Army National Guard Logo Change Causes Stir
From the National Guard Association of the United States website
A recruiting rebrand has some worried that the Army National Guard’s iconic Minuteman is on its way out.
A symbol that calls back to the Guard’s pre-Revolutionary War roots, the Minuteman has long been associated with the Guard. But it is absent from the Army Guard’s newest logo, which is a black shield with gold and white text that reads “Army National Guard” with a black star.
The rebranding is the result of a congressional mandate, according to Lt. Col. Wes Parmer, a spokesman for the Army Guard director. But it is not a sign that the Minuteman is on the out.
