Back in December I reported that Blue Bell Creamery based in Texas, was embarking on a year long 100th anniversary campaign. Part of that celebration is turning the creamery’s old-timey logo into a life-like bronze sculpture. Local artist Veryl Goodnight was chosen to complete the task.
The logo, featuring a young girl leading a Jersey cow, is only a silhouette, so the act of bringing it to a three-dimensional, life size has been no easy task. “Blue Bell Cow and Girl,” as the sculpted version of the logo has been named, will be cast in bronze.
Goodnight estimated the sculpture will have cost at least $50,000 and one year of her time when it is delivered. She is making one life-sized sculpture and 21 miniature versions.
