Stratum HQ
Here is a great example of a laser tag arena that incorporates a lot of the branding and impressive designs, I've mentioned briefly so far. Look for more websites with great themeing and look for some of my original sketchs and paintings featuring my themeing designs.

Creating Characters for Branding
Think Disney! I'm not sure if I'm right here but as I started to think about doing themeing jobs, creating brand-awareness through a few "comic book" characters started sounding like a really exciting task. Here are two characters that I designed with the help of a talented young artist (Markus Whitney). Their names are Quinn and Hiroki. Aren't they cute? (yes this is my idea and is available at this time for purchase...LOL).
What do you think of them? FYI: The background is inspired by a laser tag store in Sterling VA that is owned by a friend of mine. His company website is Laser Nation: Where America Plays!

Hiring a Themeing Company or Artist
Basically if you want to have your business themed, your only concerns should be:
1)How well you know the individual/company you want to work with?
2)How much do you want to spend?
3)Do you want an exclusive or non-exclusive relationship?
4)Do you know your legal rights?
5)What kinds of themes (or branding)are right for you? heres an awesome article to get you started: http://www.entrepreneur.com/marketing/branding/article35446.html
(I'll recommend some I like and some I have thought of over the past year later)
Here are a couple sites that can help save you some heartache if you would like your business themed.
