Yes to landline, some people dont like ringing mobiles, plus a landline shows you actually have a permanent base.

The logo looks a lot better in blue as it is in your avatar.

Great stuff Theres a lot to be for those chevrons . We had some decent A boards done a few years ago . One with chevrons and one without . The chevron style did create more attention ? . All good until it got nicked . Stick some chevrons on the rear doors .

Looks very professional, dont spoil it by leaving out a landline, soon as i see an advert or vehicle with only a mobile number immediately i think PIKEY.

Re: Opinions please men

Thanks for all the comments lads.

We will probably go back to the designer and swap the Safecontractor logo on the side door of the van to the front door and move the telephone numbers up there plus increase the size of the lettering.

The chevrons would look great on the back doors also, not sure how to squeeze them in there though, whilst increasing the size of the telephone numbers at the same time...

The blue logo will deffo stand out more though I agree, I thought about getting the van sprayed black just for the silver logo... must stay off the beer when making business decisions...
