Ok, I changed the tower as you requested and made sure that the star is evenly divided in half.

Sweet! Nice job, Txec. I'm wondering if it's missing something though - I'll give it some thought.

Also, is the outline of the bricks halfway up on the left half of the tower slightly discoloured?

Hmm, the inclusion of a Tudor Rose, as depicted here, might do it. My logic being that although it is traditionally an English emblem, it was adopted by Henry VII, a Welshman. The colours of the Tudor Rose probably represent some of my qualities as well. Apparently. I'm not sure what to do about the line dividing my arms; whether we should thicken it, leave it as is, or find a way of removing it? What do you think, sir?

If your last name was Windsor, we might be able to accommodate that.

Hmm, well I need something red. So a rose would be cool, but only if it can be in the form of a rose badge. Is the red rose a restricted charge?

I can certainly add a red rose badge, my problem is where on the escutcheon should I put it? I would hate to ruin the symmetry of the design. Edit: Here is one way this can be done.

Here's a snazzier image for the red rose badge, or even this one.The rules of heraldry confuse me, but is there no way the badge can be placed in front of the tower, roughly half way up?

hey Carlus, where is the the blue and yellow ey? I realised that green, white and red are far nicer colours - not to mention more culturally significant to myself.

The rules of heraldry confuse me, but is there no way the badge can be placed in front of the tower, roughly half way up? A couple of Rules you should be aware of ( that might help): www.kingdomoftalossa.net/index.cgi?lingo=&page=ArmsRulesII. 1. Simplicity – Armory should be simple and unified in design.
II. 1. a. Complexity Rule – Armory must use a limited number of tinctures and types of charges. Right now, you are hovering at 7 - 3 tinctures (Green, White, Red,) 3 devices ( Tower, star, rose) and 1 division ( dividing the field into 2 sections). Eight is normally the cut off point for Complexity. You won't be allowed to place a Red on top of a Green ( 2 Colours). You can place the Red on the White ( Colour on top of Metal)

Not even if the red is part of a device?

Not even if the red is part of a device? The Vert (green) and the Argent (white) are on the Tower , and the tower is a device, too.

Yes, I know that. I thought the rules were different concerning devices, but if I'm wrong that's no big worry.
