[tirrigh-heralds] Received AoA, now I need CoA

[Michael Chorney]

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
