Flat Pat Around the World!
the story behind flat pat
Leslie’s father, Patrick Kane, was known for his distinctive appearance, featuring a signature eye patch and handlebar mustache. His personal touch extended to his handwriting, where he often included a doodled logo that mirrored his unique look—a symbol that became meaningful to those closest to him.
After Patrick’s passing, the idea to create “Flat Pat,” a playful tribute inspired by the “Flat Stanley” character was born. The “Flat Pat” logo quickly became a beloved symbol among friends and family, with versions of it traveling around the globe. When Leslie launched her podcast, she knew she wanted “Flat Pat” to be part of her brand, honoring her father’s memory in a way that was both personal and meaningful.
