City of Coppell's Logo

The avatar for the Concerned Citizen's of Coppell's Facebook Fan Page and Twitter Feed has been changed. There doesn't need to be any question of use from a copyright standpoint, so a simple Google Map image is in its place.

So many of us love this city and there is good history of our logo.

Here's the information:

The City's logo design is based on Coppell's rich history and heritage. The logo includes crossed post oak branches, three stars and the date the town was first called Coppell. The letter-forms are derived from late 19th-century type with the word "Coppell" customized for a softer, friendlier feel. The post oak branches, resembling old line engravings, give the logo its foundation. The crossed arrangement symbolizes unity and solidity. The post oak tree was selected because of its dominance at Grapevine Springs Park (a historical landmark), its size and longevity and the fact that the wood was used as ties by the railroad. Many claim the railroad put Coppell on the map. The three stars are reminders of three important names associated with the history of the community, Grapevine Springs, Gibbs Station and, of course, Coppell.

The logo was commissioned by City Council in 2000. Gary Klingemann, a longtime Coppell resident and local business proprietor, designed the logo.
