Laick Design is proud to highlight our latest collaboration with one of Butler County’s most iconic landmarks—the Historic Penn Theater. Our team recently designed a bold, modern advertisement that will appear in the upcoming 2026 Experience Butler County Visitors Guide, helping to spotlight the theater’s continued cultural impact and its exciting lineup of community events.
A Visual Tribute to a Butler Landmark
The ad centers around the Penn Theater’s unmistakable neon marquee—an architectural gem glowing with vintage charm. We enhanced the dramatic lighting and vibrant colors to create a visual that instantly catches a reader’s attention while celebrating the classic Art Deco style the theater is known for.
To reinforce the Penn’s strong brand identity, we used clean, modern typography paired with the theater’s signature red accent color. This creates a seamless blend of historical identity and fresh, contemporary design—perfect for reaching both longtime residents and new visitors exploring the area.
Designed to Drive Engagement
In addition to the striking imagery, the ad features a QR code prominently placed to encourage immediate interaction. With a quick scan, users can access upcoming events, movie schedules, and community activities at thepennhtheater.org. This creates a convenient pathway for travelers browsing the guide to turn interest into action.
We also included clear location details and an inviting call to check out the Penn’s lineup, helping guide visitors directly to Main Street in downtown Butler—an area known for its beloved shops, restaurants, and revitalized cultural scene.
Supporting Local Tourism & Community Growth
Being part of the 2026 Experience Butler County Visitors Guide means this ad will reach thousands of travelers planning their trips for the upcoming year. Laick Design is honored to support the theater’s mission to engage the community, preserve local history, and remain a key entertainment destination in Butler County.
This project continues our ongoing partnership with the Penn Theater, where we’ve also been designing updated signage and modernizing their communications as they continue their revitalization efforts.
Bringing Local Stories to Life Through Design
The Penn Theater is more than a venue—it’s a symbol of the region’s heritage and a gathering place for generations. Our goal with this ad was to capture that spirit in a single compelling visual while making it easy for readers to learn more, connect, and attend future events.
We’re excited for visitors near and far to discover the beauty and energy of the Penn Theater when they flip through the 2026 guide.
