Exhibit A

A decorating brand that looks nothing like a decorating brand.

The Mils wanted premium clients. We gave them Art Deco geometry and two interlocking Ms, closer to an interiors brand than a decorator. Five years on, it’s unchanged, and they’ve picked up a Service Excellence Award.

The Mils branding
Built for decorators

Stuff only a decorator would care about.

A-boards outside every job

So every house you paint advertises the next one.

Workwear for inside people’s homes

Smart enough for the client’s new kitchen.

Socials made for before-and-afters

Templates that make your best rooms look even better.

A website that shows your best work

Room by room, with an easy way to enquire.

How it runs

Quick, painless, done on your phone.

    Concepts, two rounds of changes, sign-off. All on your phone. No meetings in a glass box.

  4. 04

    Out on the road

    Files go to you and your sign shop. Final 50% due. Then enjoy the neighbours’ faces.

FAQ

Straight answers.

Does the package include wrapping my van?

No, and we’d rather tell you now than on the invoice. Your package includes the van livery design. Printing and fitting are quoted separately, because a Caddy and a Luton aren’t the same job. Once your design’s approved, we’ll introduce you to our recommended supplier or help arrange a quote.

Can I claim it against tax?

Usually, yes. Branding’s a marketing cost, so it’s normally an allowable expense, and VAT-registered businesses can reclaim the VAT. Ask your accountant though. We draw logos, not tax returns.

Is that really the whole price?

Yes. Fixed price. No “it’ll be about…” followed by a sharp intake of breath. Printing, vinyl and fitting sit outside it because they depend on your van.

Will it work for commercial clients too?

Yes. A premium look opens doors with letting agents, developers and offices, as well as homeowners. The Mils do both.

Can you work with my signwriter?

Yes. You get every file a printer or signwriter could ask for, in the formats they expect. They’ll like us. Everyone does.

Will you put a spanner in my logo?

No. Not a spanner, a tap, a lightning bolt or a little house with a roof on it. We’ve got standards.

Time for a fresh coat.
