ZionEagle Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 Long time no post, eh? Sorry this post isn't logo related, ha. Quip aside, I just recently enlisted in the US Army (just yesterday in fact!), and I knew going into it that there was going to be a lot of things to memorize before OSUT (A variant of Basic Training). So, I set out to find cool images to help me memorize stuff, i.e. the Soldier's Creed, General Orders, etc., because I tend to memorize things more quickly if there's an image attached to it. But unfortunately, most of the stuff that I found on Google just looked outdated and not pleasing to the eye. So I took it upon myself to create a few poster/wallpaper like designs. The first one I did, and the one I'm most proud of, is a poster of the Soldier's Creed: Second, is the LDRSHIP acronym: ^I kind of modeled the style of this one on some graphics the Army's social media often posts. Next, are the General Orders: I'm not too happy with this one, to be honest. I feel like it's lacking in a sense, and I had a really tough time putting together typefaces for this one. So if anyone has advice on how I could improve it if I gave it a next go around, or even font suggestions, feel free to shoot your shot. Next, we have an enlisted rank and insignia poster: Technically, it's missing one rank (Private [PV1][E-1] ), but because that rank does not have an insignia, I didn't feel like it included. Lastly, is a little graphic for the Army's semi-official (or just official? I'm not entirely sure, so don't take my word for it) song: And now for a bonus round, I have some graphics for the phonetic alphabet, and the military Code of Conduct. I wanted to include these, but not with the others, as I only really spiced them up with a background. Excluding that, the rest of the design for these are not my work: That's all for now, your thoughts are appreciated : ) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJWalker45 Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 I like these. They line up a lot with most of the designs I've seen used during my time in. Are you going to Knox, Sill or Benning? Good luck, by the way. There's going to be a lot of things you think are easy and think are hard and they aren't, it's all mental. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First off, thank you for your service and the good wishes I’m glad that they come across that way, that was my intention. I enlisted as a 19 Kilo (M1 Armored Crewman/Tanker), so I’ll be going to Fort Benning. They only just recently moved armor training to there, to my knowledge they do not offer BCT at Ft. Knox anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meetingpeople Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 (edited) I'm sure that after some time you`ll formulate some new postulates from your personal experience. I too had similar posters all over my place during my training and I can tell you it really works! Going through the army is hard as hell, but at the same time it was one of the best years of my youth. During the service, advice to stay out of unpleasant situations and avoid all sorts of inadequate comrades if possible, believe me the army has as many jerks as the average college, I've seen a lot… Just in case, advice https://ucmjdefense.com/army-military-defense-lawyers-court-martial-attorneys.html. But it's always better to have a head on your shoulders. Edited September 5, 2022 by meetingpeople Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
