    I've been considering doing a vinyl wrap on my truck to promote the company I work for. We've agreed on compensation and now I'm just trying to figure out the best way forward.
    The wrap company I'm going with charges for design services beyond the first hour, so I'm trying to go to them with with a pretty good idea of what I want. But, I'm not a graphic designer (or even that creative at all).
    Here's what I need help with:
    Suggest (or better yet whip something up on photoshop) as a general concept. I just have no idea how to lay out the logo, and what background colours to use.
    Things to consider:
    We are going to incorporate 8-10 supplier logos in the design. There will be 4 big ones and 4-6 smaller ones. I was thinking of having a section on the sides for the bigger brands and a section on the tailgate for the smaller ones.
    Our company colours and navy blue and orange. The company's website is here and you can see our logo etc.

    I'd like a design that promotes the company and our brands but is still clean/badass looking. I've thought of going matte black, but I'm worried that the supplier logos and the navy in our logo wouldn't pop. Maybe grey?

    We're an outdoor company so mountains, outdoor scenes, make sense.

    If anyone comes back with ideas or images that work, there could be a bit of $ in it for them. Bottom line, designers charge quite a bit so any help that results in me having to pay them less is very much appreciated.

    Other info:
    My truck is a 2010 TRD 4-door longbox with a Leer 100XQ Canopy.

    Tbh you probably won't get that much help here.

    I think your best bet is to sit down and do a quick mock up of what you want. No one else will be able to design it to your liking better than you.

    I would rather pay for another hour of consultation and be happy than try to save some money and end up disliking the final product.
