Woot! We just added two more industry awards to our name.
The first is from Print Magazine for their 31st Regional Design Annual Competition, honoring the best in graphic design throughout the US. They selected our beer-themed new business prospect poster as a winning entry in the Far West region, which delights us to no [...]
At Barnhart we’re dedicated to our clients. So much so, that we love it when we are recognized for working with them on great campaigns. Heck, we’ll even sacrifice our evenings to attend awards shows on their behalf.
