I finally figured out my Shop Truck Logo...

Just a thought.
How about C10-1967 for a phone number?

Tim, Your right. My mistake. It's not the city name, it's the exchange name. My bad.

ok, ok, sorry about the song virus, couldn't help it...

In all seriousness, I think the following things make a door logo look good:"
- Large enough to cover at least 3/4 of the height of the door
- Some color
- Hand-lettering
- SOME sort of design that smells vintage in the background.
- The phone number with no area code (by 67, most places no longer had the switchboard prefix - but if you like that approach, another option is: "BE0-774"
Now I'm REALLY dating my self. Hint: BE=Bensonhurst)
- And, last but not least, an "Est. 197x" or something like that. Pick a special year for yourself, doesn't really matter, or this year!
- And, REALLY last, but not least - if it's not going to be patina'ed, include some gold or silver leaf.

You may be right. Maybe it wasn't a uniform thing for all parts of the country. I know one thing, putting a name to it sure helped for remembering. I've forgotten about everything but that!

Since we are all custom designing your logo for you, I'd like t to comment on color. I would like to see some yellow in there against the blue...or maybe orange. Ok? Thanks I'm picturing signs with bowties and seeing yellow in there. I guess like the Super Service signs? A touch of red for accent as well. Or, orange with your blue would look good. You know, like the motors. I have these Tonka Toy sized pressed steel '69 Chevy Stepsides with GM plant markings on the doors. I'd have to check, but I believe they have yellow and white in the lettering. And don't forget the pinstripe accents I ordered. Do your own job and be proud of it, but maybe at a show where there's a pinstriper you could get him to do some outline and scroll striping (justa touch)

We got together and finalized the design. It's going to look awesome. He had to order the vinyl.

I also came up with an awesome tagline for the tailgate... Stay tuned....

You kill me! My B-I-L is a Gamecock fan. He does not take the jokes well...

And it seems that you are from my neck of the woods. I work in Harrison OH.

I'm Clemson Alumni, and I love my team, but when the Cocks won the college world series... a couple of times... I was happy for them (state pride and all). Doesn't mean I pulled for them... just means I was happy for them...

I have tickets to the Clemson games over the next couple of weekends and I hope to have the truck done by then...


Teaser shot... Stencil paint and hand shadow.

Y'all are gonna love the tagline I came up with!

[67ChevyRedneck]

Minus some shadowing... One side done.

[hammersmith]

Very cool. Good job

It looks great. I like your choice of background for the pic too.

It's a local small town place in Greer, SC. It had been dead for a long time, but in the past few years it's started to boom again, really nice to see.

I put some much better (and close up) pics in my "1967 CST rebuild" thread in my signature.
