Black Bat Design Company is a graphic design studio run out of Upstate New York. We offer commercial art services such as branding and identity, packaging and label concepts, website design and maintenance, illustration sets, apparel graphics, and really any bad assery design projects. Yes, that word is probably made up, but you’re the one in need of a creative thinker right? We’ve been blessed to work with several start-ups, established companies, people with a dream on a napkin, and luckily a lot of family and friends and friends of… well you get the idea. Our studio goals have always been keeping things authentic, honest, and timeless. We were once the dream on the napkin, rather a million scribbles over several pocket sketchbooks— and now we want to hear about your scribbles and help you tell your stories.
WHY BATS?
Chiroptera, or the mammal known as the bat, are pretty important to our brand. Specifically, Pteropus, or fruit bat / flying fox, because they're essential to the environment. Fruit bats survive mainly off of the juices of fruit, so once they have taken all of the juice from the fruit they spit the pulp out, which spread seeds from the fruit and leads to growth of trees. These mammals also prefer to live in camps or amongst many other fruit bats, and they are nocturnal. So, how does that relate to us? Well, on a larger scale, creative individuals in all fields of art, are essential to the community around them like the bats to their environment. Graphic designers provide a services for brands that promote growth, and that have an impact on the community that brand is trying to reach. Black Bat is nothing without the creative community surrounding us, much like fruit bats in their camps, and we don't know about our fellow designers, but we work better at night.
ALECIA
GRAPHIC DESIGNER / ILLUSTRATOR /
Alecia is Black Bat's owner and lead graphic designer. She’s Black Bat’s strategist and purveyor of fine lines as well as the direct line to all clients. She always has a field notes on her and is probably sketching up a new t-shirt idea for the provisions side of BB in it. She can be found most days traveling to tiny towns to find cool typography on old buildings, or maybe trying a new sour at a local brewery. On Sundays, she’s screaming at the TV cheering on the Buffalo Bills, and as far as every moment after that she’s working on Black Bat (Thank you).
Go Bills. HEY-EY-EY-EY
