Not so long ago I was contacted by Mike Burns, Col. AV, a
coordination officer for the Department of Defense Future Vertical lift
Initiative. In a nutshell, it is an effort to assess, design, develop and field
the next generation of vertical lift aircraft for the U.S. Department of
Defense (basically the family of aircraft that will replace current
helicopters). Mike developed a logo he would like me to work a bit of magic on.
The wings are in the position they are to represent vertical flight. The
purpose of the five-colored triangles is to represent the five services that
are participating in the Joint program. Green for Army, Red for Marines. The three
different blues represent Navy, Air Force, and Coast Guard. Purple is the Department
of Defense color for Joint Multi-Service. The black on the broad arrowhead is
meant to represent Special Operations and also symbolizes the aggressive/attack
side of vertical lift aviation.
The result of this effort can be seen below.
