Starting from Scratch? Unit crests and logos are developed for a flat $295.00 fee, which can often be paid for with AFC-30 funds (confirm with your COCO). This covers all the time, sketch work, communication and final rendering necessary to create a professional and sharp crest for your unit. This vector art is fully ready for screenprinted apparel, challenge coins, patches, and decals, so no additional artwork setup fee is required for those items.
Want to Modify An Existing Crest? If you just need to have an existing, approved design "cleaned up" a bit, the fee is $74.99/hour (not to exceed $299.96) and most designs can be rendered in three hours or less. If a design element is already on file (such as the Cutterman's Pin), you don't get charged for it. This time savings could lead to several hundred dollars in savings for your unit.
Purchasing Finished Artwork: Many t-shirt companies will make a logo for your unit at a very low price, but they're assuming you'll always use THEM for production. So it can be a major hassle to get them to "release" the artwork to you for use with another company. CutterAgent takes a different approach -- your purchase of the design is seperate from any other work you do with us. Meaning, if you already have an apparel printer or patchmaker you like, I'll cheerfully turn the artwork over to them for production. After all, you've paid for the art -- not just for an in-house "setup fee".
Recognition by the Experts: CutterAgent works closely with the Army Institute of Heraldry in Fort Belvoir, Virginia to ensure that designs meet Federal guidelines for military heraldry. Once your designs are complete, they're sent to the Institute for registration as your unit's insignia.
