BLUEBARN PRESENTS: A BEHANDING IN SPOKANE by Martin McDonagh (February 21 - March 16, 2013)

In this darkly comical new work from the acclaimed playwright Martin McDonagh, the mysterious gun-toting Carmichael has been searching for his missing left hand for decades.

Enter two bickering lovebirds with a hand to sell, and a hotel clerk with an aversion to gunfire, and soon life and death are up for grabs.

A Behanding in Spokane turns over American daily existence, exposing the obsessions, prejudices, madness, horrors, and above all, the absurdities that crawl beneath it.

When starting a new business it is important to have branding that accurately represents whom you are. This includes your name, overall design, logo, or any other feature that identifies your goods or service as distinct from those of other businesses. Having a cohesive, well-designed logo, paper goods (Stationary, business cards, envelopes, etc.) and website will help distinguish your business when going up against more established competitors.

It may be tempting to buy your logo from the bargain bins on the internet but it's important to realize that the money you put into your branding is like an investment.

You are investing in the success of your company and proper branding can result in higher sales, a more positive public perception, and a higher sense of value.

LK Design is now proudly offering graphic design services including branding. Whether you are just starting out or looking to "renovate" we can help distinguish your business from your competitors.
