The making of the Leibstandarte logo

A shako was a really good idea for the logo, definitely a keeper.

Choosing style and perspective.

Looking for a type contemporary to shako. Preparing a “woodcut” illustration.

The woodcut did not make the cut, studying other options.

Shoulder straps, medals, weapons.

All of the above forms a shako.

Indeed, a shako is best for this job. Perfecting the shape.
