13 variants of the emblem "Army of Russia" from the Ministry of Defense, or Artistic Climax
The main military department of the country is preparing a truly epochal innovation. Why epochal? Because it concerns the new symbols of the Russian army, namely, those signs and symbols that the world will see on the form of Russian military personnel, on the wings and sides of Russian military equipment. The idea of creating new symbols for a new army seems to be based on quite the right things: a new army, which means that the distinctive signs can be changed according to the new status. But only the ways to solve this serious issue by the Ministry of Defense, to put it mildly, are surprising. However, first things first.
Last week, a meeting of the Public Council at the Ministry of Defense was held in the hall of the Cultural Center of the RF Armed Forces. Sergei Shoigu at a large table gathered scientists, culture, art; there were famous singers, war correspondents, former athletes, politicians and high-ranking military personnel. The main part of the meeting was devoted to attracting contract servicemen to the army, new military uniforms, measures to popularize military service, the need to increase the number of youth military-patriotic clubs in the country. However, as it turned out, the Minister of Defense is the main thing in store for the final stage of the meeting. 13 samples of the new symbols of the Russian army were presented to those gathered, each of whom had to choose the ones that seemed to him the most suitable. Before distributing printouts, artists, musicians and others anticipated the graphic extravaganza and the abundance of dissimilar emblems that corresponded to certain military traditions. But what they saw led the majority of those gathered in a real stupor.
A piece of paper appeared in front of them, on which something was depicted ... Moreover, it was announced to everyone that one option would win out of the "something" presented, and you need to choose and approve it before the beginning of October ... No, well, about the shock deadlines for making decisions knew. Our country is traditionally glorious for this ... By the next anniversary of the Komsomol, to the anniversaries of the revolution, it was a business, they built, handed, handed over, accepted ... And now they try to hand over something timidly, but only military symbols these are not like Olympic facilities, not a cosmodrome, not new houses and apartments, which need more than urgent provision to flood victims in the Amur region ... Why such a hurry? Why exactly before the beginning of October, and not at all until the end of this week? .. What kind of monumental holiday is going to celebrate the Ministry of Defense in October, which does not allow us to devote more time to the proposal and discussion of new military symbols. Isn't it the seventh of October that everyone cares so much? ..
So back to the proposed ministerial "specialists in graphics" options for the emblems of the Russian army. Readers have already managed to look at these "spotlights" and, probably, appreciated them at their true worth ... If it seemed to someone that all these symbols were derivatives of one, and one directly connected with some other army (with which, most readers also guessed ...), then you are not alone with your suspicions. A well-known singer Sergei Mazaev, who was present at the meeting of the Public Council, also noticed that the emblems with stars in circles resemble American ones, which Sergey Shoigu reported. At the same time, Mazaev offered the services of a familiar artist who, in his words, can draw a quote: “a good emblem”. It was a clear unveiled hint that all the presented emblems can be classified as a sort of guano ...
Sergey Shoigu responded to the proposal of the singer in a peculiar way. The head of the military department said that the Ministry of Defense will consider a quote, “one more thing,” but only if this artist draws it quickly. This is where it came up: until the end of September - the beginning of October ... Like, where are they, if there are already thirteen of them! By the way, what a wonderful number for such a significant undertaking is thirteen ...
If even a quick run through the emblems that the unknown depicted (thank God, for himself, that his name remained unknown) is an artist, certain analogies emerge. Well, the stars in the circles - this is an indisputable copy-paste from the American "partners" from the Air Force. And the emblem numbered 8 is what? Army "Star Factory", or what? .. And the first seven options - this is a simple copy of the logo "US Army". And the red star is still “something” and “somehow”, but the blue-and-blue star is what it is all about? .. It is also surprising that the unknown maestro didn’t portray the star against the rainbow flag as an option ...
By the way, this is a selection of graphical analogies that should be demonstrated to the main military department, that maybe you don’t need to hurry with such an important issue, which, maybe, you should still entrust this work to people who are really able to create high-quality The final "product" for which will not be ashamed. After all, the emblem is selected for the Russian army, and not for some shop of amateur plagiarists ...
