I cannot imagine where we would be without Violet Studios’ support in designing our donation platform. The fact that they genuinely understand and are committed to our mission ensured the final product truly reflected the spirit of our brief. Kate and her team were very responsive, had a ‘can-do’ attitude to challenges and showed incredible dedication to getting the design just right. They even provided proactive feedback and suggestions on platform content, subtly but significantly enhancing it. No other team could have met our needs better, even if we’d had an unlimited budget. This is an unbelievable service that more people should know about!

Thrive Philanthropy has much gratitude to Violet Studios for our wonderful new design upgrade. It gives us that extra push to achieve Thrive’s mission. Their probono support is not only the best design we could ever have, they are an exceptional team. Kate, Elizabeth and Gabriele have been so generous with their time, skills and support for the work we do. They listened to all our ideas and dreams and made it a reality. Violet Studios is an essential part of expanding and growing the animal rights and vegan movement professionally.

Our organization has been contemplating a logo and website revival for over two years now. Our fears of lack of brand recognition and hesitancy to change were all made easy by Kate Rodman and the team at Violet Studios. They handled all of our concerns with such care and genuine concern. The entire process was so incredible from start to finish. The team were very communicative and made what could have been a long and stressful process very exciting and enjoyable. From the new logo to our new website, our network is thoroughly impressed as are we. They went above and beyond our expectations, even creating special illustrations that we can use! There is no way we could have done all this without Violet Studios and we are eternally grateful for their hard work in making our brand revamp not only possible, but joyful!

Violet Studios is an exceptional capacity-building resource for the animal protection movement. David van Beveren is an inspiring leader, not to mention a world-class mensch. Being responsible for our original logo, I was a tough sell. But Kate took great pains to understand our objectives and preferences, both aesthetically and in its messaging. She was extremely patient, fully open to our input, and presented us with a number of beautiful design sketches from which to choose. It was a terrific experience from start to finish and we're proud to have adopted what she created. Working with Kate to make this significant organizational change saved thousands of dollars and, no doubt, a great deal of stomach lining.

Collaborating with Violet Studios to spearhead the rebranding of Animal Charity Evaluators was a pleasure! Working with a team already familiar with our work and movement was comforting and helped simplify the process of defining and achieving our rebrand goals. Since launching our new brand, we've had an incredibly positive response from fellow advocates, donors, and peer organizations. We're proud of how much better our work is represented through this rebrand and are grateful that organizations like Violet Studios exist to provide cutting-edge solutions for the animal protection movement.

Working with Violet Studios has been an immensely enriching experience! They consistently demonstrate excellence across all aspects: from understanding and anticipating our needs and limitations, to facilitating seamless communication, and, of course, delivering top-tier designs. Thanks to their expertise, we successfully launched a captivating campaign page to engage voters and politicians in Germany, right on schedule before the elections. Violet Studios proves to be an invaluable asset to the animal and vegan movement. Supporting them through donations ensures that multiple organizations will benefit from their exceptional work.

Before VS stepped in for AAC's brand refresh, I struggled to create consistent designs that truly reflected our identity. They brilliantly solved our design challenges, ensuring a seamless blend with our established visual identity. Plus, the comprehensive brand guide and ready-made templates are making our marketing team’s work so much easier!

Violet Studios did an incredible job with the design of our report. We were launching it at an event at New Zealand Parliament so it had to look great. After receiving the draft we immediately knew that it was the best decision to trust the design in the hands of Violet Studios. It was super professional, detailed, and very high quality which is exactly what we needed when presenting our ask to policymakers. It could not have been better. Thank you very much for elevating the report to such a high level.

Co-Executive Director, Animal Policy International -
Working with Violet Studios has been a game-changer for our organization. In just a few months, their expertise in logo and report design has transformed our visual identity, giving us a polished and professional appearance that boosts our confidence when presenting to funders. Beyond their design skills, what sets Violet Studios apart is their unwavering commitment – they not only listened closely to our needs but became invaluable allies in our larger mission. Always kind, quick to respond, and deeply connected to the vegan movement, Violet Studios are more than a design partner; they're an essential part of our journey. We not only got exceptional design results but felt heard, understood, and guided throughout the entire process.

We had the pleasure of working with Violet Studios on a recent branding and logo creation project, and I couldn't be happier with the results. Their creativity, attention to detail, and ability to capture our organization's essence in a visual way was truly impressive. Not only did they deliver a beautiful final product, but they were also responsive and communicative throughout the entire process, making it a breeze to work with them. I highly recommend Violet Studios to anyone looking for talented and professional designers to help bring their brand to life.

We couldn’t be happier with the design help that Kate and the Violet Studios team provided for our new communications assets and new website. Our story of how to use non-profit ecosystem building funding to crowd in 100x in investment dollars was a complicated one to tell, and the Violet team was so good at listening and designing graphic assets to communicate it in a simpler way to multiple audiences. We also needed our website done by the release of our TED talk, and the team was well organized and able to meet the tight timeline with time to spare. Kate and the team was so supportive and fun to work with and at every moment we knew that we had found a partner who was aligned with our mission to reduce the demand for industrial animal agriculture. Thank you Violet Studios!

Our brand identity was long-overdue for sharpening up. Over the last couple of years, our programs, ambitions and mission have evolved. This means ad hoc sub branding and a lot of headaches figuring out how to present new ideas in a way that fits our evolution. We're deeply grateful that Violet Studios came along at the exact right time to help us update and apply cohesion to our brand. The output has been an incredibly professional, high quality update that will keep our team on track and sharpen our outward communications. We could not have created this update to this high standard on our current budget and we can't wait to roll out this new, sharper, more cohesive version of Sentient Media to the world!

For the launch of our organization, it was important for us to visually convey our core values and principles to philanthropists, our key stakeholders. It was a pleasure to work with Violet Studios on our logo and website. Kate is an outstanding and attentive designer who immediately understood our vision and how we would like our logo to reflect that. She was responsive and always came up with creative adjustments to the design in response to our feedback. We are extremely happy with the smooth process and the end product, which played a role in setting us up for a successful launch and wonderful start to our new endeavor.

We are so grateful to everyone at Violet Studios for the fabulous brand revamp and new website. We are getting rave reviews about it from everyone – from other organisations, donors, and potential employees. The team within FIAPO is incredibly proud of the logo and the colours; the branding lifts us! Please know that what you’ve done for us is not just a website, but this rebrand gives us the confidence to move forward as we rebuild and raise resources for our work.

The designers at Violet Studios were immensely helpful in creating our new logo for PlantBasedData.org. We were all so impressed by their talent and creativity, and the quality of work delivered. A genuine interest in what and how we want to be represented was taken, and the logo created perfectly represents us. The VS team also generously helped with some other design tips around our site. Thanks again!
