The mullet on the breast is much better.
Okay, the desing is finalized. I’m going with Vert on a bend Or a bend Sable charged with six crosses fleury palewise Argent.
My only concern now is that the bordered bend has some kind of signifigance that I am unaware of.

Nope, no hidden meanings a’tall. Yours is a very nice composition—simple and elegant.

contrary to popular belief, there is no grand set of meanings for every heraldic charge, things on the shield mean what ever you say the mean. Granted, there are a few accepted trends but they, like so many other things relating to heraldry, are mere guidelines. For example, while it is generally accepted that a bull is a symbol of strength and virility it could just as easily mean something completely different, wisdom perhaps. It is completely in the hands of the bearer and the heralds…
So, not to worry, even if someone else’s bend means something, yours doesn’t have to mean the same thing. It is all very nice by the way
Okay, after a week of playing around, suddenly I found inspiration and came up with this.
Thoughts?

I will never criticize anyone who wants to use Cheque 
Thanks, Linus. I rather like the effect too.
i don’t know… i prefer the previous one.
however, if you’re going to go with this one try aligning the bend properly and making the cross larger in proportional size.
maybe then i can appreciate it… but i still lean towards your previous one.
p.s. this is exactly why the "fridge test" is so important! LOL… :D

I would agree with this… I don’t like the offset bend
I strongly dislike the bend-chequey. Former is more elegant—MUCH more elegant.

Loaba (and we prefer real names, please),
I think your membership should now have been processed and you should have access to the members section…can you verify that?
If so, I will move this thread to the appropriate part of the members forum.
Thanks.

I’m guessin an escallop, but I cant enlarge it to really see it.

yes Rand you should be able to add your name to the signature…
