Shop Truck Wrap

If this were my truck, and I were going with this theme, The only thing that would really make sense to me is to lose the logo you have on there now, and substitute it with an alternate version of your logo that looks like authentic nose art. Perhaps you could use some period accurate scripts. Maybe even a sexy pinup. I would lose the diamond plate and make it look as though the graphics were painted on. Using a bit of transparency to your lettering and graphics, and allowing the panels and rivets to show through, will give it the illusion that the graphics were painted on.

Not sure If that would help your brand as a whole, but I'm unsure how this airplane look helps your brand. My thought is if you going to commit to that look, do it all the way and do it right. Google search nose art for some ideas and put your own twist on it.

+1. Joe nailed it.

Themed to look like the Warbird X275 drag car. Which is mega-kewl.

Yes I'm a racer. It's the only way I would know about this car.

And I agree with Joe. You got the foundation now do the branding with a "nose art" inspired theme. There are lots of resources including cd's and dvd's with the proper graphics to build 'nose art".

Joe beat me to it. I think a pinup would look great.
You could also blow up the bulldog pic real big and use that.
As for the diamond plate, doing it in gold seems extra tacky.
The font used for your city/state is very unprofessional looking. As has been said, use the same as for Captain Tom.
Also, doing it in white makes it virtually invisible.
I would darken the red stripe to a maroon and change the white stars to navy.
As for your logo itself, it really lacks pizazz.
I'd make "OLSON" in caps and lower case, and make sure the outlines on Olson and SIGNS are the same thickness.
You don't need a texture on everything. You have it on the background, in the stripe, the name, and even in the city/state.
Just because you can doesn't mean you should.
If every element is highlighted, nothing stands out.
Love....Jill

There is nothing original about this airplane look. It's been done so many time, my son even have a hot wheel mustang with the same look with the shark mouth in front. And diamond plate too? Are you getting all this template from Aroura Graphic CD? Arizona wraps had a scion that was wrap to look like a tank back in the day that was tight.

your logo is weak, it does not go well with the theme of the wrap. Like cdiesel mentions, it should incorporate into the wrap.

Joe brings up a great point, if you are going to do it, do it all the way with period correct type, imagery...

umm, why is the star upside down?

Here is a quick suggestion, I was too lazy to draw the background, etc, and my verbiage may be off.

Didn't mean to put the star upside down... Anyway nobody likes the Diamond Plate but me I guess so it goes. Turns out we're going 180 on this and going to go with the original "Captain America" theme just like the Van to make them similar in design.

Also, the AirPlane Skin might be widely used, but in this area I've only seen it used once.

As for the logo: Its been part of our company now for 3 years. Its easy to read, simple and easy to duplicate on either one color or two color designs.

Jill Beans and others thanks for the feedback. Pat, if I wasn't interested in any ones feedback, I wouldn't have posted and I wouldn't be changing it.

I'll be creating a "Captain America" theme and posting for thoughts. Thanks Everyone.

I know its a little late.. Looks good to me, but what do I know im an unknown newbie.. yeah I might not prefer your company logo styling for myself.. but besides that... I look at the full truck pic and like it.

who cares if people in the sign business thing the airforce jet theme has been done too many times... Ive never seen a wrapped vehicle with it, if I saw this truck locally, id think "looks good" and you can see the lettering on the bed good from a distance, so one would know its a sign company
