logo and sign writing colours

[atm84]

So guys what colours go best together? Currently looking at blue writing on blue back ground for vans and blue on black for the shirts (black t shirts). Had thought about black vans but not sure they would stand out anymore and prob cost more and harder to find than a white van.

I want to stay away from green as its more associated with renewables (not saying that's a bad thing) or gardeners.

Had thought about using red instead of blue.??

What colours/signing writing do you guys use? Does it stand out??

for a start, blue on blue will not stand out.

Sorry that was meant to say blue on White back ground for the vans.

my van is sign written in black on a white van. very simple, but for readability, black is easiest IMO

Yes that's true black is easiest but not sure about how recognisable from a distance. Many companies stand out simply because of the colour and sign writing not necessarily be chase of what it says.

on white, black is surely the easiest to read from a distance?! hence black letters on number plates, sign posts etc...
also, don't have too much written all over it. just the basics. when you drive past someone and they see it, they won't have much time to remember what they saw!

the easiest colours for the human eye to distinguish between is yellow on black
