Building Better Brands, One Van at a Time: The Brass Monkey Plumbing Story

At Oregon Design Co, we believe small businesses are the backbone of Oregon’s economy—and nothing gets us more fired up than helping local crews show up like pros. That’s exactly what happened with Brass Monkey Plumbing.

When they came to us, they were doing solid work and building a loyal client base. But like a lot of trades-based businesses, their brand hadn’t caught up with the quality of their service. They needed a visual identity that could carry their growth into the next phase. So we rolled up our sleeves and got to work.

From Basic to Bold

We started with a rebrand that leaned into their name—playful, memorable, and just a little bit wild. Clean typography. Bold, legible lettering. A modernized badge. And of course, a custom-designed wrap suite that would make their fleet unmissable on Portland streets (and everywhere their wrenches take them).

We didn’t just design something that looks good in a mockup. We made sure it worked in real-world conditions—big rigs, rainy days, busy job sites. From box truck to work van, every detail was built to last and designed to turn heads.

Real Growth, Real Results

Since rebranding with us, Brass Monkey Plumbing has seen their revenue more than double. Yep, over 100% increase. That’s the power of great branding: it earns trust, opens doors, and puts your name top of mind every time someone needs a plumber.

And while we’re proud of how the fleet looks, what really matters is how it’s helping them grow. More visibility. More calls. More booked jobs. That's the ripple effect of wrapping with intention.

Why It Matters

We’re not just here to make things pretty—we’re here to build brands that carry weight. Every wrap, logo, and mural we design is part of a bigger mission: helping local businesses level up, compete with national names, and build something that lasts.

From the first sketch to final install, we treat your business like our own. Because when you grow, our community grows.
