Opinions please? Truck logo choices

I would like some opinions from you guys out what I should do as far as logoing my truck. I currently have two business card type magnets on each side of the truck, but I'm thinking of doing large vinyl letters like the ones on my trailer in the attached pictures. I'm also curious to get some opinions on my new wheels and tires. I recently bought them from a Tundra owner and wrapped them w/ Yokohoma Geolanders. I've been looking for the dark gray wheels for a while, and I finally got some. Thanks!

Nice rig. The rims looks nice. I think it would look better if you would use vinyl. However, is this only your work/business truck? Vinyl of course is more permanent.

It's going to be both my DD and my work truck, but I don't see anything wrong w/ always advertising. LOL!

Re: Opinions please? Truck logo choices

I ended up going pretty low key since its a DD as well.

Company name and tag line in the rear windows.


Then this in the rear windows. The far section out of view has my website and phone number on it in a line to match the size of mobile auto detailing.

Bradley..the rims and tires look awesome....those are the same tires I have picked out when I change mine....I have a wholesale account from work and they are cheap...

As far as going Vinyl or just a door magnet..thats a hard call...the sign now looks good.and is removable when you want just a plain truck..your trailer has a nice advertisement on it..

If it were me I would just use the door sign...just remember to wipe the back off when you reapply it....I do not think I would like my truck as a billboard...but thats just me...

Thanks AL! I'm really anal about having things look good and match, so I'll probably go w/ the matching vinyl. The Geolanders are really good looking tire.

Re: Opinions please? Truck logo choices

The trailer looks great , nice big lettering that you can read from afar. A good rule to follow is if it can't be read when the vehicle is driving away from you it's worthless advertising .JMO I know alot of you might disagree with that but really if the lettering is to small to read 5 foot from it , how do you expect someone to read it from 20 yards.

There's nothing worse than trying to catch the name on a truck while it either passes you or from a distance. Another thing that gets me is people pick fancy lettering that you have a hard enough time reading smack in front of it , forget about trying to read it any farther.

Big as you can make and clear distinguishable lettering . Remeber not all your customers are going to be reading your moblie billboard when its parked .
