BlackCat Media is a solo design studio built on the same principles as a good mechanic shop. Honest work, fair price, no runaround. Every project that comes through the door gets handled by one person. Not a team of interns. Not outsourced.

One shop. One standard.

We specialize in brand identity, print, and merch. The kind of work that has to hold up in the real world. On a shirt. On a storefront. In someone's hand at a trade show.

Built with grit. Designed to work.

01

Honest Work

No smoke. You know what you're getting and what it costs before anything moves.

02

Real Hands

Your project isn't handed off. It's built by the same person you emailed day one.

03

Faith Grounded

Work done with integrity. Relationships that last past the invoice.

04

Print Ready

Files that actually work at the printer. No surprises on press day.

Word Of Mouth.

No. 01

Julio provided us exactly what we needed and wanted for our new logo. It was such a pleasure to work with him. I highly recommend his services. You won't be disappointed.

Julio is such a professional creative with a heart to understand and capture the vision and bring it to life!

Fernando M.

No. 03

Our church has worked with BlackCat Media for our video and graphic needs and they have been amazing. For a small church that doesn't have a graphics person on staff, having BlackCat step in to help us creatively rivals large churches.

Josh R.

BlackCat Media worked on testimonial videos for our fundraiser banquet for ABCS. They captured our client's story in a way that brought the vulnerability and hope of that story to the audience. I would recommend them wholeheartedly.

The Manual.

A lot of studios are too busy to work on their own brand. We get it. Client work pays the bills. But if we can't be intentional about our own identity, what does that say about the care we bring to yours? BlackCat runs on a full brand system. Documented, deliberate, built to the same standard we hold every client project to. No cobbler's kids here.

// 08 Shop FAQ Straight Answers

Common Questions.

Still got one? Ask →
01What does BlackCat Media do?

We design and we print. Logos, brand identity, business cards, flyers, banners, signage, and merch. One shop handles the whole job — design through print — so the file that leaves the bench is the thing that shows up in your hand.

02Where are you, and do you work outside Arizona?

We're based in Buckeye, Arizona, just west of Phoenix. Local work is our bread and butter, but design and merch jobs run remote all the time. If you can email, we can work together.

03How much does a logo or brand identity cost?

Depends on scope — a standalone logo is a different job than a full identity system with type, color, and collateral. We nail down pricing after a quick discovery call, once we know what you actually need. Tell us about the project and we'll set one up.

04How long does a project take?

A logo usually runs three to four weeks. A full identity or a print run takes longer, depending on revisions and press time. You get a timeline up front, and we hold to it.

05Do you print in-house or farm it out?

No farm-out games. Every job is handled by one person start to finish, and files go out press-ready. You're not getting passed to a team of interns or a vendor chain marking up the middle.

06What files do I get, and are they print-ready?

You get the working files and the formats you actually use — vector logo files, print-ready PDFs, and web exports. Everything's built one-color first, so it holds up on a truck door, a stitched hat, or a single-color invoice stamp.

07Do you do shirts and merch?

Yes. Shirts, hats, and gear — art built for screen print, embroidery, and DTG. We design for decoration, so it survives the process instead of falling apart on the first wash.
