Dutch Boy Paints
The “Dutch Process” for making paint, adopted by the Dutch Boy Co., originated with two chemists in 16th century Holland. The Dutch Boy icon was created to symbolize its superior method for creating paint. However, Michael E. Brady, the 9-year-old boy who became the inspiration for this famous trademark, wasn’t Dutch at all. He was an Irish American who lived near the artist commissioned to create the logo.
