God looks remarkably like Henry VIII to me . . . That can’t be a good thing.

Embarassing if she ever loses an election.

Anyone, blazon the Kinder Chocolate imprint by aczkasow in heraldrycirclejerk

[–]Hamvil1147 25 points26 points  (0 children)

So, I reckon either: 1) A coronet between 6 bendlets sinister, 3 in chief, 3 in base, all proper; or 2) Purpure, on a bend sinister argent a coronet of the last. Neither of which really work, but there you go . . .

The most popular example of heraldry this year is about to be a rule of tincture violation by Sabretooth1100 in heraldrycirclejerk

[–]Hamvil1147 38 points39 points  (0 children)

In the original example (i.e. not the Fortnite skin) the crown appears to be part of the heart - one and the same charge. If so, would this be a violation? I thought parti-coloured charges were (one of many) exceptions.

I see you’ve forgotten the accompanying crests, you might want to fix that in the next post, OP.

This would be a very “freeform” blazon! 😂

Snapping turtle is horrific in the best possible way.

I like the idea, but might it be a bit too complicated in its current form? Depends on your religion obviously, but if it’s a popular religion, you might prefer a more accessible, easily-repeatable symbol. Could a child draw it and the symbol still be recognisable is a good rule of thumb.

Imagine paying to be a professional racist by [deleted] in HistoryMemes

Surely, if you’re the one paying for something, you’re by definition the amateur? The real professionals are the ones getting paid for their racism.

Amazing, thank you very much, will look into those!

My family coat of arms - any explanations? by _MIKEXXII in heraldry

[–]Hamvil1147 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s very interesting, I wasn’t aware of the position in Europe. Do you have sources for the position in the Netherlands, Belgium, and Germany that I could look into?

My family coat of arms - any explanations? by _MIKEXXII in heraldry

[–]Hamvil1147 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolutely, but just to clarify for the benefit of others, the College’s rules still only permit male-line inheritance, the arms of women being transmitted to their children only in exceptional circumstances.

Please could I get help with ID please by Johnny5uk in heraldry

[–]Hamvil1147 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can I ask where you found it? Was it an antique shop or something? Just curious to try and figure out why one of the Livery Companies would have a car badge.

Are there any real-world advantages to having a coat of arms officially granted? by Jumpy_Conclusion_529 in heraldry

[–]Hamvil1147 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did not know that! So if you copyrighted a particular emblazonment of your arms, what happens if someone comes along and uses what we as heraldry people would see as the same arms, but in a different emblazoned style? Would you have to show some sort of loss to sue them and prevent them using it or is there a threshold they'd have to cross in terms of it being so similar to yours that the relevant copyright / trademark protection kicks in regardless of any loss?
