FatCat Studios, Inc. Receives 2013 Best of Baltimore Award
The team at FatCat Studios has been instrumental in ensuring the on-time delivery of major time-sensitive projects for World Duty Free Group. Thanks to the collaborative spirit, attention to detail, and personalized service provided by FatCat, WDFG completed multiple complex projects with minimal staff and resources, resulting in multi-million dollar contract awards for the company.
I have had the pleasure of working with FatCat for many years. I have found their friendliness, creativity and willingness to go above and beyond unparalleled. They treat every project with the highest level of dedication. They have helped my staff at the United Way of Central Maryland with a variety of projects and we have come to entrust our most crucial pieces to them. I give them my highest recommendation.
When I started my own Company in 2004, I turned to Valentia for my Connelly & Assoc. Fundraising, LLC website, branding, and design of my materials, etc., and they have been extremely valued partners ever since. I frequently recommend FatCat Studios, and I am always happy to share my many positive experiences with FatCat Studios with others.
I have had the pleasure of working with FatCat Studios for over 10 years on various projects in my professional and personal life. No matter the size or complexity of the project – whether it’s a digital greeting card, full website creation, logo design, or multi-media project – the design team at FatCat works hard to understand the project, present options and create products that help meet our needs. They are one of the easiest and most fun shops to work with. The end of each project leaves me looking forward to the next!
FatCat is fantastic to work with! They always have fresh ideas that are both professional and creative. When we first began working with them, we knew next to nothing about the process of creating a successful annual report. It was amazing to have the support of their whole team as we embarked on this important endeavor. The end result was an impressive product that earned accolades from funders, other leaders in our field, and more. We have since worked with FatCat on several other projects with equally stunning results!”
“I came to FatCat Studios looking for a new logo for my business. I was thoroughly impressed that they had researched my niche market prior to our first meeting. The team was very responsive to every comment or request to deliver the perfect logo. The end result is exactly what I envisioned. The best part, the logo was completed ahead of schedule. Will be using FatCat Studios for my next logo.”
“I’m thrilled with my decision to utilize the creative services of FatCat Studios! The team transformed my manuscript for “Dining Down Memory Lane” into a book I can be extremely proud of. From our first phone call, I recognized that Valentia really understood the overall tone my project and we just connected. She really made me feel like apart of a family and always kept me in the loop. Of primary importance to me was me book’s cover and FatCat really nailed it! The cover design pops and effectively communicates the book’s genre. The interior design is just fun and I think, a bit whimsical. Everyone tells me they love it! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the services of FatCat Studios to anyone looking for thoughtful and creative direction in graphic design. They are my go to!”
I have had the pleasure to work with FatCat Studios for multiple years now and I feel blessed to have their expertise at my fingertips. Every member of their team goes above and beyond to help with your projects and you can always count on them to get your job done on time. FatCat Studios manages the production of our monthly newsletter, event programs, postcards, and so much more and we are absolutely thrilled to have them on our team.
