On my latest project I am considering lettering it. I am looking for different design ideas. I have googled shop trucks and didn't see anything I'd like. All I know as I'd like to have Zieg85 and Hebron, IN and maybe a truck in the 73-87 longbed in the middle... Any artists out there???
-
Are you wanting this all on the same panel, like the door ? Or maybe door and front fender and split them up ?
-
Thinking the front of the bed or door.
-
Are you thinking true 3d or just a decal with lettering?
-
I am thinking a stencil that I could airbrush the letters on perhaps. Not ruling out any ideas though.
-
I see. My buddy owns a sign shop and does a lot of vehicle lettering and decals. If you decide to go that route I'll see if he can come up with something.

Thanks, still in the pondering stages. I'll try to put something down, take a picture and post it up and get you all's opinion of it...

Yes, maybe bigger block letters for the top and smaller at the bottom. Thanks
-

Zieg it is not for your ext cab is it?? Cause I have some reg cab square bodies that I already vectored, so I could have them embroidered on Dickie's work shirts. I could make a logo pretty easily if it does not need to be your ext cab. let me know
-
Here's a few examples of what I got, I also have vectored crew cabs too. My logo would not be in the final one obliviously (I just do that so they do not fly around the internet).

Here a straight on view that is just stenciled:

Here is one I used for my shirt, its a vector 70s chevy:

Not my extended cab. I like the straight shot, be better if it was a 85 grill. Zieg85 over the top block letter curved and Hebron, IN under straight across in smaller letters. How hard would it be to take a picture and turn it into part of a stencil? I have a straight on shot in my desktop I would like. It is a straight shot of my 85C20 that I like a lot.

My 2 cents, I agree the bottom letters need to be smaller than the top letters.

If you want it of your C20, because of a certain reason let me know, and I can try stenciling it depending on quality of photo and lighting. But here is it with a 80s grill. Let me know if there is something else you want. Once we get it way you like I will send you copy of the one with out my logo thru it.
Stencil with 80s grill:

That is the look, Zieg85 Bigger over the truck in bolder letters Z at the right fender 5 at the left. Hebron, IN is fine. GM Squarebodies between the bumper and town maybe?
-
I believe this is what you wanted, when you said fender to fender:
Here is one with stencil font:

I like the stencil font best, nice job. I'll let you know what size I am thinking. Probably letters in white, it is going on a red truck...
-
Here is what it would look like on the door of a red c20: (just got rid of side molding on door, because didn't think you had any)

Here it is in front of gas door like you talked about:

That I like. Check your email
-
I tried emailing but it failed. Letters like the attached for Zieg85 and make the picture of the truck 25% smaller
-
blazing816, that is some really nice work.
-
Zieg - Okay I will work on it tomorrow, it helps to have something to base off of what your looking for, because I have 10,000+ font/type faces on my computer.
Bake - Thanks, it is a passion of mine (graphic/web design and video editing). I had a lot of different angles and stuff store up when I was designing my custom squarebody embroidered work shirt I made, so was not too hard to adapt it to what Zieg wanted.
-
Okay here is the logo, with new block text and shrunk the truck 25%:

Here the truck where I think you like the logo:

And here was me "playing" and making it more "vintage" looking, if it is going on a shop truck, so it is not so pretty ;) :

Shrink the zieg85 and can the block letters be shadowed in black like the example I posted?

Perfect, can you put it on my truck bed?
-
hate to steal someones work, but im only doing this cause hes off line
-
just a ideal about a different angle of the truck

OH, I really like your truck better Irish, what about that blazing816? Also can you tweek the ZIEG85 letters as shorter but the same thickness with the shadows? I hope I am not being a pain...
-
If you like the side truck....I can put it in there. I personally like the front on pic better, because I find it different to have a side profile pic of a square body on the side of a square body. I like it more of just the iconic grille. But obliviously it is your truck so if Irish will put it up as attachment I will stick it in what I have. Once I get that I will work on the text....sorry took awhile, I do not get on here much on weekends, usually to busy.
All my side profile pics are in color for the custom shirts I have been making. So if Irish already has a stencil of side view and doesn't mind putting it up I will use it.
-
online now. i will try to post what your asking for zieg and blaz heres the attachment give me a minute to find them
-
here i didnt like the tires so i changed them up but i also kept the original
-
hows this? going to use photobucket so they look better

with a little tint

That looks great, thanks Irish. It will have to be a lot smaller to be in front of the gas door though on the other side.
-
imo it would have to be real (too) small to pop out and catch your eye. i would op for the doors or maybe somehow make the bed of the truck the same size as the fuel door. then have the seam between the cab and bed the same seam on the fuel door.
-
looks good Irish. I do not get on here a lot on weekends (Man of many jobs).

Here it is in front of gas door like you talked about:

Between the fuel door and front of bed is where I want to go with it. I don't have dual tanks but like the smaller logo
-
Here is the logo, on truck in front of gas tank.

That is awesome, I will let you know when I need them, there may be a change in the town. I just applied for a new job 1800 miles away.
