illustration-vintage-emblem

Draws original hand-authored SVG badge illustrations in a vintage emblem style for design and coding subjects. Identifying traits: a seven-colour screen-print palette (green-black ink, cream, terracotta, sand, tan, pale, a touch of teal) with no gradients; one chunky hero object in thick 3.6 px ink outlines, shaded with woodcut gouges and lit with pale streaks; a terracotta sun disc behind it, cut free by a 7.5 px cream keyline; a hard horizontal edge slicing the scene into a dark splash band with cream droplets punched out; a heavy condensed wordmark over a letterspaced serif tagline. Covers lockups, hero objects, gulls, splash bands and lettering. Use when someone asks for a vintage emblem, retro badge, crest, logo-style, screen-print, poster, sticker, patch or merch-style illustration, or a badge card for a team, event, release, empty state, 404 page, blog header or marketing card.

# Illustration: Vintage emblem

A screen-printed badge on cream paper: one bold object on a sun disc, a splash of ink along a hard bottom edge, and a heavy condensed wordmark with a small serif tagline. It suits named things (a club, a release, a principle, a team ritual) where the words are part of the picture.
Use `illustration-two-colour-brush` instead for loose brush-painted scenes in two inks; `illustration-teal-spot` for a single-colour spot object with no lettering; `illustration-flat-with-black` for a flat character scene with solid black shapes.

Extracted from a set of 42 original design-and-coding cards in 14 styles; the three cards in examples/ are this style's shipped cards.

## The look in one sentence
One chunky object, outlined in thick green-black ink and shaded with carved ink wedges, stands on a terracotta sun disc that a 7.5 px cream keyline cuts it free from, while a hard horizontal edge slices the scene into a dark splash band with cream droplets punched out, all locked up over a heavy condensed wordmark.

## Palette
Measured from the examples. Seven flat colours, nothing else.
