You posted these same images elsewhere on the forum.

You forgot to include a none of the above category.

Trent, I still like the old original one best. The one that you worried had a ‘too Jamaican’ look. I thought that design was brilliant and all the ones since then have lacked a bit. But that’s my opinion and precisely why it’s dangerous to put a committee in charge of deciding your taste. So, my vote? the Jamaican arms!! :D

I am curious to see the arms that Patrick liked. Could you repost them?

Patrick,

I think you confused those with Iboa’s—he had the black, green, white, and yellow Jamaican theme.

 

I still like my first idea too, but the color scheme started to appear aggressive over time, but I plan on using it as a corporate logo.

Oh ... too many frets, LOL

Why don’t you post that first one of yours too?

I’m sorry, I can’t see any designs to vote for on this thread. Could we possibly post the images of the choices with the poll?

Thanks,

Norton,

The images are in post #1, and the poll is above that post.  I couldn’t figure out how to get them side by side.  If you know, please tell me how.

 

Patrick,

 

I’ll put the one you’re talking about in my signature between 4-5pm EST.  I don’t have access to it now.  By the way, it has a fret too.

Have you thought about the first one with the fret throughout counterchanged instead of sable?

I finally figured it out! I like the fleurs -de- lys in chief best of the ones available, but I love Michael’s idea of the fret throughout counterchanged on the original.

Mike,

I had not thought of that one.  I’m not a fan of counterchanged things in general.  And one of the reasons I moved away from my first avatar was because I grew not to like the fret throughout.

It’s not so easy on my eyes.  What do you think of it?

Michael,

What an excellent design for Trent’s arms. There is something to be said for the innovative simplicity of a Nordic influenced design.

I still like the original. And it was the one I was thinking of, even if I did get the Jamaica reference wrong. Mike’s new design comes a close second in my estimation.

I agree with Patrick. Your original design is my favorite, also. The colors and overall design balance nicely and they just look "right" on the East African shield as well. Mike’s newest design with the fret overall comes in a close second.

Of the designs you posted, I like the second (fleur-de-lis in chief) best. The fret doesn’t look so lonely on that one and I just like f-d-l’s. :D

 

Just my 2ยข.

 

Take care,
