Leftlane Designs Receives 2008 Houston’s Best AwardNovember 7, 2008

WASHINGTON D.C., November 6, 2008 — LeftLane Designs has been selected for the 2008 Houston’s Best Award in the Graphic Arts category by the U.S. Local Business Association (USLBA).

LeftLane Designs receives the 2008 Houston's Best Award for Graphic Arts.The USLBA “Best of Local Business” Award Program recognizes outstanding local businesses throughout the country. Each year, USLBA members are asked to identify companies they believe have achieved exceptional marketing success and overall customer satisfaction in their local market and business category. These local companies enhance the positive image of small businesses through service to their customers and community.

A record number of surveys were submitted this year by members from all fifty states. The awards represent excellence in local business and rate the best local businesses in three different categories: Marketing, Image, and Community.

“This year marks our 20th Anniversary at LeftLane Designs, and we’re proud of the success that our client partners have enjoyed as a direct result of our collaboration,” said Shawn Hesketh, owner and founder of the design firm, whose expertise lies in the creation of unique identity systems, logos, websites and branding materials for small to mid-sized businesses.

The 2008 USLBA Award Program focused on quality, not quantity. Winners are determined based on the overall merits of each category rather than how many votes a local business receives. However, to qualify for a 2008 USLBA Award, a program must receive at least 1 percent of the popular vote.
