Where the name came from
A badge that existed before the business had a website.
Susanna Rivas built the painting practice on her own, one project at a time, and had a mark drawn for it years before there was anything to put it on: the state of Arizona, paint running off its northern edge, two rollers crossed underneath. It was printed on a card and carried around long enough that the card is now the only surviving copy.
The original artwork file was lost. The badge on this site was rebuilt from a photograph of that card — the same silhouette, the same drips, the same crossed rollers — redrawn as clean vector so it can be printed at any size without losing the hand that made it.
It is not a logo that was designed for a brand. It is a brand that grew up around a logo, which is why the work still looks like somebody made it rather than specified it.
Working standards
How the work is handled.
Protection, scope, and closeout remain visible from the first walkthrough to the last.
- 01
Protect the space.
Tarps, plastic sheeting and film, or rosin paper are selected for the property and work area.
- 02
Confirm the scope.
Preparation, coating system, exclusions, sequence, price, and schedule are confirmed before work begins.
- 03
Finish with a walkthrough.
The agreed scope is reviewed with the client, and missed items are resolved before the project closes.
