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?

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..

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.

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?
