Michigan State Commander Vehicle

White Ford Explorer with American Legion Department of Michigan graphics and "Michigan State Commander" lettering on the door

This Ford Explorer is the official vehicle for the American Legion's Michigan State Commander — an elected position — so the graphics needed to read as dignified and official, not like standard fleet branding.

The design pairs the state organization's mark and "Michigan State Commander" title lettering with an American-flag graphic across the rear glass, a star-and-stripe rocker panel treatment, and a clean line of military branch seals along the front fender. A "Be The One" veterans-crisis-awareness decal on the hood ties the vehicle to the Legion's national suicide-prevention campaign.

Fully designed and installed in-house. The wrap now travels with the Commander to American Legion events statewide.
