Project was to design a logo to commemorate the sesquicentennial  of Louisiana in the civil war.

 

I did some research on what other states were doing for their commemorative, and it was obvious that the color scheme would be blue and grey with red, white and blue. Our state bird the pelican and the fleur de lis.

 

The color on the wings was a little more conceptual. What I was trying to achieve in version one was a form that indicated the union flag on the left and the confederate flag on the right without being too literally true to the flag forms.
