Azul, If it so please the Squirrel King of Arms, I request the assistance of the College in designing and obtaining arms for myself and my lawful heirs.
My favourite colours are red and green and I was thinking about something with the Lauburu, an ancient Basque symbol. I know it's pretty vague, so please feel free to ask more if there is more information needed.
Thank you!

I like it! It has the colours of the Basque flag and the Lauburu to make it all complete. I don't see anything that could be improved since it's pretty much what I had in mind.

Well that was easy! I will work on emblazoning it and preparing the arms grant for the Squirrel King of Arms.

...except that a 'Lauburu' is similar to a 'flyfot', and there are instances when it was used as one.

Is there a different Basque symbol you might want to use instead?

... plus the red and green combination reminds one of our own nation, Talossa... so anyone can confuse the escutcheon to be of some official department and not of a particular citizen... I hope M. Preiria Fernaodescu doesn't take me for a spoilt-sport... just trying to be a little responsible. In fact, on a more serious note, since its the Coat of a present 'shadow minister', the confusion can be devastating

Ok, but what does a fylfot have to do with a lauburu? I would love for BenArd to give me actual examples of where it was used as a swastika like symbol.

I'll come up with it... but a quick google search does point in the direction... I seriously believe that a flyfot in whatever form cannot be allowed? Btw, just type "Basque flyfot" or "Basque swastika" and see the images...
