Now and then our work wins design industry awards. But what’s
more important to us is delivering solutions that answer our clients’
strategic situations and building great relationships along the way.
Asterisk Group has proven to be a reliable creative partner for several business startups I have led, beginning with Hoover’s Online [1995] and most recently Newser.com [2008]. Their creativity, professionalism, and agility has been the perfect fit on every occasion.

Asterisk Group brought creative ingenuity to bear for us in the creation of the Up2U litter prevention campaign. Their creative process really worked; it catalyzed partnerships and attracted allies and led to big results: Our project was awarded the TCEQ 2008 Environmental Excellence Award for Education.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Asterisk Group over the past nine years as the Director of Marketing with three different technology startups. Each company involved complex technologies that required innovative B2B marketing with constrained budgets. Asterisk Group created the corporate identities and branding elements for all three companies, garnering praise from our customers and competitors alike for the creativity and quality of the work. This included logos, paper systems, collateral, web design, as well as trade show booth designs that proved best-of-show favorites in several International technology exhibitions.

We chose Asterisk Group after thorough research for graphic design firms in the Austin area — and have not regretted it. Their work is fresh, intelligent, and sensitive to the client’s goals.

Asterisk Group did a great job of listening to the concept of my development, Colonia Serendipty, and creating a visual image. The graphics are beautiful and each buyer is attracted to the brochure, the cards, and the web site. I appreciate your sincerity and your willingness to rethink ideas with me. I am very proud of my collateral material.

We went to Asterisk Group for a corporate brochure — but came away with a new concept and identity for our center. They worked within our deadlines and were able to distill many opinions from our staff feedback into one cohesive design. Asterisk Group made the entire design process pleasurable. I look forward to working with them on our next project.
