<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div>Greetings, Thane!<br><br></div>Congratulations on your AA, and also on making the most excellent decision to design your armoury and get it registered!<br><br>
</div>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. <br>
<br></div>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.<br>
<br></div>Also, as mentioned, there is going to be an issue with your name. Would you be happy with something that sounded similar? <br><br></div>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.<br>
<br></div>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.<br>
<br></div>I hope this was helpful. If you have any more questions, don't hesitate to ask! That's what we're here for.<br><br></div>In service,<br></div>Vladimir Andreivich Aleksandrov<br></div>(almost-but-not-quite-yet) Silver Yale Herald<br>

I'm not sure if this made it onto the lists yesterday, if it did, my<br>
apologies for a repost :)<br>
<br>
<br>
A couple of years ago, I received my Award of Arms, and I’ve finally gotten<br>
around to designing a (VERY) preliminary Coat of Arms. <br>
<br>
I’ve been told that this is the place to request help for design and<br>
approval. I’m pretty sure I can’t post an image to the list, but this link<br>
will take you to an image of my first draft.<br>
<br>
Any and all, critiques and comments welcome!<br>
