Inside John's Locker

No extra large bows here. We’re talking about making our van look like this:

You listen to me rattle on in this blog but there’s another key member of the Owner’s Locker team who makes sure everything runs like clockwork. That would be Brian Whitt. He’s the one looking a bit like a hot dog in the photo. I met Brian in 1992 when he sold me an interest in Disney Vacation Club. We’ve been friends ever since. And, both of us just sort of knew we’d be working together one day.

Anyway, back to wrapping this van. We always knew we’d need delivery vans and it wasn’t a huge intellectual leap to decide that they needed to be purple. Not just any purple, by the way, but Owner’s Locker purple. I sorta thought that we’d have a small Owner’s Locker logo on the driver’s door. Brian looked at me like I was an alien and politely explained that our vans really needed to be rolling billboards and this is what we wound up with. It’s great isn’t it! That’s why Brian and I work so well together.

Well, it’s not that difficult to paint a van purple and have a small logo put on the door. What you see here is a wrap job. And like everything we do at Owner’s Locker, it’s gotta be good. It’s gotta be VERY good.

The short version of how they wrap a van is that they cover it with specially printed 21st century sticky contact paper. Remember that stuff?

The next time you’re driving have a look at some of the vehicles that have photos or colorful designs. There are some really bad wraps on the road. So the search went out for the best wrappers around. And we found them. A company called Sign Zoo in Sarasota.

And Brian was off to the races. Did we look at a zillion designs or what?!? We worked with the great guys at Sign Zoo and we pulled Alex our web designer in to help. One day, Brian had a huge section of floor covered with various mockups. So off the van went to Sarasota looking very plain and coming back looking rather special, don’t you think! The photos here are the Sign Zoo guys doing their thing.
