Excellent! Its an Italian van as well.

I predict an increase in CS membership - in Melbourne at least. How could you not see that driving past and not pay it much attention

Thanks all, its been a long road but I wanted it done well and as I found, there are a lot of dodgy coyboys in the sign writing game! I knew pretty quickly that the young guys at Mediapoint were the ones that I wanted to work with, they were quick to respond to queries, knew their product, did it in-house and were great to deal with.

I think it is a testament to some peoples photoshop skills (and possibly the product itself) that the actual photos of the finished artwork could easily be another entry.

Andy puffs his chest out with a proud, nearly smug look and says:

I took the photos! The stock photograpy site wanted US$500+ for the picture of the cup and similar for the picture of the beans so I spent a couple of hours taking pictures in the driveway at home with a tripod, some black material and lump of board. Natural light photos are the best "studio shots" if you do it on an overcast day. The hardest was walking from the coffee machine with the espresso without sloshing it up the cup.

Do you have to re-mount your DIY rear-view camera?

I still need to cut a hole in the sticker for it (well spotted Brett) its only 30mm odd and wont stand out too much.

is that WOW in the cup?

No, but its the same coffee as the beans in the photo...
(next guess?)

Very cool Andy.
Look forward to seeing it in real life next week at the pickup.

The CoffeeSnobs van has a wrap at last!






















Jason and Jamie at Mediapoint in Melbourne did the work while I was up in Port Macquarie and we picked it up late Thursday night when I got back (they were still open thanks to the odd small business hours that we all run).  Give the guys at Media Point a call if you are in the market for sign writing http://www.mediapoint.com.au

It looks even better in real life!

The first CoffeeSnob to spot it on the road was Tim, I had only driven it for 10 minutes when he rang my mobile to say "WOW, just drove past the van, it looks awesome"

We changed the design a little from the original comp winner that Sparrow and Goodies put together, the map of the world looked like off milk in test prints so I swapped it for an espresso shot and we simplified the "message" so that in 2 seconds the viewer should get that we are local, online and this is where to find us.

Now I can find a small positive to getting stuck in traffic now... and I have to be a good boy when driving it.
