Any good resources? I've got a few bookmarked for individual branches, but this yahoo wants a card set with the 29th Division Association logo and I'm not coming up with much aside from crappy GIFs. Too lazy to recreate it, even though there really isn't much to it.
A little diddie 'bout black 'n cyan...two reflective colors doin' the best they can.

someone posted on this forum a link to vector military logos. don't remember where it was.
[edit]
did a quick goog search and found this site. i looked at about 9 pages, and didn't see yours... but there was some cool stuff here, all in .ai format. http://www.vectorportal.com/category/coat/iType/12/offset/9/type.asp
"There's been a lot of research recently on how hard it is to dislodge an impression once it's been implanted in someone's mind. (This is why political attack ads don't have to be true to be effective. The other side can point out their inaccuracies, but the voter's mind privileges the memory of the original accusation, which was juicier than any counterargument ever could be.)"

Okay, fine - it's for my least favorite sales douche and I didn't want to do him any favors. But, I'm almost done recreating it now. So there!  :ninja:


Anybody have a good feeling on that font? Those numbers are hanging me up...

Look to see if there is a website pertaining to the 29th Division Assoc. and check to see if it has publications you can download. I've gotten lucky many times downloading a pdf of a pub with a vector logo intact. Also you can checkout this site.

Keep this site handy because it will help you out down the road.

Yeah that's always my first go-to option, but these folks just didn't have anything worth a damn, I ended up recreating a close enough version.

Yup, already in The Arsenal!

Century Old Style ended up being the ticket. What the Font was useless, as were their forums
