I love a good cause. A former marine, whose family owns the Firestone Vineyards, created this special limited edition, to support the Marine Corps Scholarship Foundation. To tie into the military theme, I used desert-storm colors and marine symbol imagery: the uniform hat, sabers, and the famous photo of the marines raising the flag at Iwo Jima. Semper Fidelis, or always loyal/faithful, was included on some of the designs, which raised copyright/legal concerns with using official marine icons. Designs below show the initial presentation, and progression to the final label.
the marine logo was initially meant to be blind embossed on the label
