lots of cool random examples of UK civic heraldry. lots of "supporters"
on the antler note, i really like how ours looks now better than any of theres... esp because we dont show the ends that would attach in the head.. i think ours should definitely be attached.. i know they like fall off every year or something maybe not but maybe it can symbolize that we are all attached?!?
ReplyDeletecan we pick who we want to register with or something?
ReplyDeletemaybe lets look into an animal that is known for perseverance or something .. for on top of the helmet, or on the side? i think we all have that quality even if sometimes its negative ahhah in the stubborn way
ReplyDelete1. i dont exactly get what you're saying about the antlers.
ReplyDelete2. yeah. theres a bunch of places, some are really expensive and snobby. Havent figured out the best place yet, just throwing down the links when i find them
3. i think it would be tight to draw up a full version with supporters on the side. that would be a good place to put a stubborn animal... like a wolverine, a badger, a donkey, or a bulldog.
