United States Coast Guard // Mardi Gras
Swag items for the festivities!
A Coast Guard Recruiting Command District Leader was given the opportunity to represent the Coast Guard Recruiting Command in New Orleans on a float for Mardi Gras '25. For this event we needed a custom logo (horizontal and vertical formats), a hoodie with eye-catching artwork for attending Coasties to wear, and giveaway items like small footballs and beads with medallions. For the logo, no New Orleans swag is complete without the use of the fleur-de-lis and a script font to go hand in hand with the fun vibe of the parade. I took an already existing linocut octopus and gave it a cajun flair with colors and assets.
Color Palette
Back to NOLA!
For this time around we needed a custom logo (horizontal and vertical formats), a hoodie with eye-catching artwork for attending Coasties to wear, and giveaway items like small footballs and metal buttons to throw from the float. For the logo this year, we went with an alligator holding an anchor and wearing a necklace with the USCG CGRC logo to bring more brand awareness. The color palette was the same Mardi Gras colors as the previous year, but also incorporated Coast Guard's red and blue into the mix.
