Hello! I have a request for a modification (more of a re-do) of my
old coat of arms. I've overhauled my nation's canon, so it's now obsolete (mainly due to the logo), so I need a new one.
For the border, I would like it to retain a gold color, but I would like to change it from the current rope design on the interior to a staggered, wreath-like design
vaguely similar to this, but they must stay within the circle or circular form, and have no space in between the independent leaves, separated by a border. The leaves should originate at a rectangular form at the bottom (which is the "SPQR" symbol that can be taken directly from my current CoA). The SPQR upon it should be removed. Where the leaves meet at top, a single leaf should extend from the junction of the staggered leaves and a slight gap should be left.
The eagle must remain gold and have a similar appearance, but the application of the old emblem's gradient is at the designer's discretion. It should still be facing to the left, with wings outstretched, but I would like it to (in the fashion of the Great Seal of the United States) be clutching in the left talon a bundle of three
scrolls, hopefully not uniform in manner (sort of overlapping, akin to the arrows in the Great Seal of the US), though I would like the handles at the end to be stubbier; the parchment should be white or some sort of off-white, the wooden handles and caps a medium, non-rich non-deep brown. In the right talon, I would like it to hold a bundle of arrows akin again to the Great Seal, however I would like the arrowheads to be a light grey, the shaft to be brown in the same color as the wooden part, and the arrow fletching to be white (but darkened as to not to vividly contrast with the red on which it will likely be on top of.) Within the circle, the color scheme of my flag (gold and red) should follow.
Underneath the eagle's talons and the things it is holding, in a traditional scroll (similar again to my current CoA) with pointed ends and a waving manner that is the same white/off-white of the scrolls of the eagle, I would like in full black and bold lettering my motto, "FORTITUDINEM PER CONCORDIA".
Thank you in advance.
