English term or phrase: on us
There is a brochure with various slogans, all containing ON.

- on demand
- on printing
- on time
- on hand

These qre quite consistent with the content of the corresponding sections.

Problematic is ON US because the Italian author pretends to replace "ABOUT US" with "ON US".
I am of the opinion that ON US at the beginning of a section telling about the requisites of the company
doesn't mean anything and is even mislweading!

Is possible a (longer) slogan containing ON that has the same meaning of ABOUT US!

TIA
