This week I had a project that I had completely forgotten about until my boss asked me about the status. “Ummm, I’m glad you mentioned it because that one had gotten away from me, sir.”
I explained that I had a few revisions to make on the truck wrap layout and then I would “start on it.”
The project is a Command Medal for Fiesta 2011. How could I forget it?! This project allowed me to be a little more creative. Or maybe it was not having to use Army Green or Camo that was so appealing. What inspired the options that I submitted? There were several things. Of course, the City of San Antonio’s landmarks, a coworker’s collection of past medals and finally, the 2011 Fiesta Poster.
The poster is the one that inspired my favorite option of the four that I provided. It is the one I’ll share here.
I’ve provided a link to the Fiesta poster and an image of the medal option so it can be compared. I used the round wreath look that the poster has and added ribbons at the bottom which gives the medal more dimension. I love the way the artist used the ribbons to symbolize the water from the riverwalk. Using bright colors was another element that I utilized to help depict “fiesta “. To distinguish San Antonio I included the Alamo and the tower in the center. A requirement was the use of the command logo which I placed above the wreath. The other options provided the usual Army image. Yet there was an option that I included where I used the flag, family, environment and community icons from the IMCOM logo within the shape of the state of Texas. I wouldn’t mind if either design is chosen. In the end it’s not my choice.
