I am considering some custom stationary employing one of the charges from my COA. I have seen stationary in the past that is, let us say, a little over the top, and I would like to avoid this. My thought was to have a small watermark in the lower right corner consisting of a hunting horn.
Do any of the members use heraldic stationary? Any thoughts on a good stationary shop? I was looking at Crane, but they do not do the type of custom work I need.
I’ll try some of the following artists (I know they do stationary)

and try http://www.cronistas.net/Engraving.htm for some embossing alternatives
I would think that just your shield (essentially your avatar) would be simple & tasteful, either in simple outline, or in black (or green) - & white.

Couldn’t agree more, I’d use mine in color.

I’ve found these but I cannot do any comment about the quality of their work since I have no references of them.

I made stationary simply using Adobe photoshop…. Personally I prefer the black and white rendition of my arms (grayscale) over outline or color. I use my arms on letterheads.
