3. USTRANSCOM Breezeway Emblem.pdf

This document is a technical specification and design reference for a 3D emblem rendering project for USTRANSCOM (United States Transportation Command). The emblem, titled "The Compass of Motion," features a stylized compass rose with a mythological hippocampus (winged seahorse) as its central element, designed to represent USTRANSCOM's mission of global military logistics and transportation.

The specification provides detailed dimensional and material specifications for eleven distinct design elements that comprise the emblem. Element dimensions range from the 1ST Layer Rear Black Backing Compass Rose (7.1 x 7.5 ft) to smaller decorative stars (8 in x 8 in). Material specifications include five primary layers of compass rose backing in black and Pantone colors (4655U and 300SU), a translucent globe backing, a spunky black backing, and various embossed and pointed star elements. Thickness specifications are standardized across most elements at 0.5 inches, with exceptions including the 1ST Layer at 2 inches and the Four Embossed-Pointed Stars at 2 inches. The boundary ring is specified as 0.5 inch thick and 2 inches in overall thickness. The document notes that Elements 8, 10, and 11 will be provided in embossed 3D form, with 3D files available upon request. An accompanying artist statement plaque (12 in x 12 in acrylic) provides the creative narrative by artist Xavier Razo, explaining the emblem's symbolic connection to USTRANSCOM's operational mission across air, sea, and land domains.
