Custom Car Creations for Cutegecko
Start With A Blank Canvas and See Where Artistic Vehicle Graphics Can Lead You
To start vinyl vehicle graphics the best jump off point is a clean car, without any markings or dirt to hinder adherence. When it looks fresh you will be able to picture what you want on your automobile and where you want it placed. This is how the concept for the Cutegecko Design Agency began.
As you have may have noticed in earlier posts, Karl & Amy of Cutegecko Inc. are great #B2B partners here in our community. We love working with designers to transform their designs into artistic signs. This time we were applying their logo and lettering to their new car. Once they provided us with their design concept, it didn’t take long for Ben, our vinyl master to get to work on colour matching and vinyl plotting. Their Fiat was made into a mobile branding billboard in no time flat.
Make A Mobile Masterpiece
It is important to remember that your car travels where you travel. It is really important to let it represent you and your business. Driving a rusty clunker is not the best way to display your professionalism. Finding a way to stand out from your surroundings is always the way to go. Would you notice this driving by?
Find What Drives You
What would make you stand out? What would your vehicle look like with vinyl graphics? Would you want window decals? These are just some of the questions that Karl & Amy asked themselves when they came up with their ideas. You can read about what they learned over on their post for Promotional Vehicles.
We Have The Answers
If you still have questions on the best way to brand your company car, make sure to contact us. We’re here to help from concept to completion. Who knows you might get to Hi-Five our vinyl master too!
De – VINYL Intervention Using Vinyl Graphics and Decals
The Change-Up
Sometimes the simplest items can be transformed with just a few additions. A great example of this is a stainless steel bar fridge becoming a collector’s item by adding a few artistic extras to the front of it.
This hum-drum, run of the mill appliance came in looking like this
and with the addition of some digitally printed vinyl graphics, will be leaving as the showpiece for upcoming Super Bowl giveaway at a local establishment. The artistic sign decals transformed the bar fridge into a promotional product, branded to advertise the business doing the giveaway.
Changing the outside of the refrigerator door, did not change how the appliance works, but gave it a unique look and changed it into a “collectible”
All it takes is a little inspiration to change everyday items into “must have” and “one of kind” items. The use of vinyl decals and digitally printed vinyl graphics can transform the ordinary to the extraordinary.
Simple Steps To Using Vinyls
- Know what type of surface you’re applying your vinyl to
- Make sure to measure (& then measure again)
- Take time to consider the colour scheme surrounding the object
- Ensure your vinyls are applied by a professional
Somethings Are Better Left To The Imagination
Not every surface should be left untouched. The Jennifer Brouwer Design Blog featured chalkboard paint as a design element. Chalkboard paint can be messy if not applied to a properly sanded surface. Why not try it vinyl form? Chalkboard vinyl is the newest addition to our vinyl lineup. Now it has me pinning what projects would look great in our new Chalkboard Vinyl. Check out our Pinterest Board USES FOR CHALKBOARD VINYL .
So whether you need window graphics, vehicle branding or just looking to spruce things up, think about how you can implement some vinyl into your next project and stage your own De – vinyl intervention.
Does Your Branding Travel With You? Try Artistic Signs In The Form Of Vinyl Vehicle Graphics
On The Road Again
If you run a business there is a good chance you are also running to meetings, and by running I mean driving. How much time does your vehicle spend on the road each day? How many different streets to do you travel on? How many people do you pass by?
Those are all questions to consider when thinking of extending your branding to your vehicle. When you stop and think about it, your vehicle is more than your mode of transportation, it’s an extension of your business. Choosing the graphics for your motor vehicle is just as important as selecting a the right size of car/truck/van to meet your needs.
What Do You Want To Be Remembered By?
Here are 5 things that you should think about when deciding on your vehicle graphics
-
Will it stand out on a moving vehicle?
-
Is it designed to look appealing when parked?
-
Does it have quick contact info? (IE website, social networks, and/or phone number)
-
Is the logo memorable?
-
Are the graphics a good reflection of what you specialize in?
Other things to consider are colours, durability and placement. There are also options of auto-body or car window graphics. Small details such as using reflective lettering can make a difference in your vehicle’s visibility to the public.
Where would Lightning McQueen be without his Rust-eze logo?
How else would you know to hide out from the Stride Gum Advertising Team?
and what makes this car look so familiar?

If you are using the vehicle for promotional purposes it is important that you choose eye-catching brand design. Artistic signs in the form of vehicle graphics are a great way to grab attention and display what your business specialty is.
Whether you find yourself on the Lost Highway, Route 66 or The Freeway Of Love make sure that you are getting the most out of your transportation investment by making your mobile branding memorable.
