There are so many things you can do with this design. you can do more woodworky gimmicks, more tricks, etc. Somewhere you have to stop so you do not overdo it to the point where the sign is just too distracting to do what it is intended to do.
Especially at this size on a vehicle. this is small and has to work hard to do the job.

i would use a separate piece on bottom where moisture congregates that you can replace if needed.

I'm racking my brain here trying to remember where I just recently saw a photo online of a pickup with a nice sign like this. It had an 'old timey' feel with a nice carving on it.

Michael, sorry.....there ALL butt ugly.
I think your missing the point. Your too concerned
with getting every bit of information on it.
You need to put this picture on a picture of the truck. UGLY no matter what the truck looks like.
You need to "MAKE THE TRUCK LOOK GOOD".
This all looks homemade.
The design is WAY more important than any fancy carving.
Might be time to spend a tiny amount of money
and have something designed for you, so you can be proud to show.

My favorite thusfar is this one you submitted earlier today.

The single dimensional graphic conveys your skill.

Your business name and contact info is easily read.

The additional details of the type of work you do is also easily read but secondary to the above info.

I'm a signmaker and have made hundreds of dimensional signs and have no doubt others will legitimately differ in their opinions, but this is mine.

To me, the abundance of negative space in the sign says you are talking to me instead of yelling.

Of course my wife disagrees with me, and she's the one with real design credentials.

Eric, look at the "Vinyl Signs" thread.
