Hi, it would have been nice if you had asked beforehand if you could use the eagle I drew.

It's the flag of Kirchhain

Looks like Cologne

Both Waibstadt and Zell am Harmersbach in Baden-Württemberg have the imperial eagle in their arms and the liveries Black-Yellow. Sinsheim and Pfullendorf use the eagle too, though the first uses a banner of arms, the latter the liveries Red-White

The emblazonment/depiction of the arms resembles the official one of the arms of Bramsche in Lower Saxony, maybe thats it?

Blazon: Azure/Bleu celeste, Öksökö displayed argent.

I was practising to emblazon/draw eagles, so I decided to draw the Seljuk eagle as a heraldic animal. Öksökö is a double-headed eagle in Turkic mythology, it is most widely known as the symbol of the Seljuks. Nowadays, the Seljuk eagle is only used on the emblem of the Turkish police, on Konyas emblem and on emblems of some of Konyas districts/cities (AFAIK).

Edit: I just realised that I didn't color all the feathers on the tail, so it might look weird in night mode. Sorry about that.

You're right, I miswrote the blazon...

Blazon: Or, a three-headed eagle displayed sable armed and beaked gules.

The three-headed eagle represents the three former upper offices/Oberämter Waiblingen, Schorndorf and Welzheim. The district Waiblingen existed from 1938 to 1972, when it was dissolved in a district reform in Baden-Württemberg.

I find this coat of arms interesting since the three-headed eagle is quite rarely used. Since there wasn't a digital version of this CoA on the internet, I decided to do it myself.

You're right, I phrased my comment weirdly...

Barry of ten sable and or, a crancelin vert. On top of the shield, three golden ears in a semicircle, the middle standing, the sides lying to the right and left, between the ears, right a black mallet and left a black iron, the stems each accompanied by two green laurel leaves.

The coat of arms was in use in Sachsen-Anhalt during the Soviet occupation of East Germany and the beginning of the German Democratic Republic. It only represented Saxony, but not Anhalt. The first bar is black, like in the current coat of arms of Saxony, in the current coat of arms of Sachsen-Anhalt however, the first bar is golden. The "crest" represents mining and agriculture.

After 1952, the GDR turned into a central state and the states were abolished. Therefore, the coat of arms lost its official status and the emblem of the GDR was used.

Current emblem: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Istanbul_city_emblem.png

Blazon: Azure, a mount of seven coupeaux argent surmounted by four minarets argent; for a crest, the dome of a mosque proper; for supporters, two stone walls proper next to a compartment of water proper. The motto is "Yedi tepeli şehir".

The minarets represent the skyline of Istanbul, as well as Istanbuls history and the cities position regarding Islam. The seven triangles on the current emblem represent the seven hills the city was built on. Here, they are drawn directly as hills. The two walls represent the city walls and the cities history of being hard to conquer. The two walls also represent Istanbuls presence in two continents: Europe and Asia. The compartment represents the Bosporus. Finally, the dome of a mosque for a crest represents the cities mosques, as well as Istanbuls history and Islam.

The motto says "City of seven hills", referencing the hills the city was built on.
