The Coast Guard Auxiliary is pleased to offer professional Audio, Graphics, Videos, PowerPoint Presentations, Web Pages, Brochures, Flyers and other services to Auxiliarists.
We all desire to make professional presentations to the General Public and Creative Services is eager to help you. There are three steps to successfully utilize Creative Services:
-
First, please familiarize yourself on the Public Affairs Guidelines and USCG Heraldry. These will help you understand the Creative Services Request process and what is possible and more importantly, what is not possible.
-
Second, discuss, review and get approvals from your unit members regarding the work you wish to have done prior to requesting work. This will help you to clarify what you need from Creative Services, reducing rounds of work. Also, NOTE: all logos and challenge coins must have unit approvals - the graphics department requests this be in place before creating logos ad challenge coin artwork.
-
Third, select the appropriate request from the list below. You will be directed to the appropriate page to complete your request.
