Dan Edwards and Teri Ward
Copper Bella Name and Logo
Plastic Engineer Teri Ward applied a known technology in the automotive industry to the building and construction industry to create a high quality, low cost alternative to sheet metal products. This idea led to copper plating thermoplastic building elements including finials, cupolas, post toppers, attic vents and leader heads for guttering. This patent pending product is stronger than traditional handmade copper products and is much more cost effective. She and her business partner Dan Edwards wanted a company name and logo to reflect strength, elegance and timeless beauty.
Using the French fleur de lis as visual inspiration, we combined it with the Italian word Bella, which means beautiful with the word copper. Thus giving Copper Bella’s name and logo a traditional European feel while highlighting the product’s beauty and modern manufacturing process.
