The Mavericks are a member of the Western Major Baseball League (WMBL) which is a summer collegiate baseball league. It is officially classified as semi-pro and plays intraleague games on some occasions. We can’t wait to get the word out about Laconic at Athletic Park, you’ll be hearing us on PA announcements, seeing us on all the 50/50 tickets and we’re also in all the official programs. We’ve become the primary designer for all things Mavericks and hope to heighten the image of the club throughout this upcoming season. It’s more important than ever to have local businesses step up and support unique enterprises that make Medicine Hat the great place it is!

If you’re interested in becoming an official sponsor like we did, check out www.themavericks.ca or email Greg Morrison at office@themavericks.ca

Best of luck to the Medicine Hat Mavericks in 2010, let’s hope they have a stellar season. If you’re in Medicine Hat this summer, we’ll see you at Athletic Park!

We were thrilled when OE contacted us and wanted help with branding, website, business cards and promotional materials. It was easily one of our favourite projects, simply because all we were provided with was an idea for a name and who the target market was, the rest was up to Laconic. We provided OE with some great solutions and definitely delivered on budget. We’ve posted their logo, business card and flyer designs in our portfolio if you want to check it out.

It was great working with the team at OE and we hope their business truly flourishes in Fort McMurray, Alberta. For more information on Owning Everest, visit their website www.owningeverest.com

We approached Aztec towards the end of the summer about creating an online presence that would go hand-in-hand with their new brand. The result is www.aztecmasonry.ca which features some videos of their work, photo galleries, great testimonials and a detailed/fully functional quote request form. What could be better?

We sincerely hope that Aztec is able to take their business, client base and service offerings to the next level in 2010 with the brand and website we have developed. If you’re in the greater Lethbridge area we strongly reccommend checking out their services whether it’s a new deck, fenced backyard or high profile masonry project to make your neighbours jealous.

“Quarantine sets the standard in high end Engineer Rated pick-up cargo restraints.”

As cargo securement nets become the topic of discussion in today’s safety-conscious society, tougher cargo securement regulations are already being considered. In many provinces and states throughout North America, police are handing out hefty fines for improper load securement. For instance, by the year 2010 in the province of Alberta, an operator of a pick up truck will be not only responsible for cargo securement, but be required to use an approved cargo restraint net that has a working load limit indicated on the product. Quarantine Restraints Ltd. aims to maintain the highest cargo securement standards in all its products and be a leader in the area of vehicle regulations as they pertain to cargo safety and securing cargo. Laconic knows that the staff at Quarantine are well on their way to making their products more accessible across North America and a strong marketing partnership will only make this vision a definite reality.
