a while back i had a project dropped in my lap which called for the design of a group of military style embroidered insignias. tonight i was looking through my art archives on the old computer here and came across a bunch of the reference materials i used. i’ve gotta say, these little pieces of latter day heraldry always get my design juices flowing. there is something so gritty and gorgeous about them. (it’s a small irony that the rich history of military imagery lost out to a cheap yellow ribbon when it came to “supporting the troops.”) anyhow, see below for a small selection.

Yeah, the’re nice - don’t you worry!

Lady Luck is looking good!
