Your National Coat of Arms or Seal

[Avaerilon]

Does your nation use either an official coat of arms, or seal, or both? Why not tell us about it all? You get a cookie (::) if you post an accompanying image  (rofl)

This is the coat of arms used by the Avaerilonian government. It often appears on letters, communiques, and official documentation. The same arms, with the exception of the supporters removed and a different motto, are used by HMRM King Aubrey the Dragonheart.

Coat of Arms of Avaerilon


The shield contained within is the shield of the king, which is largely identical to the Williams shield used for hundreds of years, save for the green dragon (Y Dragyl Verth) in the centre, which is the most popular and important symbol of Avaerilon. Most previous kings and queens of the Williams line used a lion rampant instead. Supporters are found in the griffin and unicorn; the former representing the daring dreams of the strong and proud people of Avaerilon, and the latter the gracious beauty of nature which is sovereign over the inhabitants of the land, including the king. Both animals are native to Avaerilon's lush countryside. The fleur de lis at the top has 5 roses upon it; these are the purple Avaerilonian roses. One represents each season, with a fifth for the year, as these roses grow throughout the year, symbolising the resilience of the nation and its vitality.

And here is the one used exclusively by HMRM the King and His court.

Is there a tool you used? Or is it a drawing task?

[Avaerilon]

Both :D Paint.net is freeware I use for this sort of thing, in-conjunction with hand-drawn pictures on good-ol' MS Paint. I highly recommend Paint.net to anyone interested in doing these sorts of things. For instance, I drew the shield, and edited numerous parts of the crest by hand, but I took parts of other existing crests and added them with Paint.net. I also changed the colours on the griffin with the programme.

Already use PDN, and Serif Drawplus for tablet input, I am just not so skilled as you by the looks of it.

We do have a coat of arms and a seal, although the coat of arms is not used, the Imperial Seal is used for all official and diplomatic missions

The Kandorese parliament uses a variation of the Kandorese flag as their "Seal"

Finally a seal that i'm moderately satisfied with.

I've since updated my nation coat of arms to this:

I've also done one for the Williams family- which is based on my own, RL family crest (I believe):

Made a new seal, a bit simplistic and may or may not be inspired by a tyrannical pan-galactic power that kills billions of people.

Kolumbiyskiy uses a national seal placed on all official documents issued by the government. Officially called "The Great Seal of Kolumbiyskiy," it uses a red star and the color red to represent the socialist part of our democratic socialist government and features our national animal, the swallow, delivering our national motto, "Sine Pace, Habemus Nihil" or "Without Peace, We Have Nothing".

This is the seal of the Governor of Courelli. I haven't made a national seal, but it would probably be similar. :P
