What's With the Logo?
Our logo tells the story with all the charm and excitement you’d expect from a true Minnesota legend! Meet Paul Bunyan and his "babe"—but not Babe the Blue Ox. The idea behind our business began with Laura, who was searching for "her own Paul Bunyan" and realized there was a need for more meaningful connection options in the Twin Cities.
The inspiration behind our business came from Laura, who was on a quest to find "her own Paul Bunyan." Tired of the endless cycle of online dating and membership-based singles communities, she wanted something different—something simple and straightforward. Laura & Britleigh realized there was a need for a more authentic way to connect, one that didn’t require long-term commitments or endless scrolling. That’s when Stassi Dates was born—a way to meet people with just a one-day ticket commitment and without the pressure of membership fees or complex profiles.
Though our logo features a traditional male lumberjack and his female love interest, we know that love goes beyond these classic representations. While we honor this imagery, we are committed to celebrating equality for all genders, races, identities, and orientations. At Stassi Dates, we embrace love in all its forms, and we work to create a space where everyone—regardless of race, gender, or who they love—feels welcomed, valued, and respected in their search for connection.
Ready to find your own “Paul Bunyan” or “babe”? Join us, and let the adventure begin!
