[LaRue Medlin]

I want to wrap my van since I can't get a Transit Connect,, so what do you think. I've been playing with ps and got what I think looks pretty good. Opinions, suggestions... Be honest, but don't kill me... :smack:



DUMPED the 1st pic, flag was noooo good ROSE LIKES THE NEW #1 BETTER TOO.

One suggestion, people are driven to web addresses anymore.



The phone number is important but unless they write it down or dial it NOW, it is not logical to think they will remember it.



They do tend to remember LOGICAL and LEGIBLE web addresses.



If the address is your company name, use Capital letters for each word as it helps to read it.

 

[Todd Z]

I like the second as is.....

 

[Robert Thomas]

Second one. The whole beach scene looks good and catches the eye.



Good Job on the workup.

 

[Dave King 2]

Second one much better.

 

[gary s]

agree w/ coastie on the phone number.

i like # 2 as imo, the beach scene is to busy.



on a side note, i was at my reps ford dealer yesterday and i can get a nicely equipped t-connect for just a tad over 20K. a great price for a nice vehicle.

if you are interested, contact me for fleet pricing. they are giving very good fleet incentives on 10's.



good luck

old #2 is nicer,,, I just couldn't get the flag to look right on old #1.. Now I like the new #1 so much better... Hey,,, Rose even likes this one....

I also like the second one.

and I agree with Coastie, Web addresses are easier to remember than a phone number

unless you have one of those numbers you can create a jingle out of and play

constantly on the Radio....1-800-locksmith.....

 

[Clay Campbell]

I know someone who will print that for you!!!

 

[Steve McKellop]

Second one is my choice also.

I want to wrap my van since I can't get a Transit Connect,,

Why? Cost issue I understand. Availability, they ARE around. Had mine 4 weeks come Monday and have 4065 miles on it.Sure saves $$$ on fuel!



Let me tell you, 25+ mpg is a whole lot better than my 08 E250 @ 14-15 mpg. So far I have put everything into my TC that I put into the E250. Now, it's flat packed on Tuesdays but that little van is huge on the inside. You, with your local business could save a chunk with a TC. Sure saves $$$ on fuel! People laugh, point, make rude/crude comments since they're not used to seeing them but that's okay. The 2.0 I-4 is no powerhouse and there's a hole between 1st & 2nd so you DO NOT pull out in traffic until you have plenty of space. It would benefit greatly from a 5-speed auto like the Trac! Sure saves $$$$$ on fuel ........ or did I say that already.

Steve,,, I spent over 2 weeks measuring every nook and cranny in a TC and I have rebuilt my van interionr to fit it. That way when and if I do ever get one, my stuff will transfer over. Problem right now is I owe 4k more than I can get on trade. Plus the market her right now is really bad for resale. Plus with my luck, I'd sell my E150 and I couldn't get the TC financed. Dammed if I do,,, Dammed if I don't. I STILL WANT A TC! If I knew I could drive somewhere within a day and be garunteed the trade and not have a payment more than I have now,,,, ROAD TRIP!

I also vote for #2. Much better looking,

Along the vein that Kevin mentioned about people remembering web site names easier than phone numbers, the name must be easy to read.



Maybe, in person the name on the truck is easy to read, but just looking at the photo, I found it difficult to read with all the clutter of the white surrounding the red letters. If I was driving by, I might not have enough time to really read what it says before having to turn my head back to my driving.



Maybe if the white was a solid banner instead of following the contour of each letter. Notice how much easier it is to read your company name against the solid white in the key shape above it.

LaRue, let me give you a tip or two just in case. Get the XLT so you'll have remote entry and get the side door windows. They can put the "see-thru" material on them to still have the full side graphics. Even with the side glasses I still had to add a mirror to the drivers side because of the left rear blind spot. Without the sliding door glasses vision would be terrible. Do not get the Ford sponsored wrap, heard nothing but nightmares about them. The radios suck, the hands free bluetooth is worse and that makes me seriously doubt the Work Solution is any better. They had a red one in Greenville I really wanted but that didn't work out.:cry:

 

[Bob McDonald]

The (now) # one looks much better. I can easily read the wording of the web site. Go for it.

 

[gary s]

i agree w/ steve.

the t-connect is great.

i had one for a week and it was much more then i expected.

ford is discounting 10's and w/fleet rebates the nicely equipped tc's are just over 20K.

.....and they'll rebate you like $1000 for any upfit!

 

[Dave King 2]

The new #1 is much better. I can clearly read the web address. The web address in red is very hard to make out.

 

[Les]

Agree with itchy, but I do like the red accents. Maybe change the red to the font in #1.

 

[Kevin Palmer]

No matter which you go with, you want the web address nice and clear like it is in picture number 1. If it is not clear, then it is senseless having it at all....



I have seen where they will make the first letter of each word larger so it is easy to "read" it. However, in #1 I think it is clear enough that is is not an issue as they will also read your business name and know what it says..
