Chocolate Cactus Designs  |  The Chocolate Blog bio picture

well, hello there!

Welcome to the Chocolate Cactus blogsite.  A little of this and a little of that, all rolled into one big ball of goodness.  Here you will be able to read the latest, see recent works and read random babbles all in one place.  You're one lucky duck.

With nine years of design experience and an accomplished marketing background, owner and creative director Jodi Bell prefers a straightforward, personalized approach to her design work. "Everything I design is done with marketing in mind," states this former designer for a Houston-based magazine. It is her philosophy that "Standout designs equal effective marketing". The result is that the marketing and branding process is made infinitely easier for her clients. Jodi's portfolio reveals her love of typography and clean, no-frills designs. It is this that makes her designs standout creations that market themselves. 


Chocolate Cactus offers a variety of design work. Jodi's talents include creating complete identities to collateral materials and logo designs. Aside from logos, one of her specialties is custom one-of-a-kind announcements and wedding invitations. Because her clean, fresh designs appeal to a wide variety of industries, her client list includes not only photographers worldwide but also boutiques, auto manufacturers and just about everything in between.

Jodi has a special affinity for her photographer clients, most likely because she's a photographer herself, having won accolades and recognition for her photographic work. A self-professed font queen, Jodi lives in the Houston, Texas area with her husband and four sons. She continues the hunt for clean, fabulous typography...over 3,500 fonts and counting.

At last… The Chocolate Vault

Edited:  Added an 8th design (see below)

Well, after YEARS of people asking if I would do this, I decided "what the hey!" and am going to give it a go.

Introducing The Chocolate Vault!

Each month, I will take several logo designs that I have created (that were not chosen) and place them for sale. They need good homes too, you know.  :)   These are essentially concepts that were presented that clients didn’t choose, but that may work for others, and sit all alone in The Vault. Hee.  While I am a huge advocate for custom design, I realize that part of my audience is photographers who are eier just starting their businesses, or ones who simply may not be able to swing the cost of a custom logo just yet. 

Here’s how it works:

The design will remain intact, and after choosing the one you want, you will tell me what text to place within the design, and the color(s) you’d like to change it to. All of the logo files will come to you as they do to all my other clients. You will get two files, a layered psd file (that you will easily be able to change the colors of in Photoshop), and an ai file (Illustrator vector file).

That’s it! Easy! No waiting for concepts, no questionnaire to fill out. These will be selling for $200.

Here’s the scoop – they are numbered 1-7, so if you see one you want, email me at jodi@chocolatecactus.com with the number you want and they will be sold on a first-come, first-served basis. When a design is sold, I will post here letting you know. After I confirm with you that a design is still available via email, I will ask for the info you’d like in your design and will then give you the PayPal email address to submit payment to. Once received, the design files will be sent out!  Easy as pie.

Happy logo shopping!

Logos 5, 6 and 7 have been sold, thanks!
