military bloc Logos and Brands
The military-political blocs that shaped the geopolitical balance of power throughout the 20th century define the context of the “Military Bloc” section. The Warsaw Pact, NATO, SEATO, and CENTO established collective security systems amid global confrontation. The emblems of the military blocs feature shields, swords, maps of areas of responsibility, and heraldic compositions of the participating countries’ national symbols. This section examines the visual identity of structures in which the military power of several states was united under a common banner to deter the enemy.
