Slimy but not grimy, snails are this season's centerpiece of choice with their unique voice (and leisurely pace), weirdly burning up the fashion runways and popping up in design moodboards everywhere.

At Jacober Creative, a Miami-based design agency known for award-winning branding, illustration, and content creation, we know a good cultural motif when we see one—and this gastropod is crawling into the zeitgeist.
Take your special snail to your favorite gastropub, or channel your inner Patricia Highsmith of The Talented Mr. Ripley fame and curate your own collection of slugs, sludge, and vintage Euro drama.
The Snail is Having a Moment
Even The New York Times has taken notice, writing, "In an era of expediency, gastropods are oozing into fashion and design — and reminding us that we, too, can take our time." Snails may be slow, but our visual storytelling game is anything but. At Jacober Creative, we’ve brought uniquely stylized illustration to life across diverse branding projects—from the whimsical Peekaboo Organic Ice Cream packaging to the dreamy, marine-inspired campaign for the Town of Palm Beach Marina, the tropical funky-chic of Frangipani Miami, and the sketchy, editorial sophistication of WellAway Insurance.
Each brand had its own look, language, and illustrated ethos—just like our stylish snail muse.
