I like this much better! I think that's it! Thanks to the College for coming up with a beautiful coat of arms!

Have you tried a bendlet sable fimbriated argent/or supporting seven Marian mullets argent/or? Not yet, but if the petitioner requests, I'll be happy to. For the sake of time, I'd rather do this for one design, not both. -- JSH, SKA Like a good investment, this is something that'll stay with me for a long time, I'd love to see Sir Siervicül's idea.

Hmm, well this is surely much more complex than I have thought. Perhaps we use the Squirrel King at Arms previous post (with the seven stars in the blue field) but make the center star gold?? I would perfer to have some sort of symbol representing my heritage though. So if we could use the preposition by S:reu Betigneir and *gulp* add some kind of Germanic symbol, I'd certainly be pleased. Here's what S:reu Betigneir posted:

Woo baby. Well I'd certainly like to help get my arms to legal acceptability. What do you think of the suggestions to that end made by SKA above? For example, (1) making the field either all vert or all purpure, (2) reversing the tinctures on the bend (I interpreted it as a bendlet, because it looks too narrow for a proper bend), and (3) making the metals either all argent or all or and using either two fleurs-de-lis or two pairs of keys instead of one of each. The design would be made legal by fixing number 2 and either number 1 or number 3. I wouldn't mind having all vert or all purpure, and I'm open to reversing the tinctures of the bend and the stars. I would perfer to keep my keys and fleur-de-lis, but if they have to be one tincture, I'd certainly like all gold (should the field be purpure) or all silver (if the field be vert). Would it be legal to keep an all vert or all purpure field without having to reverse the colors of the bend and stars??

Yeah, as it is the design is a little too complex (I figure 9 - five tinctures, three charges, one subordinary), uses a non-standard tincture (purpure, or purple), and has a tinctures problem in that you don't have good contrast between the sable (black) and the vert (green) and purpure (purple). As the Bartleby Pursuivant points out, the previous blazon has a problem with complexity. It is so complex that I was befuddled. I calculated the complexity, and came up with at a complexity of 10: 1 field division (per bend), 1 ordinary (bend) 5 tinctures (purpure, or, vert, argent and sable) and 3 charges (fleur-de-lis, mullets and keys) === 10 Please check me to see if I'm over-calculating. -- JSH, SKA Woo baby. Well I'd certainly like to help get my arms to legal acceptability.

Thank you, my friends. Hopefully this will stimulate others to delve into the rules and concepts of Heraldry! Heraldry is truly a fascinating thing...to bad it has to be so confusing.

S:reu Betigneir: Here's the doodle I made and sent SoS Preston. I can't get the white box to disappear in my paint program.

I really hate being so indecisive and adding this to my request as you guys work on it, but I'd like to add one more thing. In honor of my grandfather who passed away in June, I'd like 7 silver Marian Stars ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marian_Star) to symbolize the 70 years he was alive, his deep dedication to the Virgin Mary, and my Roman Catholic faith. Is there a way you could do this? I'd be deeply honored if you could. If I've thoroughly confused you guys, I have a template of what I'm somewhat thinking of saved on my computer and I could easily email it to you. þaraþias! ~Matáiwos Vürinalt~

As a sign of St. Peter, the two keys in saltire or (two crossed keys) is a symbol reserved for the Pope. Should we start calling you Benedict? Crossed keys have already granted by this College in the arms of S:reu del Cjar. In his arms, they come from his birth municipality of Boxtel in the Netherlands, which is one of that country's most Catholic municipalities. Trier used crossed keys on its seal because its patron saint is St. Peter. Bartleby Pursuivant Okay, so does this mean that I can use the crossed keys? If I can, after reading up on some heraldry stuff I'd like one silver and one gold on my coat of arms.

Ah okay, well, stratch that then, perhaps we can just stick a symbol of France on there or something. Something like this? (Click link for large graphic) personal.otz.net/zathras9/heraldry/hr18.gifOf course, it should be more Quebecios, I don't know of any symbols other than the fleur-de-lis and I think that's off limits. The fleur-de-lis is not a reserved charge, but certain uses are. For example, multiple gold fleurs-de-lis on a blue or white background are used by the Bourbons. A white fleur-de-lis on a purple background is reserved to the World Organization of the Scout Movement. One must be careful. As a sign of St. Peter, the two keys in saltire or (two crossed keys) is a symbol reserved for the Pope. Should we start calling you Benedict? Your design also has some problems with balance and complexity, but the Odd Fellow will be happy to help you work through these. -- Jaune Sabre Herald, Squirrel King at Arms Haha no, let's do the gold fleur-de-lis on the purple. So what about ditching the key and going for an eagle, similar to Sir Samuhel Tecladeir's arms? Of course, I'd perfer it to not be red, but perhaps black with a blue eye? www.kingdomoftalossa.net/heraldry/sam.gif
