Jeremy took our ideas and imbued them with a sense of place and history as well as aesthetic appeal and whimsy. We get rave reviews on our logo. The branding materials (graphics, font) are unique and flexible, and easily applied to many functions. It is a perfect match for us.”

“I highly recommend Slagle Design and Verb Garden. Jeremy and Chris are fantastic to work with. They are creative, thoughtful, and great listeners. Together, they massively upgraded our visual branding and our strategic messaging. They listened to who we were, how we saw ourselves, and what we liked from a design perspective. We truly felt like we were on a tandem bike, working together towards a fantastic outcome.

They built upon who we are, keeping the good stuff, refining some pieces , and reimagining others altogether . I'm thrilled that we chose to work with Slagle as our visual brand, and our logo and packaging now feel like a national premium coffee company. I'm looking forward to rolling out our brand!”

“We had such a great experience working with Jeremy a few years ago while rebranding our original concept, Park Street Pizza. It was the obvious choice to give him a call again when we were ready to take the plunge with our mobile wood-fired pizza truck concept.

We knew that he would hear our passion for what we were doing and translate that into something magical that would allow us to share it with the world. He did just that, and we couldn't be more pleased.”

“I have worked with many designers over the years. Often they are, frankly, not good listeners. The 'trust me, I’m the designer' attitude that many have is not productive. An entrepreneur knows her brand intimately and a designer must listen very carefully, put ego aside and adjust the designs as needed.

Good design is a waltz between a designer and an entrepreneur — each person must pay close attention and move together. Slagle Design is an excellent dance partner. Never leading too strongly, always in tune to the needs, wants and desires of their clients.

If you have the chance to work with Slagle Design on a brand, I wholeheartedly recommend them. It’s not just talent that makes them so special, but his nurturing, open, and understanding personality that brings the right emotion to their work.”

JENI BRITTON BAUER, Founder and CCO, Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams

“Slagle Design really helped take our brand to a more professional place! They were a joy to work with, and we'll be back for more. We are very happy with our new logo and packaging.”

CHRIS BISHOP, CEO of Backroom Coffee Roasters

"Working with Jeremy was such an easy, natural, and fun experience – we would do it again in a heartbeat. From day one, he understood our brand and our vision and executed everything with precision and heart. His writing partner, Christine, was also a welcome addition and very naturally voiced our brand in a witty, smart, and elegant way that we could have never done.  Jeremy was always on point with the task at hand, always driving the project forward...never inaccessible when we had a question or needed guidance. As you can imagine, you end up spending a considerable amount of time together during the rebranding process - and now we feel like Jeremy is a friend, part of our Bake Me Happy family.  Now that our production and retail space is up and running, we look around and see his logo and artwork, and it reminds me of what a wonderful partnership we have."
