"Santa Barbara Zoo is opening the third of only three exhibits in the world featuring the endangered California Condor. It is a $7.5 million project including a fully remodeled 700 foot gift shop. Of course, I left the exhibit t-shirts until the last minute worrying about all the other details. Laura and her team were able to get artwork to me within days, and t-shirts in less than a week. They are absolutely beautiful! Eques made the entire process quick and effortless. Thanks Eques!"

“It is a pleasure to partner with Eques Inc. Their commitment to quality, detail, and customer satisfaction is without
equal and they are passionate about animal, marine, and habitat conservation. In addition to carrying a variety of
strong selling stock images, Woodland Park Zoo has developed several custom designs with Eques. Superbly executed
and accurate artwork, prompt and efficient order fulfillment, and exceptional customer service make doing
business with Eques a pleasure.”

WOODLAND PARK ZOO STORE, SEATTLE

“When l needed t-shirts for our new lion exhibit, I ran into the usual obstacles that a small store runs into, expensive art fees and high minimum quantities. Finding Eques was like a dream come true. They are so easy to work with. I was able to have a design representing our three baby lion cubs with art that was flexible for any of my needs. Their communication and customer service was excellent, and they worked within my very tight timeline. The result was an amazing design that our zookeepers felt captured the personalities of our cats dead on. They put so much care into the design, and took so much pride in it, that I felt as if they were part of our own zoo staff!”

“So many vendors are just selling images created years ago and rarely if ever bother to update . . . and you can forget
about requesting customization. We understand this as normal in the industry. But your talent, and great service at
EQUES, has raised the bar considerably.”

“The coordination of aquarium related animals on prints, note cards, and apparel makes Eques a vendor who can
cover many key guest demands. Our visitors require a high level of style and quality that is both affordable and classic.
The creative staff at Eques offers Monterey Bay products that are fun, scientific, and most importantly, a unique souvenir of an enjoyable day at the Aquarium.”

"My experience working with Eques is a joy ride. Their dedication and commitment to conservation enable them to fully understand our needs. Eques has a passion for creating impeccable art, and their flexibility and generosity has made our collaboration a wonderful experience. Although we are a small institution, Eques always welcomes us with open arms. They are not only one of the best vendors – they are friends."

"We're a small institution, so we really enjoy working with some of the less-corporate vendors that are available, such as Eques. Eques provides us with amazing quality shirts and have one-of-a-kind designs that our customers (and staff) really like. The animal designs have the natural look and accuracy that we look for when purchasing products for our shop. We may not order large quantities, but they are always happy to receive our order and make sure we get exactly what we need."

“Thank you for your support in the California Academy of Sciences’ move from Golden Gate Park to downtown San Francisco. During that hectic time, from design concept through product development, you delivered on time while striving for excellence in rendering images with movement and life. Your broad range of products offers a unified and cohesive look to our museum shop. Your genuine interest in specific museum venues is a delight - and your flexible approach refreshing. The passion you have for your ‘subjects’ is evident in the beautiful and detailed body of work you are producing.”

“I recently took over the Puerto Rican Crested Toad Species Survival Program and solicited the help of Eques, Inc.
to develop a new design for fundraising efforts. They were a delight to work with, professional all the way, expedient,
and I absolutely love the finished products! I commend them for putting their talents to good use by supporting
conservation efforts for a wide variety of species!”

“I want to express my appreciation for the beautiful art work Eques has done for our 'Art of Deception' exhibit at
the Birch Aquarium at Scripps. I have worked with artists before in pulling together exhibits, interpretive or educational materials, and you are second to none in terms your ability to grasp what we’re trying to achieve and
producing it in a timely fashion. What you can provide to institutions is reason enough for them to become
clients, and your service, attitude and flexibility add icing to the cake.”

“I LOVE dealing with Eques. Such a professional, prompt, pleasant company. I can only wish that all my vendors
would be as helpful and easy to work with. All this, AND the merchandise is AWESOME too.”

DALLAS WORLD AQUARIUM

"All of us at Project Dragonfly and the Cincinnati Zoo are thrilled to partner with Eques, who will create much of the defining artwork for our new NSF-funded project, Wild Research. Our mission, which we are pursuing with a growing consortium of AZA institutions, is to deepen public engagement in science and conservation at zoos and aquariums.
Eques art will be used in exhibits and on a national web platform designed to involve visitors directly in inquiry and conservation action. We chose Eques because they combine extraordinary creative talent with a profound commitment to wildlife conservation. Samara (Spum) will be joining the project team in Kenya this summer with our Earth Expeditions program. She will meet with Maasai communities and world renowned conservationists. Samara will be studying the connection between wildlife art and community-based conservation. We'll be working with her as she puts what she learns into practice to help engage people worldwide in the creation of more sustainable human and ecological communities. We couldn't be more delighted."
