College of Arms

I'm so sorry to have put the College of Arms review on hold, but I honestly think I must do so until the question of acceptable length is addressed. I can tell you candidly that unless I am advised that 100KB+ is a no-no, I intend to promote the article to GA. Meanwhile, have you noticed that Swedish heraldry is up for Featured Article? I wonder if you might like to look in and add your heraldic expertise to the review. More on the College a.s.a.p. Tim riley (talk) 17:11, 10 February 2012 (UTC)

Royal Coat of Arms of the Kingdom of Hawaii.svg

Let me congratulate you on an AMAZING job! It is gorgeous. Thank you for another wonderful rendition :) Fry1989 ^eh? 19:54, 18 February 2012 (UTC)

Thanks! I have a couple of projects to finish off right now, but if you have anything that needs to be done just give me a heads up. Sodacan (talk) 19:56, 18 February 2012 (UTC)

Will do, and thanks again. Fry1989 ^eh? 20:04, 18 February 2012 (UTC)

Hi again. There's just one thing I've noticed about the Seal of Hawaii. I've noticed variations on the web, but most commonly the little shield in the centre of the coat of arms is blue with a white star, instead of green with a gold star. I think that's to represent Hawaii being a US state. If you do decide to change it, can I ask that you remove the black stroke from the star, so it's a borderless white star in the blue shield? Anyhow, thanks :) Fry1989 ^eh? 20:12, 22 February 2012 (UTC)

According to this source: 'Hawaii's great seal and coat of arms' by Meiric K. Dutton (1960), which I used for the images, the star is yellow on a green inescutcheon. But this book was published in 1960 and revised in 66, so it is possible since then that the colours have been changed from green to blue, and yellow to white as some of the other example images suggests.

Another source which supports the green inescutcheon and yellow star: "Arms. An heraldic shield which is quarterly; first and fourth, stripes of the Hawaiian flag; second and third, on a yellow field, a white ball pierced on a black staff; overall, a green escutcheon with a five-pointed yellow star in the center."

Egyptian Kingdom CoA

Any chance you can do File:Coat of arms of the Egyptian Kingdom 2.png? Doesn't look overly complex. Thanks so much! – Connormah (talk) 20:15, 18 February 2012 (UTC)

Also, can you take a look at [2]? I was going to try this, but Illustrator couldn't render your CoA correctly and I didn't want to mess with it too much. Thanks. – Connormah (talk) 20:20, 18 February 2012 (UTC)

The first one is a little too small, I will try and find a bigger rendition to use when I start. The second image is not mine, its another user's but based on a previous one I made. I think the user uses adobe illustrator, which is sometimes inkscape incompatible. Will get back to you soon, Sodacan (talk) 03:00, 19 February 2012 (UTC)

Sounds good. Thanks. – Connormah (talk) 03:54, 19 February 2012 (UTC)

Seems to be a weird rendition, I think this is what we may want here (looks like there's pretty wide usage of this variant across the Wikis, maybe you could do this one?). I'll look around for the other one though. – Connormah (talk) 03:56, 19 February 2012 (UTC)

Yep, this is much better, will do. Sodacan (talk) 05:50, 19 February 2012 (UTC)

Thanks, and as usual, no rush at all. – Connormah (talk) 06:19, 19 February 2012 (UTC)

Also, could you possibly do an SVG of the Canadian province of Ontario's CoA? Not sure about copyright and all, but if it'll be a problem, then it's okay. Thanks again! – Connormah (talk) 05:07, 22 February 2012 (UTC)
