[tirrigh-heralds] Received AA, now I need A

[Runescope]

Okay, sorry for the long delay in getting back to everyone.  It seems
whenever I start a personal project everyone wants a piece of me :D

ANYWAYS,   I received a ton of information, a lot of it I had to get a
dictionary for! But the general gist of what I could understand is "Too
Complicated"  So I went back to the drawing board (literally!) and we'll try
version two out on you fine folks.

Just as a general background, what I wanted to convey with my Arms (is the
singular still with an 's' on the end?) is a balancing of good/bad.  The
motto (that I apparently didn't have to spend hours figuring out in Latin,
oh well) translates out as "Only as behaved as I have to be".  At least I
hope that's what it translates out to be, that's what it's supposed to
translate out to be, but only having google translate to work with, it could
be a recipe for dumplings. :D

As for the name, well  I figured Thane might be sticky being a title, so I
wouldn't mind something close, but everyone knows me as Thane and that's
what is on my AA so it would have to sound very similar, but Greyhaven
really is a must, as it conveys my willingness to shelter both those who
behave and those who misbehave. 

So I went a little simpler with the design, and I could go even simpler.
There is a border around it that could be dumped easily, and really the sun
in the center is just pure decoration.  All that is needed is the black
castle on white background and white castle on black background.  But I
would like to keep the sun.  I think it gives it a nice flair. :)

Here's the link so you can see for yourself!

Greetings, Thane!
Congratulations on your AA, and also on making the most excellent decision
to design your armoury and get it registered!
As Alicia has mentioned, your current idea is a little on the busy side, but
I'm sure we can work on that. Why don't you tell us a little about why you
chose the elements you selected, and if/why they are important to you? If
one of the items on your suggested device is more critical to you, we can
focus on that as a design motif. 
When designing armoury, you ideally want it to be simple and clean.
Remember, the idea is for it to be easily identifiable and recognizeable at
a distance. The more cluttered it is, the harder that it to do.
Also, as mentioned, there is going to be an issue with your name. Would you
be happy with something that sounded similar? 
Whereabouts are you? Maybe we can find a local herald that you can work with
face-to-face, that can help you with all that stuff. Not that we aren't
happy to assist here, just that it is always easier to work with someone in
person.
As for the motto and such - this kind of stuff is fantastic, and I greatly
encourage its use, but it won't be part of your submission or registered
arms. That doesn't mean don't use it - absolutely do! But your submission
will consist of your name and your device alone.
I hope this was helpful. If you have any more questions, don't hesitate to
ask! That's what we're here for.
In service,
Vladimir Andreivich Aleksandrov

Greetings unto the Lists!

I'm not sure if this made it onto the lists yesterday, if it did, my
apologies for a repost :)


A couple of years ago, I received my Award of Arms, and I’ve finally gotten
around to designing a (VERY) preliminary Coat of Arms. 

I’ve been told that this is the place to request help for design and
approval.  I’m pretty sure I can’t post an image to the list, but this link
will take you to an image of my first draft.

Any and all, critiques and comments welcome!
