Client Reviews:
RECOVERY CAFÉ - is a nonprofit addiction outreach organization located in a rural, farming community. Organized and operated by concerned local volunteers, they are providing care, programs, and support to help recovery from addiction and more. A note on their website: "Never underestimate what a couple of determined moms can do."
I was happy to support their cause with the design of their logo and suggestions for social media. Good luck Recovery Café! You are doing great work!
Pat Brown - Executive Director
We had no idea what we wanted for logo or color... we needed something that would make people think of a calm, friendly place they could relax, fit in and find peace. Jeff Hapner Graphic Design spent time talking to us about our work, our mission, our ideas. Then came the ideas! They presented us with a couple of very different, very desirable choices. We worked (our team and theirs) to talk and think through each one. The process was easy, no tech-speak or jargon, just solid work that conveys what is important to us. I could not recommend JHGD more highly.
SWEET COMB CHICAGO is a Chicago based apiarist who provides protected hives to encourage urban bee population growth. In return he harvests the excess honey, and makes grooming products from the excess beeswax. A great company that makes great products. Glad to be a part of this venture.
I developed their brand, including logo, product packaging, social media ads, and website elements.
Martin Lopez - Sweet Comb Owner
Jeff Hapner Graphic Design partnered with the SCC team early on and has worked to continually integrate our vision, priorities and character into all stages of design and product development. Jeff has an uncommon ability to identify and bring out the desired personality and character of a company that often remains concealed within a brand. Jeff meets project deadlines and goes above and beyond to provide additional creative options and suggestions. He is open minded and not afraid to take risks. His outside of the box approach results in strong original designs that are easily identified across diverse markets.
CANAL SHORES is a community golf course crossing Evanston and Wilmette. I helped them rebrand with a new logo and various promotional pieces. They included the community in rebuilding and re energizing the course, including family camp nights, junior golf, concerts, and many other activities to serve the community while preserving this public green space.
Perry Weinberg - previous course President
Jeff Hapner Graphic Design partnered with us to rebrand Canal Shores Golf Course. This included designing a new logo, and setting graphic style and color family guidelines. We then applied this look to many formats, from our new website, to an imprint on our golf balls. The new graphic promotion has made the community more aware of our efforts to revitalize our course and added to our success. As President of the Canal Shores Golf Course Association, I’ve been quite pleased with Jeff’s work.
FULL CIRCLE 26, INC. is a start-up with a great business attitude. They distributes all-inclusive hydroponic growing systems. Sized appropriately from table top for home use, to container sized for mass production. They also sponsor growing system labs in schools where the produce is used in the lunch program. And partner with the YMCA for after-school growing programs. Using their system the plants are grown without harmful chemicals, naturally with water and light.
Shelley Mathews - Owner
The opportunity to work with Jeff is a true “full-circle” experience of entrepreneurs reconnecting. Jeff is perfect for FC26I’s sporadic and at times hectic business schedule. Jeff has worked with me to design our logo, website, ads and more - and does great work. He is highly recommended for his graphic plus services.
