Tyne and Wear never had a coat of arms, unfortunately.

I think most of these images are of dubious copyright and will have to be deleted, wont they?

[edit] Devon

I am reverting as although Devon county council might be using a logo instead of their coat of arms they have not "abolished" them. They still own the arms whether they use them or not: a lot of councils now reserve their armorial bearings for ceremonial purposes only, and they hardly ever see the light of day. They still exist, nevertheless, and a future administration could give them more prominence if they wish. Lozleader 01:25, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

Incidentally, you can see both the logo and the coat of arms on this page [1] of the council's site Lozleader 01:30, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
according to the minutes of the council's Policy and Resources Overview Committee,[2] the coat of arms is still deemed "appropriate for various civic purposes" Lozleader 02:01, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
OK. Sorry about that :-) -- Sakurambo 桜ん坊 11:40, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
Not sure if the coat of arms/logo thing merits an article of its own, but it might make a section on Devon, seeing as we have ciatations and all. There's a bit about the flag, after all. Lozleader 13:22, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
