    AG:

    not sure myself actually. this is simpler, but for some reason the river seems to divide better...but I leave it to you. Also made the fleurs de lys slightly darker:

    Tristan:

    not convinced about the sword-wheat/sickle/fork combo. perhaps its just a colour issue, but something doesnt look quite right yet. that said i didnt want to go too wild without some feedback:

    That looks almost like what I expected... Perhaps putting the wheat ear and sword in gold/yellow with the sword over the the wheat.

    You're right deg

    The river is much better than a straight cut line.

    The dragon was good...it's so hard to choose.

    sorry, nearly missed you there.

    well, we could cut out the capetin bit. reinstert the dragon at the bottom, perhaps just a fleur de lys to symbolize allegiance

    Deguerra, I'm open to suggestions... for more kingly arms...

    I wanted my CoA to reflect the powers of the King both in times of peace (wheat ear) and in times of war (sword)...

    perhaps a sceptre rather than the wheat? wheat seems so peasanty to me :D

    but in general, i feel that we need something else. will have a think.

    i'm afraid my internet is a bit...dead at the moment, should hopefully be better soon, so downloading .svg files is proving difficult
