Font and Colors

Incarnate Word Cardinals Emblem

The head of the cardinal is drawn in a simple style without trying to convey realism. The artists outlined the main outlines, the eye, the beak with wide black lines, and made the free inner space red. This is very different from the 1998-2010 version when the designers had to depict the feathers in the wings and tail in detail.
