Army Warrant Officer Coin Design

I need a circular, full-color challenge coin that celebrates the Warrant Officer Corps in a realistic style.

Front
• Centerpiece: the Warrant Officer rising-eagle crest rendered with faithful detail—feathers, talons, and wreath fully shaded.
• Banner wrapping the lower rim: “Quiet Professionals” in a bold yet elegant typeface that will stay legible once struck.

Back
• View the eagle from behind. The spine should morph into the progressive Warrant Officer rank insignia, flowing from WO1 at the base up to CW5 between the wings.
• Lower banner: “The Real Backbone of the Army” following the same typography and curvature used on the front to keep the set cohesive.

Color & Finish
Full color is key: authentic eagle browns, clean metal accents, and vivid heraldic touches that will survive conversion to die-struck plating. Think Illustrator or Affinity Designer layers so Pantone calls can be adjusted before minting.

Deliverables
• Print-ready vector files (AI or EPS) with text outlined and colors on dedicated layers
• 2D mockups of both faces at actual size (1.75–2 in recommended)
• A simple 3D render or shaded JPEG so I can show leadership a preview before we commit to tooling

I’ll approve the design once the artwork meets the above specs, keeps all lettering crisp at coin scale, and passes a quick test engraving provided by the mint. Looking forward to your creative take on this piece of Warrant Officer pride.
