New Heraldry

[Sir Wolf]

i think i like the second. the first looks like it has eyes staring at me

[Sir James A]

Second .. it's much clearer that it's a cross. I know the first one is a besagew, but if you hadn't told me that, I'd be kinda lost.

[Sir Brian]

Doh, somehow I missed this discussion! 

I really like the new heraldry Lord Dane and the significance behind it! Well done!

As for a favorite I think I prefer the second one. Have you considered having it a solid gold cross as opposed to an outline?

Yes I have. It is one of the designs I have saved but in thought, I deemed a golden cross would be in bad taste. Godly behavior is reflective in our thoughts and acts. They reflect who we are and our beliefs. I am not one to bear a cross of gold for myself (even in symbolism). A dark cross is more appropriate of the crosses men bear on their shoulders (even mine). A golden cross does not reflect me but more the ideals God has for us as good men. The idea behind it is the darkness that fills us hopefully does not reach the surface and is guided/controlled by the good nature reflective in God's will that we do right by his example. 

I am not one to reflect anything I am not. I serve, and make choices that must reflect who I am and choices I must live with (good and bad). What makes us mortal and not divine is that we live with dark choices, and also with regret if they are wrong. We live with sin and seek forgiveness for it. We make mistakes and hope for self-improvement. But always we bear a dark stain upon us and hope it helps lead us to righteous behavior so we can be forgiven (and forgive ourselves) for those mistakes we make. Far from perfect, we must better ourselves to be any reflection of what God expects of us. The cross overlays the darkness and reflects the righteousness of choice that becomes what we do in life through our actions for which we are judged by.

I like the counterchanged cross (or whatever the term is, my blazonry is lacking) - but then, I am partial to that schema.

And who might you be good Sir?

[Joshua Santana]

Interesting heraldry,I would stick with the second one to make the heraldic terminology easier.

Welcome to the forum.   I would like to direct you to  "The Great Hall" section of the forum where we can properly welcome you aboard with an appropriate introduction so we can all learn a little about you.

[Sir Wolf]

those are both cool

[Sir Edward]

I like them both. I'm a little surprised about having a sable wyvern over top of the chevron, since it looks like color on color to me. But the SCA has everything pretty well standardized, so there must be a rule for it. In any case, I like it.

[Lord Chagatai]

The Wyvern is the overall charge so it doesn't fall in the color on color rule..chevron is a field division..

OK, that makes sense... though chevrons are technically ordinaries.   Very nice though. I like it.
