MONTGOMERY – A new community enrichment center dedicated to lifelong learning will feature a name and logo designed by Copperwing. The Montgomery-based firm was selected by a partnership of the City of Montgomery, Montgomery City-County Public Library and The Children's Museum of Alabama to promote a facility that will house both the library and museum at One Dexter Plaza, formerly One Court Square.

Mayor Todd Strange publicly unveiled the name and logo during a press conference on Friday, February 18. After a competitive review on December 15, 2010, Copperwing won the naming, identity and ongoing brand management work for Questplex, a name that resonated with board members. The board also approved a larger identity and branding campaign that will unfold in the coming months.

Copperwing specializes in creating high-profile identities and branding campaigns and has been actively involved in planning the roll-out for Questplex. “It is an honor to be part of a project that will benefit our entire community in so many ways. The branding is very dynamic, a mirror image of the spirit of Questplex,” stated Angela Stiff, Copperwing principal and creative director.
