About our logo...


Our logo has three main points, a farm, a main street of a small town and the design around the "B". All these represent some aspect of the rural focus of Badger Communications. The farm represents agriculture, rural Main Street represents small businesses, and the green design shows the need to network and grow together with our customers. The logo is a statement of our commitment to the rural market and our determination to provide for their communication needs. All these drive home our slogan, "Cultivating Independent Growth."
