vintage sign write my bus?!? should I or shouldnt I?!?

[thru_a_lupe]

not at all gra.... no worries .... every little helps!!!

i have actually knocked up a logo in the same style that looks slightly og signwriting.... but it has balck outlines... do you think the outlines should be included on the bus logo?!?

:?:

 

[froggy]

Sorry but think it either needs to be 'thru-a-loop photography' or 'thru-a-loop photographic services'
'Thru-a-loop photographic' just seems un-finished to me :? although do like the last design with the black outline
Also might be worth getting some business cards made up and leave them under your windscreen wipers at a few shows.

Looks better including the black outlines, but I do feel that the 'C' at the end has too much black in the outline making it stand out too much.
But looks really cool to me.

cheers froggy and resto.... i think the photographic services' is the way forward....
loving the black outline too but not looking forward to painting it!!!! :msn4:

Not a bad plan to set up on your own if theres a place in the market for you.
Good luck with the venture

Sorry to hear of the job situation :?

Im thinking of some new signwriting for my Bus too, again, photography.

When i had the Bus written up advertising my Gym it was one of the most successful advertising things i did, well worth it. I'd go for vinyl if it were me, they were on there for about 2 years and the doors just needed mopping when i took them off, no lasting damage or ghostly letter outlines.

i like your designs, all id say is try to make them as clear as possible, good luck fella

Last month i did the words and pics on the Ninove trip in Ultra, id like to get into feature car shoots if poss. Just bought a large format Canon printer so printing photos and canvases at the mo.

Had my first trade stall at Battlesbridge VW show that went well, going to be trading at Grill and Chill later in the year too. No website yet mate but ive got a page on facebook under STUC Design, always appreciate some constructive criticism though

mmmm....sounds interesting.... may be a chance for some business between us at some point?!?

best of luck with it...like wise if you need any advice...just give us a shout...

 

[thru_a_lupe]

okay... bit of a piccie update....

decided to go head long with this rather than umming and arrrring about it!!!

so finalised my design and then scaled it up and traced it out...

then turned the trace back to front and carbonned the back for tranfer

then slowly retraced the design on the side of the bus and by doing so the carbon on the back of the trace is transfered onto the bus (thaks for the tip prosign!!! )

that took about 2 hrs per side.... not to mention the fair few hours to draw the design int he first place!!!
anyway...decided to crack on with some paint.... didnt get very far but gonna do a full day on it tomorrow....

wish me luck.... :msn4:
