enough to make changes in the future and if I ever want to remove the whole lot I shouldn't get any ghosting problems.
