About Barber Gale Group
BarberGale provides sustainable brand development and graphic design solutions for companies that market environmentally-positive products, services and corporate values.
So what exactly is a sustainable brand?
It is a brand that seeks triple bottom line returns by focusing on social, environmental and economic prosperity. It is a brand fueled with integrity, and that resonates with authenticity. It is a brand that can become a bonfire, easily attracting relationships and customer/advocates who in turn gather kindling (new customers/advocates), so to speak, to fuel the brand's bonfire of awareness.
The power of a sustainable brand lies in its promise: to enlighten, engage, and enrich the brand experience for shareholders and stakeholders alike.

The Change We Seek®
We seek the opportunity to team with like-minded organizations to responsibly build the power of their brands toward a more just, equitable and sustainable world.
As brand designers, being a certified B Corporation allows us to build relationships with those very organizations which share our values and goals. And it supports our intentions to live well and smarter, and work well and smarter, so that we all become designers of a very different kind of world for the generations to come.
With this bigger picture in mind, we apply our passion and experience to craft brands that are relevant, with messages that truly resonate, supported by images and graphics that solve problems. We consider the life-cycle of the materials we specify, and patronize those who also consider each domain of the triple bottom line in their business models.
