The idea behind this design is to create a seal blending all the things you mentioned in your creative brief. I started with the wordmark design. I used a stencil type based on US military letters used on crafts in WWII. For the maiden word, I put together a vintage display lettering with embellishments to both add contrast and pull the whole design together. I'm still working on the skeleton eagle illustration, but I wanted to put something up to get feedback before the first round ended.
