Looks great Doeboy,

Typically on glass Ill take a razor blade to it, especially after having another decal.. Seems like no matter how much you clean it still leaves glue residue, Maybe it was from the old decal. Spraying the window down and flattening out a blade seems to work well for cleaning all the fine particles off of glass

looks like you still got some room for "need a custom sticker?". surely pops.

when applying/ push harder. if your window was totally clean of all residues and was nice and smooth you should have not had any bubbles esp. wet app.

u dont think "need a custom sticker" would make it too full?

Looks good yeah just push harder and you shouldnt have any bubbles you could also pop the bubbles with a neddle to realease the air trapped underneath the decal.......... :lol::rolleyes:

Great job  :lol::rolleyes:

One of the reasons for what appears to be glue residue that wont come off, is that it's not glue, but a mild form of sandblasting.   Over time wind and dust will effect any area not covered by the decal, causing a very slight form of sand blasting, and it doesn't matter how hard you try, or what chemicals you use it wont come off, it's etched in.

Ok I am going to say this like someone following you in a car, this is NOT meant to hurt feelings but hopefully give you insite to what others (possible clients) may think.

The first one is great as is the 2nd - however the plus to the first is the fact that you say what you do, the name of the business and the phone number.

The second one is more eye catching - however you now have there attention but they have no idea what you do!  To me the name sounds like a spa or a computer store and I would not call to find out.  Also I love the color red but you have a chance here to make a huge impact on anyone that sees this so I would make an investment into holographic vinyl and a silver or gold for the inner part of the lettering.  Those stars are awesome but setting them off with holographic vinyl and having gold lettering with a red boarder - people would see you for friggin miles!!!

Personally I think that your work is welly thought out but just go go over the top with a little tweeking.  Dont forget they are going to want to know what you do as well as your name a phone number - stickers to me is kinda generic...  Nice job! :police:

Some good points. The red by itself almost blends in with the rest of the truck. I would at least do the phone number in a different color to make it stand out, and like others added, add something that lets people know what your business is.

Not the best, but here's what I have on the back window of my van:

I agree it does look good but people need to know why to call.... to me I dont want people to remember my log i want them to remember my number and what I do.

I suggest adding the "need a custom decal?" as well... Image Solutions sounds like a photography company, not a decal company. Let the public know what your company does with that quick, short, and to the point message. Plus, adding white stars and outline would REALLY make the company name pop!

+1..... needs alittle more color & what you do.

Awesome graphic   :police:

This has probably already been mentioned, but you're highlighting the wrong parts of the message.  Your new decal is really sweet, but it doesn't tell us anything about your company.

Also, I recently installed a windshield banner on a client's car, and it was riddles with bubbles (dry application using centerfold method).  I suspect the reason is that the window glass was too hot.  Perhaps this is why yours is bubbling as well?

I have that same problem. I have been finding that about a month after I put the vinyl down the bubbles go away. I think that may be due to the heat. I live in the Houston area and we have been getting some high temps lately.

PLEASE tell me the name of the font you used. I just did a company logo on a truck with three more to do and some extra decals. I had to hand trace their company name from their business card because I couldn't find the font.

Anyway, I think the vinyl work looks great!  ;D ;D ;D:angel:;D

i like the second design, but i think schram is right about the holographic vinyl. you could have layed some holo on those stars (i love the 3d effect they have) and made them really pop! then size the name of your biz down a little to make room for "need a custom sticker?". just my two pennies.
