Gardner Design Grows Their Impact

Gardner Design has announced exciting plans in the new year with the growth of services and the addition of partners.

Since its founding in 1983, Gardner Design has produced effective and award-winning designs and branding for many industry leaders. Gardner Design’s work can be found in well-known brands including Facebook, Spirit AeroSystems, Cargill, Cessna Aircraft Company, Koch Industries, Kroger, RedGuard, WSU, and many more. In addition, Gardner Design’s commitment to the community is evident through work with nonprofit brands including Second Light, Rainbows United, Kansas Health Foundation, Greater Wichita Partnership, NXTUS, and Sedgwick County Zoo.

Gardner Design has focused on building successful brands and has been recognized internationally for their work. In the past few years, this creative work has expanded and grown from branding/re-branding and identity to additional core services for clients including events, environmental graphics, web design/development and nomenclature.

“As our clients have grown, they’ve asked us to help steward their brands more holistically.”

“For decades, our work has been grounded in the belief that a strong brand is far more than a logo. It’s how an organization shows up, connects, and earns trust,” said Bill Gardner, Owner and Creative Director of Gardner Design. “As our clients have grown, they’ve asked us to help steward their brands more holistically to resonate with new audiences. Expanding our services and adding partners allows us to support that work at a deeper level and creates even greater impact for the organizations we serve.”

The past few years have included branded event planning for the Kansas Health Foundation, Greater Wichita Partnership, and Emprise Bank. “We have been so fortunate to work with the best community partners as we expanded our services and expertise to include creative event branding,” said Gardner.
