Got sick of our old graphics and told our designer to "just do something fun" We printed it on our JV3 and cleared with clearshield VG on ControlTac. It took 2 of us about 4 hours to apply. I am thinking about swapping this out every 3 months with a completely new layout. It has already brought in a couple of good jobs.

That's nice, a wrap that makes some sense. So many full wraps are so bloody busy that a person can't make heads or tails of what's going on. This one I like, well done. [Applause]

Don't you know wraps are supposed to have 85 different textures and use every last Photoshop filter you can download? There's no diamond plate, now swirly gradients, and no lens flares around the letters. You're not professional. A wrap job that's legible is a black eye on the industry.

Your right about wrap designs - we have even installed a few that I was embarrased to have in our shop (clients art). What a waste of money to have something that you cant even read.

Bob altered our logo a bit to a History Channel theme and the tag line is "Explore the possibilities". You dont want to know how hard it is to sand through the clearcoat and ink to fix a typo without screwing up the whole print [Smile]
- not fun but it turned out good.

Brian,

I would love it if you did a step-by-step on what it took to create the wrap from from the beginning.

How did you find the artwork, what it took to get it to an acceptable form for printing and so on.

It would make for a terrific SignCraft article.

Thats 4 hours with 2 people which is moving pretty quick but we had the prints ready to go and the truck mostly clean - still had to wipe it down and get the crevices, etc which takes some time.

Brian, that's awesome! I really like how the "burnt edges" pull off nicely next to the white base.

Really slick! Great showcase of your talent as mobile advertising. I'll bet you get more than just a few jobs off that piece.
