Objectives
The key objectives of the project were to:
1. Wrap three new transporter vans with their refreshed branding.
2. Rebrand 12 existing vehicles, including Citroën Berlingo vans, a Ford Connect, and a Peugeot Expert panel van.
3. Extend the branding to additional vehicles added to their fleet after the initial phase.
4. Apply high-quality branding to internal lockers to ensure durability and maintain a professional appearance over time.
Challenges
Brand Consistency: Ensuring uniform branding across a mixed fleet of new and older vehicles required careful planning and execution.
Durability: Locker branding needed to withstand heavy use while maintaining a pristine appearance.
Coordination: Balancing the input and approval of HMHS, Definition Consulting, and Signs Express required a collaborative and efficient approach.
The Finished Product
The project was carried out in multiple stages:
1. Initial Phase: Signs Express used vectored artwork to complete the wrapping of three transporter vans and light rebranding on the older vehicles.
2. Additional Fleet Work: Following the initial success, further rebranding was completed for four Ford Connects and two Ford Customs, demonstrating HMHS's confidence in Signs Express.
3. Locker Wrapping: Full branding was applied to the internal lockers, maintaining the consistency of HMHS’s refreshed identity across their operations.
