About Us

We’re Paloma and Michael and we’re glad you stopped by Nightly Bats.

(We’ll get to that name in a second.)

In the simplest terms, Paloma designs and Michael animates. We genuinely enjoy collaborating with our clients to solve design-driven problems. We know that takes more than adding a little “flair” so we apply strategy and purpose — along with a right-sized touch of weirdness — to translate key brand messages into compelling visual stories. Between the two of us, we’ve had opportunities to design and animate for restaurants and small businesses throughout the Southeast. We live, work, and always represent for ATL.

#7daysofbadfonts Day 5: Chopin Script. It's fiiiiine and actually has some nice swashes. Some.
#7daysofbadfonts Day 4: Badaboom. If you know you know.
#7daysofbadfonts Day 3: Calibri. Do you ever feel like you have tunnel vision? 8/10, will use again
#7daysofbadfonts Day 2: Papyrus. Okay, this one IS a bad font. I hate it and don't care to interact with it.
#7daysofbadfonts Day #1: Marker Felt. V cute brand reimagining. Love this font. Not a bad one.
A little look back on some of the logos we created with our clients in 2022. Looking forward to what's coming our way next year 😈

Logo update for @okujaxbeach completed last year. There are now seven O-Ku locations throughout the Southeast, each with a slightly different take on the brand. For Jacksonville Beach, we decided to soften the logo to give it that windswept, wavy feeling.

Now about that name…

On our first visit to Austin, TX we noticed one of the city’s must-see tourist activities was listed as “nightly bats.” Every evening bats fly out from under Congress Bridge and it’s pretty spectacular.

“Nightly bats” later became our shorthand way to refer to that period of time right before you go to bed, when even though you’re exhausted, you get a burst of creative energy that makes you a little wild. We named the business for that simple term that refers to something exceptional.
