Short answer
Start with an approved brand-change brief and a current vehicle list. Identify what must change on each unit, compare replacement graphics with the installed condition, and agree on a rollout before approving production.
Decide what changes before requesting artwork
A fleet rebrand can mean a new logo, a different business name, updated services or a changed phone number. List each required change and identify the person who can approve it. Supply the final logo files and exact wording rather than asking the production team to choose between competing versions.
Separate confirmed decisions from open questions. If a new website or phone number is part of the change, check that it works before approving it for print. Open the exact web address, confirm the intended destination and make a normal call to the approved business number. A layout approval should not be the first time your team checks those details.
Build a change record for each vehicle
Photograph both sides, the front and rear of every unit. Add closeups of existing lettering, seams, damage and old graphics. A vehicle bought after the last rollout may have different artwork even when it appears to match the rest of the fleet.
Use an internal unit label to connect the photos, requested scope and proof. Identify vehicles that are leaving the fleet separately from those receiving the new brand. You do not need to send customer addresses, driver schedules or private route histories to describe the graphics project.
- Unit label, year, make, model and body or upfit details
- Current photos and the artwork version, if available
- Old name, contact details or service wording to remove
- Requested panels and any existing graphic or paint concerns
- Vehicle availability and the person approving its proof
Compare changing a panel with replacing the graphics
Ask for the proposed change boundaries to be marked on the vehicle photos or proof. Updating door lettering is a different scope from replacing a large side design. A new logo can also change the spacing around the service message and contact details, so check the complete layout rather than reviewing the logo alone.
Do not assume new material will match older installed graphics exactly. Ask for review of the existing condition, available production files and any sample comparison needed before choosing a small repair or a larger replacement. The written quote should identify removal, preparation, artwork adaptation and covered panels, with unresolved conditions called out.
Plan the transition across the fleet
Decide which units need the new identity first and which can be made available together. Tell the shop about a planned brand launch or event, but treat the requested date as a scheduling input until the scope and installation dates are confirmed. A staggered rollout may leave old and new designs in use at the same time; identify that transition in your own business plan.
Keep one rollout sheet with practical states such as awaiting photos, scope under review, proof awaiting approval and installation confirmed. Record the approved artwork revision beside each unit. When a decision changes, update the affected proofs before authorizing more production instead of relying on a verbal correction.
Review the actual vehicle proof before print
Check the logo, spelling, phone number, website and service wording on each adaptation. Compare side and rear layouts with the vehicle photos, including doors, racks and other equipment that may interrupt the message. Give each unit its own approval even when several vehicles share the same brand direction.
After installation, retain the final proof, revision date and covered-panel record. Use that record when adding a vehicle or requesting a later replacement. To assess business results, record how inquiries found you and whether they became suitable work; changing the graphics does not establish a guaranteed number of calls or sales.
Send a fleet rebranding quote brief
For a St. Croix Wraps quote, send the unit list, current photos, approved brand assets, exact contact wording and the changes you want reviewed. Note whether you are comparing selected-panel updates with a broader replacement. Mark unknowns so they can be resolved before production.
Use the fleet brief below to organize the request, or start the quote form with the details you already have. Requesting a quote does not approve artwork or reserve an installation date. A reviewed written scope is the next step for the actual vehicles.

Frequently asked questions
Does a new logo mean replacing every fleet wrap?
Not automatically. Identify the changed artwork, existing condition and proposed panel boundaries. Review selected-panel updates and broader replacement as separate scopes before choosing.
Can we rebrand a mixed fleet in stages?
Send each unit's body details, current photos and availability with your preferred sequence. A proposed phased rollout needs confirmed scope, artwork approval and installation dates before it is treated as scheduled.
What if only the phone number or website changes?
Mark every location where the old contact details appear and supply the exact approved replacements. Check the new destinations before print, then review the proposed graphics changes against the actual installed layout.
What should we keep after the rebrand?
Keep the approved proof and revision date for each unit, covered-panel details, installation record and any repair notes. Use the same unit label for later additions or replacement requests.
