The “Military Insignia3D” project is well underway. This time I have decided to tackle the two specific insignia I have missed earlier – the official U.S. Army Symbol (not to be confused with the U.S. Army Seal) and the U.S. Army Logo. One of the reasons I have decided to work on the above-mentioned insignia was the fact that U.S. Army has now opened their official store on Zazzle, which, coincidentally, happened to be the home base for my “Military Insignia 3D” project. Consequently, the two above-mentioned insignia were the only two official insignia allowed for commercial use within the U.S. Army Fan Merch program. It wouldn't make sense to miss such an opportunity of being able to offer my artwork on the official U.S. Army merchandise… The United States Army is the main branch of the United States Armed Forces responsible for land-based military operations. It is the largest and oldest established branch of the U.S. military, and is one of seven U.S. uniformed services. The modern army has its roots in the Continental Army which was formed on 14 June 1775, to meet the demands of the American Revolutionary War before the establishment of the United States. The Congress of the Confederation officially created the United States Army on 3 June 1784 after the end of the Revolutionary War to replace the disbanded Continental Army. The army considers itself to be descended from the Continental Army and thus dates its inception from the origins of that force. The primary mission of the army is "to fight and win our Nation’s wars by providing prompt, sustained land dominance across the full range of military operations and spectrum of conflict in support of combatant commanders." The army is a military service within the Department of the Army, one of the three military departments of the Department of Defense. The army is headed by the Secretary of the Army, and the top military officer in the department is the Chief of Staff of the Army. The highest ranking army officer is currently the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. As always, the above insignia are available on a limited number of selected quality products via “U.S. Army Fan Merch” galleries at Zazzle. You might want to ensure that a design is listed as “Designed by Serge867 for usarmyshop” as on the example found here... To make it easier to locate my products in a disarray of the U.S. Army Shop, I have created a gift guide with clickable links to each and every product I offer. Just by clicking on a number under each thumbnail, one should be able to navigate directly to the product page, from where the product can be customized and purchased. The Gift Guide can be found here... I will also make my insignia designs available free of charge to any military units and personnel, for any non-profit/non-commercial and charitable causes, benefiting troops and their families. In addition, I would make my designs available free of charge to any military branches, formations and units for any non-commercial internal duty-specific purposes, such as unit-related web design, training materials or presentations, as I did on many occasions in the past.
