redoing my logo, some guidance needed i think.... take 2
some time ago, about 8 months ago actually, some of you may recall this thread... https://www.uksignboards.com/viewtopic.p ... sc&start=0
I was looking to improve a few things and re-do my own logo and vehicle, I took a fair bit on board as a result of that and have since altered the business name and updated the logo a fair bit. Now that my website is almost finished, I was considering trying to incorporate the website look onto the vehicle. while i've not done a huge amount, it's been at the back of my mind since, so...
still not using a van so the Previa is the target, the plan was - some time ago- to wrap it black (reflective) and use an optically transluscent red film for the dragon, plan being that the dragon would light up as the black reflected white at night and, look iridescent during the day but, as the website is predominantly white, i reckon a rethink is in order, now considering the colour change to white with lam'd white contravision over the tinted rear windows and then applying whatever on top.
re black or white... cost, do a degree, isn't a major concern, was looking to wrap (as suggested by a mate) with hexis HX20000 ultra conformable cast, if i go black then i have to re-tint the windows heavily(the original tint was clearly not designed to be scratch proof or sign resistant!) so tint or contra, much of a muchness.
i've attached a jpeg with the original idea (top), same idea transferred onto white (middle), and another, along the lines of the website (below that) and then another which i just can't seem to make headway on.
the dragon was dropped for the website as i just couldn't get it to work with everything else, i would like to incorporate it on the vehicle though.
not overly sure this web - vehicle thing works amazingly well which is beginning to frustrate me and i'm now getting a headache! i'm now at a stage where i just want to get 'something' on the vehicle but, don't want bodge it.
there were a couple of really good ideas in the last thread, Glenn, i think, did a very vibrant design on page 5 which my newly open eyes see's much more favourably, just not sure how it could be used.
any and all suggestions appreciated, please feel free to play about with it, have ony attached cdr as my ai file seems huge, perhaps someone else could convert?
regards,
Hugh
cdr contains only top and bottom layouts due to file size upload constraints.. these are what i'd like to work on if poss.. have also removed the translucency effect, would like it faded but open to suggestion.
looking at it again (to check the right file uploaded), i'm wondering if the bottom layout should be left as is, wrap white, dragon at back, webby and No, nice n clean... jobbed! ?
i hate doing my own stuff. have had two out of three quoted layouts accepted this am, i doubt there's two hours design work between them, why can't i just accept something i do for myself? lol.
