Verkstadsadministrativt centrum vapen (Sweden) Hoodie - Design Description
This hoodie features the striking coat of arms of Verkstadsadministrativt centrum (VAC), the Workshop Administrative Center of the Swedish Armed Forces Logistics Command. The design, crafted in 2008 by Lokal_Profil, presents a powerful and symbolic visual statement.
Central Emblem: The Eight-Legged Horse
At the heart of the design lies a silver, eight-legged horse in full gallop. This equine figure, inspired by Sleipnir from Norse mythology, is the key element. Its eight legs symbolize speed, agility, and the swiftness crucial to military logistics, representing the rapid movement of equipment and resources overseen by VAC.
Luxurious Details and Dynamic Energy
The horse's mane, tail, and hooves are rendered in shimmering gold. This choice of color signifies the high standards, excellence, and dedication that VAC embodies. Further amplifying the dynamism of the design are golden lightning bolts that emanate from the horse's hooves. This visual flourish vividly portrays the fast-paced and dynamic nature of VAC's operational activities.
Background and Color Palette
The entire composition is set against a deep blue field, the traditional color of the Swedish Armed Forces. This color choice firmly grounds the design within its military context, representing loyalty, service, and the core values of the organization. The combination of silver, gold, and blue creates a visually impactful design, instantly recognizable as the official emblem of VAC.
