It’s govt. So.. design and development of the logo, committee approvals of the logo, then specifying the paint, then qualification of the paint, then contracting out the paint for production to multiple bidders, the whole bid process and approvals, then application of the paint, qualification of the application process, don’t forget documentation time and any changes ......
Not being argumentative, but isnt that all done. Back in 1973? I agree though...I think we know who is putting up most rockets. A sticker on the rear window is enough.
