We’re a design company in Chicago.
Our work’s been on ESPN, PBS, and in theaters.
Founded in 2007, Dizzy Giant designs in motion, print, and online. We’ve taken small businesses from a logo to a complete identity system, then to the web and direct interaction with their customers. For filmmakers, we’re there for in-film titles and graphics, for print and online promotion, for DVD design and authoring. We do a lot of different things because we’re interested in a lot of different things. We make cool stuff because we work with cool people.
