Coats of Arms

[Vladimir]

Deg, you're awesome. Thanks for helping keep this tradition alive.

[deguerra]

Vlad, you haven't changed your signature yet. Don't leave me hanging!

It's come to my attention that TinCows character is a Baron, so here is his updated Arms.

Also, I've been fearlessly putting myself in the firing line for the betterment of humanity and testing new things on me so that all may benefit. As such, and I'm sure you've noticed, I've given myself a second arms to correspond to my land holdings (Bern). If anyone wants this done, speak up.

Odd, I thought I did. Fixed now.

[Braden]

deg a review of my CoA’s is in order.

Henri is now a Baron of the Duchy of Lorraine with ownership of Metz.

Fire away! I’m not sure how these additions can be added.

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

Well Looks like I am going to need a new coat of arms to get me in the mood for my new avatar.

The idea is along these lines.

A Blue shield with red trim, with a Fleur de Lye at each corner. In the center of the shield is a pear, below it is a horizontal sword, and above it the lion of Aquitaine. if I could just see that.

[deguerra]

Braden: Most sensical to me would be:

-replace the Aquitaine elements of your Arms (top left) with Lorraine ones
-have Metz as a separate shield (a la my signature)

do you want me to try that out?

Culture:

You could just see that. IMO the Fleur de Lys should perhaps go further down to fill all that blue space, but let me know.

Yeah your totally right, moving the Fleur de Lys down sounds like a good idea.


also, could you tilt the pear to the right a bit? Much obliged

hhhmmmm..... I feel like there is still a bit too much space. Let me think of just one more thing to add.

I'll have a look but I'm not a big fan of seperate shields so we might try a quartered shield as well.

[Ferret]

Can I have a white subshield with this boar on it: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fi...ure_-_Boar.svg

in front of the Lorraine shield (assuming they'll have me) please.

nevermind, it should be fine if you just move the Fleur de whats down a bit more

[deguerra]

I'll have a look but I'm not a big fan of seperate shields so we might try a quartered shield as well.

In that case, I'll got nuts with quarters. Have, say, your current shield (lets call it your Family shield) in 2 quarters, one for Lorraine and one for Metz?

Can do. Be aware that so far nobody other than Dukes have used their House shield though. So feel free to design your own if you want.

Good. I think its busy enough as it is

You are the expert...lets go CRAZY and see what you come up with.

[shlin28]

Hmm... I have no idea what my coat-of-arms should look like. So I'll go for something simple:

First, here is the heraldry for La Salle. The lion and the white leopard can be changed to whatever colour you think looks best Then add in a Lorraine sub-shield in the middle, and I'm happy

Thanks in advance.

[deguerra]

can do. sorry about the wait guys, but my uni week is fairly busy from tuesday to thursday and then i work all of friday, so i'll get onto these on the weekend. shouldn't be long then

Think we'll live...huh? Students!

[deguerra]

Braden, this took the poor student hours, hope you like. the black and white is the Arms of Metz btw:

get to the other two later today

[deguerra]

and the other two, let me know what you think and I'll provide the signature sized ones:

also my i note that all of the Lorrainy vassals save for their Duke have felt the need to incorporate the Lorraine arms. Compensating for something?

[Ferret]

That'll do me nicely thank you. And it's just because we're very very loyal

[shlin28]

Yes... loyal...

Anyway, my one seems to look weird. Putting a sub-shield on top kinda ruins the effect I think.

Could you please change it so that it is quartered instead?

Lion on the top left, leopard bottom right, Lorraine top right, and something on the bottom left... the symbol for Lorraine again? Or something else entirely? Whatever you think is best would do.

Actually, scrap all my ideas, Deguerra can do whatever he wants with my coat of arms, I'm sure it will look brilliant - far better than any of my ideas at the very least

I like! but you have NO idea how tempting it was to say I hate it and the student has to do it again...I am true evil...muhahahahahah!

Moved the middle shield one teensy bit as it looked odd:

If you want my opinion, I'm a simplicist. I saw the arms you sent me and loved them straight away, so I'd just go with them:

You've had enough time put into your arms. Don't even think of conquering any more or becoming King!
Actually, I think AussieGiant holds the record for number or redesigns by a margin of about 50

Will do

[Braden]

Ahh..

Thanks for all the hard work Deg but...

I'm now Duke of Lorraine...need another CoA!

[deguerra]

You will? What did you have in mind?

[Braden]

I'm gonna leave that one totally up to you for a change

[deguerra]

Hehe.

Well to be perfectly honest, I don't really think you need one. You've got Lorraine covered in your Coat of Arms now. If you want, we could add a second Lorraine quarter in place of one of the other ones, but that's about all I would do.

[Braden]

Your the expert in this..I'll go with what I've got.

Thanks

[shlin28]

Hullo again.

Now that I am a Baron, my Coat of Arms needs to be upgraded - just add in the Baron's thingy on it would be enough. Also, if you could help me find the Coat of Arms for Metz it would be great.
