When this was published, we were Blue Stag. Today we’re Everglow ✨ Read the rebrand story

Our work for Valley Mill was recently featured in Packaging of the World so we thought that we’d do a little write up on the project.

Valley Mill specialises in creating high-quality Welsh slate products as well as other contemporary goods for the home. They approached us with the task of rebuilding their existing brand image and as ever, we were well up for the challenge.

It was important that the rebrand harnessed the integrity of the brand and complimented the high quality and organic nature of the products they provide.

We brought together a number of creative disciplines to rebrand Valley Mill for a modern audience. Here are the results of the project.

A misty mountain valley with rocky slopes and green moss, featuring the text VALLEY MILL PROJECT and a circular mill symbol in the centre.
A dramatic mountain range rises above low-hanging clouds at sunrise or sunset, with the Valley Mill Project’s circular geometric logo centred in the foreground.
A round sign with a white geometric wheel design on a dark background is mounted on the Valley Mill Project building exterior, with green tree branches nearby. Two rectangular hang tags with gold strings are shown. One tag is dark with a repeating circular pattern; the other is white with a black logo, Valley Mill, and a description about hand-crafted Welsh slate.
A close-up of a dark, polished stone from the Valley Mill Project, featuring three large circular holes and a small copper-coloured sunburst design etched into its surface.
A glass vase with dried flowers on a wooden table next to soap bars. Four colourful handmade soap bars with brown paper labels are arranged in a diagonal line on a wooden surface. The soaps are yellow, green, orange, and red in colour. The labels display their scents and ingredients. A brown leather tufted settee with a checked blanket draped over it sits against a rustic brick wall, illuminated by a vintage brass lamp. A cosy leather armchair with a colourful pillow and blanket sits next to a round wooden table holding a lit candle and a unique lamp, set against a rustic, textured wall. A slate platter with sliced olive bread, green olives, stuffed red peppers, and a decorative curl of cheese, set on a wooden table. Three bottles of white wine are displayed horizontally in a modern, black, stone wine holder on a rustic wooden table in a warmly lit restaurant. The background shows blurred dining tables and ambient lighting.
A website for the Valley Mill Project displays a cosy living room scene with a sofa, cushion, blanket, and candle on a table, alongside a shopping page featuring homeware products and prices arranged in a grid layout.
