I know they don't look great but i'm not very skilled in using inkscape either. Can you suggest something to make it look better?Something about those smoke stacks makes it look somewhat...juvenile.

What does the argent lion on vert mean?Here are some more coat of arms of my americanist universe.
Altough early imperial heraldry borrowed heavily from old world American and European heraldry, it is during the Great American Resurgence that it really came into it's own. With certain motives rising to prominence, (The holy Bald Eagle,The Stars and Stripes,The goddess Columbia). The addition of chains representing certain holy orders was a later one. The most prestigious is the Order of the 13 Stars, wich features prominent in both the lesser and greater coat of arms of the empire.

No, it was deliberate. They're manipulative, and they don't care who knows it.@FriendlyGhost
I find the motto odd. "We see, we hear, you act"- wouldn't "we act" fit better?
In which cast I suggest "respondent", "conspondent", or "comportant" if you want the sense of react.No, it was deliberate. They're manipulative, and they don't care who knows it.
