Just think of your favorite sports car. All those nooks, crannies and curves have to be taken into careful account when designing the right vehicle signs for your fleet.

When it comes to the actual design of your vehicle signs, remember that your artwork needs to be read at a variety of speeds and distances. You want something that is easy to understand and visually pleasing whether your vehicle is parked or driving down the highway. Here are a few tips to keep in mind while in the design stage of your vehicle signs / wrap:

Keep your messages direct and simple. The more information, the less people will remember.
Use big, easy to read text. Script font is very pretty…on wedding invitations… barely readable on a vehicle.
Choose a simple colour scheme that’s eye-catching, where there is a high contrast between the background and the text. Even neon can look great when kept simple.
Avoid placing major design elements like logos or words around major curves or molding on the vehicle.
Keep in mind where the seams of the vinyl will fall. A professional installer will do everything he or she can to make the seams look invisible, however it does all starts with the design.
