While We Are Living In A Weather Armageddon, I Have More Pressing Issues.
The traditional look.
In my quest to get more familiar with the vinyl plotter. I have now started on the 1958 Chevy Truck. I am conflicted between two directions. One more traditional, the other that follows a sort of design rule. An argument could be made for both directions. And of course because this is the internet, no real conclusion will be made. But, your options are to go outside and clean up whatever hell was dumped or blew on you. Or this? I choose this? YIKES, 70mph winds last night here.
Logo Door, Drop us a line vs Just Call.
AND below are some of the endless design options. And trust me, I have tried more. Variations are endless.
A more branded look
Color with wheels red
White wheels
The variations are endless. Here are the two arguments.
- The first traditional design is how it would have been done by a sign painter back in the 1950’s, thats it.
- The Other options are as if the logo had been done back in the 1900’s and just carried on and so on. And fits all the other design rules of the logo mark. See? Not so easy is it. I sure love me some graphic standards. UGH.
Color with red wheels, hands down! It is reminiscent of that time period. Cool, gotta shovel!
Since when have you ever worried about rules and standards. #4, it’s got the right look and old boats, old parts and old farts is epic!
As an artist but a sailor, Dan’s right.

I’m a less is more guy. Old school #1 is my pick, however they all look great.
Matt, sorry the weather is so rainy and cold you can’t work in a cold drafty and unheated railway shop. Can’t wait until you graduate to a 3D printer to see what havoc you can unleash on the WB universe. Or maybe the entire universe.
Me thinks we’re watching both an Antique And a Billboard – –
Enjoy the blending process – –
I agree with Dan, Greg, Gary & Tom.
Chicken!!!
I like the red accents.
However even though I like the “old Farts” comment it sure in NOT going to attract the young’uns that you are always referring to.
May I also suggest, in the your future endless design option requests, that you add a number or letter to each design photo. So the jury can say…..I like # 4, or # 3 sucks.
I’m with Art here – lose the “Old Farts” – not attractive to women or the younger generation. I like the more elaborate door graphics but would keep the rest of the truck pretty clean. Door graphics, white wheels and that’s it to my eye… 🙂
Red wheels are OK, just the door sign please. Keep it simple like it was in the ’50s. Drop the line after the phone number, if we can’t read it here, no one else can ether. Interesting, the GL is probably short for Glencourt, that I had growing up in Bellevue, WA.
I like “Drop us a Line” Since you are a fishing community and the railway services fishing boats. With that said, you could draw an accent line (as an underline) with a hook on the end of it.
Choice number one keep it simple. Keep it classic..
#1 traditional. If you can’t read it all when you are driving by, you are putting too much information on there. The K.I.S.S. method applies here.
Amidst weather chaos, the dilemma of choosing the right look for a 1958 Chevy Truck unfolds. Traditional vs. design rules sparks debate with endless variations. A nostalgic nod to the ’50s sign painter or a journey from the 1900s? The struggle is real, and graphic standards come into play. While nature wreaks havoc, the quest for the perfect logo continues.

I am so confused?
50’s graphics and red wheels. Keep it authentic.
