For food businesses, first impressions often happen long before customers taste the food.
Whether a catering van is travelling across London, parked at a busy event, or serving customers from a roadside location, its appearance becomes part of the brand experience. A professionally branded vehicle doesn't just advertise a business—it builds trust, attracts attention, and helps customers remember who you are.
That's why food truck branding and commercial van graphics have become essential marketing tools for restaurants, street food businesses, caterers, and mobile food vendors.
At FASTSIGNS Hammersmith, we help businesses transform everyday commercial vehicles into striking mobile advertisements through expertly designed and professionally installed vehicle graphics, van branding, and fleet signage.
One recent project perfectly demonstrates how impactful professional vehicle branding can be.
Working with OH BABU, we refreshed the graphics on their branded catering vehicle, applying new high-quality vinyl decals over the existing vehicle livery to create a vibrant, eye-catching finish while maintaining the recognisable brand identity. The updated design showcases bold menu items, colourful graphics, and strong visual messaging that immediately communicates what the business offers, helping attract attention whether the vehicle is travelling through London or serving customers at events.
Projects like this require far more than simply applying vinyl.
Our experienced installation team carefully prepares every vehicle before installation, ensuring graphics align perfectly and achieve a clean, professional finish. Where graphics are applied over existing vehicle branding, colour consistency, positioning, and surface preparation are all essential to producing the best possible result. As with many refurbishment projects, slight colour variations can occur due to the age and weathering of existing graphics, and these considerations are discussed with every client before installation begins.
Vehicle branding remains one of the most cost-effective forms of advertising available to businesses. Unlike traditional advertising campaigns that stop when budgets run out, professionally branded vehicles promote your business every day. Whether driving through London, visiting customers, delivering products, or attending events, your vehicle continuously builds awareness and reinforces your brand.
This is why businesses across sectors—including hospitality, construction, facilities management, retail, healthcare, logistics, and professional services—continue to invest in commercial vehicle graphics, fleet branding, and van signage as part of their long-term marketing strategy.

A Project That Delivered More Than Great Graphics
One of the most rewarding parts of this project came after the installation was complete.
OH BABU left FASTSIGNS® Hammersmith a 5-star Google review, praising the professionalism of the team from the initial design consultation through to the final application of the graphics.
The customer highlighted the excellent communication throughout the project and specifically thanked members of our team for their attention to detail, describing the finished vehicle as bringing their vision to life. They also recommended FASTSIGNS® Hammersmith to businesses looking for professional vehicle wraps and branding solutions.
For us, feedback like this is just as important as the finished graphics. It reflects the experience we aim to deliver on every project—from first conversation to final installation.
