Bayman Liquor and the Cotter Area Chamber of Commerce Unveil First Branding Collaboration at Cotter Gateway
June 10, 2026
COTTER, Ark. — Bayman Liquor and the Cotter Area Chamber of Commerce have announced a new community collaboration featuring a freshly painted exterior at the Bayman building on the corner of 62B and Harding Boulevard, designed to reflect the Cotter brand and celebrate the River District.
The building stands at a key entrance to Cotter and serves as a visible marker directing residents and visitors toward the River District in downtown Cotter.
The project is the first collaboration between the Cotter Branding Team and a local business, creating a new model for public-facing partnerships that reinforces community identity and promotes local destinations.
The artwork was painted by Dennis Windell and highlights Cotter’s visual identity in a highly trafficked location near downtown.
Owners Bob and Kriss Yunker are thrilled to have a partnership with Cotter. “This collaboration is a meaningful way for Bayman Liquor to invest in Cotter’s identity and support the continued visibility of the River District at one of the city’s main entrances” said Kriss Yunker.
“The goal of the artwork was to create something distinctive, welcoming, and true to the Cotter brand while giving visitors a clear visual cue that they are arriving somewhere special” said artist Dennis Windell. Dennis, along with the Cotter Brand’s lead graphic artist, Tim Rails, worked closely with Kriss and her team to highlight Bayman’s new logo and its connection to the Cotter brand.
Chamber leaders said the collaboration demonstrates how local businesses can help strengthen Cotter’s sense of place while welcoming travelers into the community.
