This is an example of a framed aviation guidon for a member of Echo Company, 4th Battalion, 3rd Aviation Regiment. This embroidered aviation guidon measures 12” x 9”. It was custom framed and given as an expression of gratitude to a member of the unit. The design for the Echo Company, 4th Battalion, 3rd Aviation Regiment guidon includes an opening for the Brawler Battalion challenge coin in the swallowtail area of the guidon. Directly beneath the aviation guidon is a silver satin finish custom nameplate with black line borders. On the left side of the nameplate is a quartermaster pin. On the right side of the nameplate is a first lieutenant’s bar. The design for the aviation guidon frame utilized triple mats. These mats match the aviation guidon’s colors. The top and bottom mats are a royal blue, and the middle mat is a yellow/gold that matches the colors in the guidon. The guidon and the objects are triple matted using acid-free/conservation grade mats. Acid-free foamboard is used to provide additional depth and separation for the objects beneath the glass. Surrounding the objects is an open V-groove. The reveal created by the open V-groove serves to separate the guidon and its objects from the frame by providing color contrast. The frame is an all-wood, brushed silver finish. This frame choice is a very popular option for custom framed guidons and military shadow boxes.
