Bicentennial Commission Unveils Logo for “Alabama 200”
HUNTSVILLE - The Alabama Bicentennial Commission today unveiled a red, white and black logo dominated by a bold numeral 200 with an inset of the state outline to promote the upcoming anniversary of statehood.
The registered trademark will identify corporate sponsors that provide funding for the three-year celebration, chairman Sen. Arthur Orr of Decatur said.
The logo, designed by tourism department art director Tommy Cauthen, was unveiled during a quarterly board meeting at Alabama Constitution Village, the site where the state’s first constitution was written in the summer of 1819.
Executive director Jay Lamar said the commemoration begins in 2017 and culminates Dec. 14, 2019. The group’s website is www.alabama200.org.
