Custom Vehicle Graphics Built Around Your Business
Your business vehicles are constantly moving through neighborhoods, commercial areas, job sites, and surrounding communities. Well-designed graphics can help people recognize your company and understand what you offer before they ever visit your location.
Equinox develops custom vehicle graphics around your brand, vehicle dimensions, viewing distance, and messaging priorities.
Depending on the vehicle and application, graphics can include business names, logos, contact information, service descriptions, promotional messaging, directional information, or branded visual elements.
For businesses with multiple vehicles, we can also coordinate the design across the fleet to create a consistent and professional appearance.
Vehicle Graphic Options For Commercial Fleets
Different applications provide different amounts of branding space. Your choice can depend on how much of the vehicle you want to use and how detailed the design needs to be.
Vehicle Wraps
Vehicle wraps use larger areas of the vehicle for graphics, imagery, and business information when broader visual coverage is required.
Fleet Wraps
Fleet wraps apply a shared visual concept across multiple company vehicles while adjusting each layout to the dimensions and body shape of the individual vehicle.

Partial wraps use selected vehicle panels or sections for graphics while leaving more of the original vehicle finish visible.
Fleet Branding
Fleet branding establishes a consistent visual system for logos, colors, typography, and key information across vehicles within the same business.

How Your Vehicle Graphics Project Moves From Design To Installation
Every commercial storefront sign project has its own property requirements, approval steps, and installation considerations. Our process keeps those details organized from the initial consultation through final installation.
Discuss Your Needs
We learn how the vehicle is used, what you want the graphics to communicate, and what you want the finished design to accomplish.
Develop The Layout
The design is planned around the vehicle's dimensions, surfaces, branding, and available space.
Review The Design
You can review the proposed layout before production and identify changes to the design, information, or placement.
Prepare For Production
After approval, the artwork and production requirements are coordinated according to the selected materials, dimensions, and application needs.
Complete The Installation
Installation requirements depend on the project scope and vehicle surfaces. The application must account for features that affect placement and finish.
Review The Finished Work
The completed graphics are checked against the approved design for placement and overall appearance.
One Point of Contact From Design Through Installation
Vehicle graphics involve more than approving artwork. Equinox coordinates the design, production requirements, and installation details while keeping you updated as the project moves forward, so you are not left managing separate vendors at each stage.
When additional production or installation support is needed, we can coordinate established partners while remaining your primary point of contact. Our installation resources include professionals with approximately 16 years and more than 20 years of experience in the signage industry.
Qualifying installation workmanship is also backed by a 12-month warranty, giving you a clear point of contact if an installation-related issue needs attention after the project is complete.
Plan Your Vehicle Graphics Project
Your business vehicles can do more than transport your team and equipment. With the right graphics, they can help customers recognize your company wherever your vehicles operate.
Whether you need custom vehicle graphics for one vehicle or coordinated fleet graphics across multiple commercial vehicles, Equinox Custom Signs can help you plan the project around your brand and business requirements.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are vehicle graphics?
Vehicle graphics are custom graphics applied to cars, vans, trucks, trailers, and other vehicles to display branding, business information, promotional messaging, or other visual content.
What are commercial vehicle graphics?
Commercial vehicle graphics are graphics created specifically for business-use vehicles. They can include company names, logos, contact information, services, branding, and other messaging intended to identify or promote a business.
What is the difference between vehicle graphics and a vehicle wrap?
Vehicle graphics can refer to individual lettering, decals, logos, partial graphics, or other applications placed on a vehicle. A vehicle wrap generally involves covering a larger portion or most of the vehicle’s exterior with printed material. The appropriate option depends on the desired coverage and project requirements.
Can vehicle graphics be used on leased vehicles?
They may be an option for some leased vehicles, but review your lease agreement before making modifications. Leasing providers may have their own requirements for vehicle graphics or other alterations.
How should a vehicle be prepared before graphics are applied?
The application surface should be clean and free of dirt, grease, wax, and other residue. Existing damage, peeling paint, or other surface conditions should also be identified before installation.
Can new graphics be applied over existing decals?
The existing decals and underlying surface should be evaluated first. The condition of the old material can affect removal, surface preparation, and the application of new graphics.
How long does a vehicle graphics project take?
Timing depends on the design, coverage amount, number of vehicles, production requirements, and installation needs. Larger fleet projects may require additional coordination.
Can graphics be designed for different vehicle models?
Yes, layouts can be adjusted for different vehicle sizes and body shapes. Doors, windows, handles, seams, and other features should be accounted for during design.
Can vehicle graphics work for mixed business and personal use?
They can, depending on how the vehicle is used and whether the branding needs to be removed regularly. Removable signage options may be worth considering for mixed-use vehicles.
Can vehicle graphics include a company logo and contact information?
Yes. A layout can incorporate a company name, logo, phone number, website, services, or other selected information. The most important details should receive the strongest visual priority.
Do vehicle graphics need to cover the entire vehicle?
No. Graphics can use selected areas of the vehicle, depending on the desired design, available space, and the amount of information to be displayed.
How can fleet graphics stay consistent across different vehicles?
A shared system of logos, colors, typography, imagery, and information hierarchy can keep the fleet visually consistent while allowing each layout to fit its specific vehicle.
What should I consider before starting a vehicle graphics project?
Consider how the vehicle is used, what information needs to be displayed, how much surface you want to cover, and how the graphics should fit your existing branding. These factors can help determine the most practical design approach.
