Vinyl logos for cars: pimp up your business!

A full-color custom design can include lettering, a logo, the business name and, even a call to action. When displayed prominently on a car door, back windshield, or bumper they garner hundreds or thousands of impressions a day, giving your business and brand valuable exposure.

In a company’s identity, the logo performs a variety of crucial functions:

  • Presents your business to the target market.
  • Shapes the brand image and creates a first impression.
  • Sets your company apart from competitors.
  • Informs the audience about your products and services.
  • Attracts attention to the brand and becomes memorable.
  • Increases consumer loyalty and trust.
  • Motivates the audience to collaborate specifically with you.

Moreover, you can choose a vinyl logo that precisely reflects your corporate style and business goals. Here are the most popular types that are hard to ignore:

  • Wordmark: A unique word characterizing your business, emphasizing font and colors (vinyl lettering).
  • Lettermark: An excellent way to concisely convey the long name of your company, making it easy and quick to remember.
  • Symbolic: The opportunity to stylize it as a sign of the main product or service, especially in global trade.
  • Abstract: An image that evokes associations specifically with you.
  • Talisman or emblem: A character representing your company in the market.
  • Combined: A harmonious combination of text and graphics for a non-standard result.

Not only are they attractive, but they are also weather-resistant and highly affordable; customers can choose from either opaque decals or block color decals that last between 5 and 7 years.

Why place a logo on your car?

If you’re still unsure whether to customize your car with a decal is worth it, here are several reasons why it might be the best option for your business:

Affordable advertising

The cost of vehicle decals is significantly lower than applying a corporate image or business name with paint on a car door and other parts. By spending less money, you get a truly effective advertisement that grabs the attention of potential customers and reminds existing ones of your company every day.

Easy to install and remove

Applying personalized car decals is quite simple and doesn’t take much time, especially when handled by a professional. The same applies to removing car graphics – simply use a hair dryer or heat gun to warm the surface, then peel off the vinyl image and clean any remaining adhesive with a detergent.

Durable

The vinyl used for a decal is sufficiently durable. This means that custom graphics applied to a window, glass, or other surface of your car are resistant to scratches and the impact of weather conditions. Snow, rain, or prolonged exposure to UV rays won’t spoil the appearance of car decals – they will continue to delight you with color, brightness, and clarity, just like on the first day of application!

Highly customizable graphics

Customizable templates of vinyl lettering will help in creating your own design for future stickers – resulting in genuine artwork! The concept of a custom car decal can be anything you like – logo, brand name, images – the key is that it appeals to you! Moreover, special equipment ensures high-quality vinyl images, directly influencing their lifespan.

Personalizes your vehicle and helps it stand out

Vinyl lettering is perhaps the best option to present yourself favorably among competitors and make sure you are remembered. A bright and beautiful image undoubtedly attracts attention. So, the chance of going unnoticed is simply not there!

Won’t damage the paintwork

Applying a decal to the car door and other parts does not affect the integrity of the paintwork. Furthermore, a car decal, to some extent, acts as a protective layer, preventing scratches or fading of the paint.

All these advantages make custom car decals popular among many business owners who want to communicate to a wide audience and present their company as effectively as possible.

Are vehicle logos effective?

Yes, studies have shown custom decals to be highly effective as a form of outdoor advertising. There is of course an upfront cost involved in designing and printing a customized decal but once it is applied to the car, it can remain for 5 to 7 years with no extra costs or maintenance required.

Also, one of the indicators of the effectiveness of such advertisements is the audience reach. Just think about how many people per day can see car logo decals if the vehicle is moving throughout the city. Not to mention interstate trips!

Different types of custom car decals

  • Window decals
  • Car door decals
  • Bumper decals
  • Different car decal finishes
  • Metallic vinyl finish
  • Reflective vinyl finish
  • Fluorescent vinyl finish
  • Iridescent vinyl finish
  • Carbon fiber vinyl finish

The Tinting Chicago team is ready to provide comprehensive consultation regarding vehicle decals and assist in choosing the most suitable car sticker option.

Steps for applying a vehicle decal

Car decals can be applied to any smooth surface on a car, including the bodywork and the windows. They’re best applied by professionals who have years of experience and know exactly how to ensure the sticker is centered, straight, and contains no air bubbles. Here are the steps that Tinting Chicago specialists perform to install a custom car decal.

  1. Washing the glass using soap and water or rubbing alcohol to ensure that the surface for placing vinyl graphics is as smooth as possible. This is crucial because any dirt or dust between the sticker and the top layer of the car will negatively impact the final result. The car decal may not adhere well to the surface of the vehicle or even peel off quickly.
  2. Applying away from direct sunlight and only when the temperature is above 50°F and below 90°F. Adhering to this rule allows for the quality application of stickers on the car door or window.
  3. Using the masking tape to position sticker correctly. This ensures that the custom car decal takes the desired position, eliminating any sliding of the vinyl image.
  4. Lifting the sticker, as if on a hinge, and peel away the backing. This is quite simple – just pull one of its edges.
  5. Using a squeegee to get rid of any air bubbles or ridges. Smoothing out vinyl car decals in this way ensures better adhesion to the car’s surface for the best result.
  6. Making sure the vinyl logo is absolutely perfectly installed! It’s visible to the naked eye: if the car graphics are installed correctly, there won’t be any external flaws, such as air bubbles.

Overall, placing custom car decals is relatively simple and fast. However, this is only the case if an experienced professional does the application. Self-installation of car decals can be disappointing if you have never done it before.

Durability of vinyl car decals

High-quality vinyl car decals are extremely durable, lasting between 5 and 7 years on a vehicle. They’re designed for indoor or outdoor use, meaning they’re able to withstand extreme weather conditions.

Looking after custom vinyl lettering on cars

Taking care of your own car decals doesn’t require significant financial investment or special skills, making it manageable even for beginners. To do this, you should:

  • Wash graphics regularly. This will help preserve the color saturation of personalized car decals for a long time.
  • Remove dirt and grease as quickly as possible. Dried-up dirt can embed itself more deeply into the surface of vinyl stickers, complicating the process of getting rid of it later.
  • Wash with detergent and a soft lint cloth. This ensures that vinyl lettering remains undamaged, preserving its original appearance.
  • Don’t scrub using anything abrasive. This prevents the occurrence of scratches, which can later lead to the formation of tears, compromising the integrity of the image.
  • Add a layer of protection by applying a silicone Teflon-based polish. This method helps protect the appearance and quality of the car decal, ensuring it performs its function for as long as possible.

By following these simple rules of proper care, you can extend the lifespan of custom vinyl decals, saving you money on repeated reapplications.

Frequently
Asked Questions

Custom car decals won’t ruin your paintwork so long as they’re installed and removed with care, using the correct tools. It’s more likely that custom decals will protect, rather than damage the paintwork beneath them.

No, high-quality vinyl logos for cars shouldn’t fade in the sun, even after years of application to your vehicle. The vinyl they are made from is designed to repel the sun’s UV rays and keep colors looking vivid and bright.

If you have an idea of how you want your custom car decal to look and you’re working with an experienced graphic design team, it can take just a matter of hours to create custom car decals.
