Project Ingvaeonic

REMINDER: The window for submissions will close on May 15th. The prizes for submissions will be as follows: First place - $1000 AUD Second place - $250 AUD Any other valued contribution - $100 AUD — As an additional note, we'd like to emphasise our desire for submissions incorporating elements capable of being used in a coat of arms. This design (first attached image), from the same illustrator as the earlier draft coats of arms, serves as a showcase of the heraldic style we hope to see more of. Currently, we're hamstrung in our efforts to develop an official coat of arms for the overarching organisation due to slow progress in producing drafts for state symbols/totems, representing our state/area chapters (second image shows current drafts). Our aim is to have a national coat of arms with divisions representing each of the states, similar to Australia's official Commonwealth Coat of Arms (third image). If you, or someone you know, can contribute designs in a classical heraldic style - please let us know.

3/3: This designer submitted a very compelling example of what our branding could look like, making very good use of historic Anglo-Saxon motifs within a clean, professional modern style - well-suited to a range of digital and printed applications, especially websites and flyers, as well as digital campaign imagery. We'd like to commend his use of the colour-palette outlined in our top post, as well as his well-considered use of filters to allow photographic elements and artistic designs to inhabit the same visual space side-by-side without clashing.

2/3: This illustrator developed an impressive draft for a coat of arms, which - with some refinements - the organisation and its affiliates might be able to use in a variety of forms and applications. We'd like to be able to develop a professional-quality coat of arms to represent White Australia for use in letterheads, branding materials, etc - it speaks to our focus on incorporating elements of our perennial racial character and history into a forward-thinking and forward-looking movement. On this subject, note the well-developed use of the nose/eyebrow piece from the Sutton Hoo helmet. We'd be delighted to see more submissions with a similar focus and subject-matter to these.

1/3: This designer gave us a great range of examples of his interpretation of the style, showing how it can be applied to websites, document design, membership cards and online shopfronts. We were very impressed with his tasteful, impactful use of the colours specified in the original post calling for submissions, his professional-quality use of transparent background elements (e.g. our rune backdrop) to add visual flavour, and the great incorporation of the movement's symbols and other symbolic motifs into the designs. Unfortunately, we can't show all of his work - it should be fairly clear what the blurred elements are covering. This is just a limited selection of this designer's excellent work. [ Note: The text in these images was provided by the designer, and should not be interpreted as the statements of the organisation or its affiliates. ]

We'd like to show you some of the best submissions we've received so far, as a source of inspiration for future submissions, and to give an idea of what resonated with the organisation's leadership. We appreciate the contributions of every designer who has shown us their work so far, and look forward to seeing more. [ Note: We've had to blur out the swastikas on these (lame, we know) because we haven't yet succeeded in our constitutional challenge against Australia's swastika bans. ]

As another reference point for what we're hoping to see in submissions, here is some of the Homeland Party's branded material - note the use of a consistent colour palette, coherent modern style, and use of well-designed simple motifs. Submissions for a branding deck should reflect a similar set of use-cases for our own material, in our own style. Bear in mind that our preference for colour palettes which mainly emphasise blue, white and red - permitting gold and black accents and shading - may dictate a different stylistic approach to Homeland's simple green-and-white.

Here are some images which, taken together, should give an idea of the style and colour choice we're looking for. Submissions of work in the same vein are very welcome.

OPEN TENDER for NS/WN artists and creators - Project Ingvaeonic Objective: Building a visual branding deck, with accompanying artistic elements, for the 'White Australia' political group. Style Summary: A 21st Century Australian National Socialist aesthetic, based on a synthesis of traditional Anglo-Saxon motifs with a clean, vector-based style. Application: The immediate use of the branding deck to create a coherent and streamlined style for online and print promotional material, including a website, leaflets, posters, membership cards and physical banners. Meaning: Although its initial application is purely for promotional and membership material for the organisation, the art-style itself would aim to set a standard for the movement as it develops and expands in scope and significance. Suggested elements: Central motif: Australian Swastika Flag, NSN flag, EAM flag. Additional key elements: Runes, NS symbology, Anglo-Saxon weave and trim, animal symbolism, Sutton Hoo style artwork. Colour: Blue, white and red from the Australian flag, with sparing use of black and gold. Font: Must project power and authority, flexible from NS style to more modern. Inspiration: Striking, sharp, clean, aggressive - aiming to visually suggest a seamless continuity of a primordial, vital past with a dynamic, uncompromising future. For visual inspiration, check https://t.me/ProjectIngvaeonic - we'll be posting aesthetic points of reference periodically, in order to give an idea of what we'd like to see. HOW TO HELP Submissions: If you are interested in submitting a draft for any part of the project contact @ProjectIngvaeonicSubmissions. Prizes: The artist/designer responsible for sending in the best draft submissions by our deadline will be awarded a 1000 AUD prize - expect further details to be given.
