Marshall Plan Logo - U.S.-Supported European Recovery Initiative #2271052 (License: Personal Use)

This emblem features a stylized American flag motif-four white stars on a blue field above red vertical stripes-with bold text declaring “FOR EUROPEAN RECOVERY” and “SUPPLIED BY THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.” Designed in 1948, it marked U.S. economic assistance to rebuild war-torn Western Europe after WWII. The shield-like shape conveyed protection, partnership, and national commitment.

Used on shipping crates, posters, government documents, and public information campaigns during the Marshall Plan era; commonly appears in historical exhibits, educational resources, and policy analyses about U.S. foreign aid and Cold War diplomacy.
