Governor unveils state's 'Made in Alabama' brand

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) - Gov. Robert Bentley and leaders of the Alabama Department of Commerce have unveiled a "Made in Alabama" logo that the governor says will be used to help tell Alabama's story to potential economic development clients.
    
The governor showed off the "Made in Alabama" logo printed on a red background at a news conference Tuesday on the state Capitol steps in Montgomery.
