Insignias - During World War II, Walt Disney and his staff were asked to create insignias, or logos, for military units. After the Disney Studio had done a few and these were seen by other units, the number of requests multiplied. The insignias were used on jackets, and painted on ships and airplanes. The morale of the units was helped by the use of familiar Disney characters, and eventually over 1,200 insignias were created as a Disney contribution to the war effort.
