Top tips for vehicle signwriting
When you see an attractive sign or company name illustrated on the side of a vehicle, just know it was created by a sign writer. These signs often include lots of colors and graphics to get people’s attention. Every good business as a sign like this on their vehicle somewhere.
If you are thinking about getting signwriting done on your vehicle, there are some tips that you need to know first. These tips will help you make an effective sign that captures people’s attention in a positive way.
Tip # 1 – Brand Colors and Typeface
This cannot be emphasized enough. The way you get people to remember your company is by associating a particular typeface and color set with your brand. Once they see your vehicle a few times, the image of your company name will be ingrained into their brains. This will make them want to contact you to inquire about your products or services.
Tip # 2 – Hire a Professional
Do not try to do signwriting on your own. There are professional sign writers who make a living at creating signs for businesses. They are master illustrators, designers, and marketers who know how to make a brand image stand out on a vehicle. Most importantly, they can apply the paint or wrap properly as well.
Tip # 3 – Include Relevant Information
Signwriting is more than just putting the title of your company on a vehicle. You must also include your company logo and some basic contact information, such as your phone number, email address, social media handles, and street address. If you have any accreditations that may impress people, list those designations on the sign as well.
Tip # 4 – Keep it Simple
You certainly don’t want to overstuff your sign with too much information. The title, logo, and basic contact information should be it. People have short attention spans, especially on the road, so you don’t want to force them to remember too much information. Just keep it simple and let them remember enough to contact your business for further information.
Tip # 5 – See the Design First
Don’t jump ahead and put the design on your vehicle until you see a proof copy first. Even if you hire a professional, don’t always assume they are going to create the perfect design on their first try. Make sure you ask to see their design first so that you can confirm it matches your desires.
What our customers say

I found BossDog after searching on Yell.com and from the very start found them to be very accommodating. They turned around several designs for me within a very short period of time, each time I sent them back with small amendments a new design was back to me within an hour or two. I was very impressed with the artwork, the response time and the quality of the materials they used. I have been a heating engineer for 22 years and know exactly what you have to do to make sure your customers are 100% happy, BossDog did this. I would recommend them to anyone who needs this type of work to be carried out.
