"These designs, by the way, are absolutely beautiful heraldry, and are
the only correct ones in canon. Those modern "logo-style" nightmares
they've come up with, with the outlines of the animal over
multicolored fields, etc., are movie-products, designed for modern
eyes, and ugly as sin. Not to mention their contrast is lousy, and
heraldry was for Identification At A Distance."
--Well it's good to know that they've gotten something right. I don't
know but I always thought that the horrid "logo-style" things were
Quidditch Team logo's not house symbols. If that's true then you can
calm down.
"Any questions? Comments? General pleas to shut up?"
--On the contrary. This was interesting, and besides this list is
only fun because everyone brings their own interests to it.
"Scones and clotted cream all round; my place at 4, okay?"
--NOT FAIR!!! I wish I could come over for tea(?). I do make scones
on occasion, but I can't get clotted cream and I would so love the
authentic stuff.
Amanda (can you tell I'm a herald in a medieval group?)
--Yes.
