U.S. Army Europe logo on its way out

European edition, Sunday, December 30, 2007
HEIDELBERG, Germany — The U.S. Army Europe logo, with its patch, globe, arrows and declaration of “Any mission, anywhere!” is on the way out, just like the organization itself.
While commanders are working to turn what was USAREUR and V Corps into 7th Army as part of Army transformation, they’re looking to the community to work up a new logo.
Anyone assigned within USAREUR — solider, civilian, local national, or family member — may submit up to three logos for consideration.
There had been three submissions as of last week, said Lt. Col. Rich Spiegel, a USAREUR spokesman.
The logo is unofficial, Spiegel said, and is used on things like PowerPoint presentations, folder covers, coffee mugs and AFN spots.
The logo will be selected by Gen. David McKiernan, USAREUR commander and USAREUR Sgt. Maj. Iuniasolua Savusa. The selection will be announced in March, Spiegel said. They will choose it from a group of up to five finalist logos. The five will be picked as the best ones by a “three-judge, anonymous panel,” Spiegel said.
The logo designer will receive a certificate of achievement in the form of a “scroll” for his or her work.
“It is not a contest or a competition,” Spiegel said. “We are casting a wide net to get the best possible result.”
The main thing that the selected logo will capture, Spiegel said, is the “spirit of the 7th Army.”
Additionally, it must contain no more than five colors and the 7th Army shoulder sleeve insignia, according to the USAREUR homepage. Submissions are due by Feb. 28.
The new logo will make its public debut next spring, Spiegel said.
The soon-defunct USAREUR logo came into use about five years ago, Spiegel said, and was designed by a soldier who worked at USAREUR headquarters.
Designs may be submitted electronically to Newlogo@eur.army.mil or mailed to:
