could you shrink down the star, add a 2nd cross inside the first one and line it with more stars?
Something like this:Thanks for making that! I was thinking, maybe a circle of 13, and a circle of 15 around it would work.
Sorry for the delay - been a bit busy with family events. Here's an idea for the shield. It incorporates the castle, the white fox (a different one from the one you had) and a galley to show the maritime strength you wanted.Thanks for listening! Basically, that shield just gave me the inspiration for the elements to be in it. I certainly wouldn't mind if they were divided.
There is in fact a full history; this is the shield specifically of the royal family, which has ruled the kingdom in one offshoot or another as far back as the records go, so they have a very strong connection to the country and want to emphasize that by directly associating their lineage with government in this kingdom. The white fox is the symbol of their semi-historical founder, whom they like to depict as a sort of combined Robin Hood/King Arthur figure, though he was really more like Vortigern, minus the mercenary debacle. It's a naval power that stands on its own, much like Great Britain (or England specifically), and the castle refers both to that nature and to the actual palace. (The color is symbolic, too, representing perseverance in their culture, it's not made of red stone; this isn't Westeros.) Oh, and if there's room, the family motto is "Videmus, Audimus, Agunt"--if not I'll just put it separately. Thanks very much!
That's actually fantastic, thank you! I figure that, since it's quite an old design at base, they'd probably be more likely to have the three elements arranged like that than quartered. (And thanks for the blazon, that's always just a bit too complex for me, right or wrong!)Sorry for the delay - been a bit busy with family events. Here's an idea for the shield.

The blazon would be something like this:
Per fess undy or, dexter a castle gules, sinister a fox sustaining argent, and azure, a three-masted galley argent her sails furled proper, on each mast a shield displaying a fox mask sable.
[to any heralds reading, my sincere apologies for the mistakes I'm sure are there! (also for putting a fox argent on a field or - I know this breaks the rule of tincture but felt it was justified here!)]
Fairly obviously, this is just the shield, not the entire achievement (what's often called the 'coat of arms' - the shield, supporters, helm, crest, motto, etc). If you like this, I'll have a go at the whole thing. I'm thinking either two foxes rampant as supporters; a crowned helmet; a fox as the crest (also crowned - possibly holding a trident for more maritime symbolism); some mantling; and the motto you gave above. If you have anything in particular you'd like for the mantling or the compartment (the bit the supporters stand on), just let me know.
That's all assuming you like the shield itself, of course. The other possibility I considered was to quarter it the way that arms are quartered in the West of Scotland tradition. Imagine something laid out like this one, but with the quarters containing a fox, castle, ship and trident:

What do you think?
By the way, I'm off on holiday this coming week so won't have much (if any) internet access - please don't be offended if I don't reply for a week or so!
This is another old map that I have been given permission to use. This request is pretty simple: turn all colored landmasses gray to convert it into a blank map.
Can I get 2 flags, one for a Communist Appalachia (Tennessee, Kentucky, Vermont) and one for Mexican Texas
could you shrink down the star, add a 2nd cross inside the first one and line it with more stars?
I have three questions:
- how small?
- Like a Christian cross or what?
- And how many more stars?
Like this?Requesting a flag for a legitimist Kingdom of France. A dark blue square on the left half, with three fleur-de-lis symbols, and a square divided between white and red stripes on the right half.
(Basically, the tricolour, except the blue stripe is larger and has a symbol)
Can you make the blue field in the left a bit wider and darker-hued?Like this?

Sure thing, but in a while, I'm going to bed now. (I actually took it off the arms of royalist France, but perhaps I could darken it to make it more azure.)Can you make the blue field in the left a bit wider and darker-hued?
1. the same size as the others
2. like norway, iceland and the Åland Islands
3. just line it with stars. The amount doesn't matter.
Okay, here we go with Republican blue instead of royal.Can you make the blue field in the left a bit wider and darker-hued?
Three-Five sound good to you?
