Looks good! It took me a second to notice the shade of red is different. I like the new, darker one.

Excellent stuff deguerra.

I was also into Coat of Arms when I was at uni.

We have a family tree in which all the coat of arms throughout the family’s history was represented.

What do you think you could do for the Dread Duke of Austria?

updated the first post to make it more easy to find stuff. if you want your arms as part of your signature, let me know as it may need to be below 10kbytes and i can get rid of the black border.

thanks AussieGiant. I'm afraid my own family was naught but Silesian and Westfalian peasants, so coats of arms are unfortuntely non-present :D would be cool though.

now as for arnold:

i assume some element of austria goes without saying. I could halve it with the venetian coat of arms if you'd like, or the empire, or just leave it as the entire thing.

as for a personalized subshied, some sort of fear inspiring thing would be nice. I found a good (i thought) wolf for Elite Ferret, so it would be nice to have something esle...

Hi deguerra,

My family had a little more "bling" throughout history.

On one of the family trees there was the 4th or 5th wife of one of those fornicating English Kings.

The Family Motto is:

A Stag pressed becomes a Lion.

The family crest is a Red faced Stag on a Silver shield.

As for Arnold then I think you're going in the right direction.

Some part of the Austrian shield with a blood red griffon on a black background or the other way round...

...I can't find anything to date though.

red griffin on a red background or the other way around?

reminds me of the frisian war flag: white eagle on a white background

i assume white in there somewhere?

edit: how about this

That is awesome, I think all the Austrian electors should have that in their sig.

That's pretty damn cool deguerra!!

I believe you have hit on a wonderful idea at personalising and adding extra meaning to peoples characters.

How do I get that photo so I can use it in my sig?
