Summary

[edit]
Description

The Traditional Castle logo of the United States Army Corps of Engineers, which has long been a symbol of the Corps. It was use on uniforms in 1839 and adopted in 1840, but may have been in use before that. The designer is unknown, and the castle is possibly patterned after the one of the city gates of Verdun, France. It was replaced as the primary Corps symbol in 1981 with a modernized version, and today its use is limited to awards, historic presentations, executive and military officer letterhead, business cards and similar applications.
