I might end up just using photoshop to make my heraldry design!

Ya I used paint for this. But to get the shield shape to be right i got it off a heraldry design site. Its the same as most of the coat of arms the men on this site have.
Yes I quite like it! I really want to use a stag but I want the other stuff too so it wont really work so I may drop the whole stag thing. I'm still debating on whether or not to keep the bordering chevrons or not. My biggest concern is how the surcotte will look. Im thinking of making the green chief on both sides so I can be more easily identified. Except the back won't have the formee crosses. I may add a secondary chevron like thing at the bottom. I will be sure to post another update later this month.

A green chief border at top with the 3 crosses, and a stag over the white background - just drop the chevron and it will be easy to keep the stag without looking too "busy" for early heraldry

I did something with that with earlier pieces of mine. But they had different elements. I'll go back over and play around a but more and post the results.

Yeah, there's no "perfect" heraldry editor out there, unfortunately.
For the Order website, we've standardized around a 170 x 200 resolution. But I generally ask people to submit a much larger image to me and let me resize it.
Don Jorge:
This is the height and spacing I would modify all the other eagles at in my other mock ups so they are evenly spaced from the top and side borders...I think...
I like the key I just wish the program let me change it so it was horizontal instead of vertical...also probably need to adjust it so the shaft of the key is in the middle rather than the picture itself (it is at 50% but the program puts the whole picture in the middle rather than the shaft of the key).
Some cool variations with 3 eagles instead of 2:
Opinions or observations?
Sir Wolf:
i like the first one.
