I’d love to see someone creat a search query that scours online blazons from a variety of sources better than just vanilla google, and simultaneously emails the registers that aren’t online…
Wonderful!
Very nice indeed! And I love the simplicity of your arms!
Nice job!!! :cool:
A bit of a postscript.
A heraldry enthusiast friend ran across an interesting 1966 devisal from the COA to a department store in Atlanta, Georgia named Rich’s Inc. A little internet sleuthing yielded this:

I think there’s a good chance that my assumed badge is exactly duplicative, assuming that the two things that look like badges in the bottom part of the devisal actually are.

Not to worry. Rich’s was sucked into the vast Macy’s empire some years ago, so the chances of your followers, wearing your badge, encountering Rich’s followers on the battlefield are slim to none. So zero risk of confusion.
Presumably Macy’s troops would be wearing a mullet gules, which is easily distinguishable from your badge.

Thanks for the encouragement. I’ve got the 3 year old and the 10 month old going at each other with pugil sticks right now, in preparation.
Interesting find. In the 1966 devisal the badge design is on black and gold on the shield, and on green (at least on my tablet) on the mantling, or without a background color standing alone. Your old avatar had a blue background, which under the circumstances (that neither you nor anyone else who participated in your design process was aware of the devisal) should be acceptable difference.
