It’s a very open and transparent relationship with great communication along the way.

In 2018, the Fox Valley Warming Shelter, Homeless Connections, and Housing Partnership of the Fox Cities merged for the purpose of creating a stronger experience for community members in need of assistance. The three organizations decided it would be best to develop a new name and brand identity to better represent their role in the community. Our task was to create a brand that would deliver this vision.
Over the course of their existence, these three organizations had individually been a place of support. We knew that these roots would always be the foundation for their collective brand story and with them now working together, we found that the name Pillars would be fitting. We then turned to creating a visual solution that would be approachable, supportive, and strong.
Today, Pillars is operating with a larger impact than they ever have and the community of volunteers and supporters are all working towards the common goal of supporting our community by working together.

We needed an identity to match our level of expertise & professionalism and Quill was the perfect team for the job. Most pool liner companies have the same old-school approach when it comes to branding & design, but Quill was able to breathe some fresh air on to this outdated, industry-standard style. From the clean, calming color palette, a creative new logo and unique website design, to our awesome new work vans, Quill gave us the exquisite “glow-up” we have been dreaming of for a long time.

The Quill team was excellent to work with on our branding project. We were starting from scratch with no existing identity, but also had multiple stakeholders with vested interest which could have complicated the process. Ryan and the team were able to listen to our needs, research the limited examples in the market, and create something that reflected our asset. I greatly appreciated their ability to work with our project manager to keep things moving, but also the ability to present to the greater committee for feedback and approvals.

The Quill team took our many ideas of what we wanted the campaign logo to portray, creating an easily recognizable look and message. At each step along the way, I knew that Ryan and his team were available to answer any questions we had.

The team at Quill Creative was invested in my visual identity design from the moment I contacted them. Taking time to understand ISW and my vision was their first concern. The remainder of the process was timely, fluid and incorporated my feedback, and each team member I met was engaged with the product/concept they were delivering to me. I'm thrilled with the final results of ISW's updated Visual Identity brand.

Over the last year I've had the pleasure of working with Quill Creative Services to refresh the brand of my family's business which is celebrating its 100th anniversary in 2021. On a scale of 100 for expectations I’d humbly give Quill a score of 200… The discovery, creative and implementation stages could not have gone smoother from my perspective as your typical/busy business owner. Quill invested the time to truly understand my company's history, personality, character, products, services and most importantly our customer base. The end product has taken our brand to a level that I frankly believe to be genius.

We have had an incredible response from our customers since rebranding with Quill. The entire rebranding process was fun and exciting and really opened the door to getting our company to the next level. In addition to increased revenue, Quill’s creative strategy beautifully rejuvenated our look and feel and helped us educate and inspire our customer base. Their team is full of talented true creatives, and we really look forward to future projects together.
