The images on this page are graphics I have done of heraldic designs
I have found useful as a member of the Barony of Lions Gate in the Principality
of Tir Righ of the Kingdom of An Tir. I am not the person responsible for
designing the heraldic items, with the exception of my own Arms and Badge.
I am responsible for these depictions that are inspired by the the heraldic
designs they represent. The images may be found further down the page.
At the moment there are not many images listed. I will add more as I find
time to complete them. I am making available GIF files of the graphics with
transparent backgrounds. They do represent a time commitment on my part to
create so I would appreciate credit for the images and that you seek my permission
if you would intend to use them other than for personal usage or if you wish
to use them for commercial purpose. The original graphics I am doing as scalable
graphic files. I can make available these files in Paint Brush Pro 7 PSP format
files if requested. Heraldic Display Some important notes on proper Heraldic Display. Arms, Coats of Arms, and Achievements are intended only for display
by the person they are registered to. Even then this display is essentially
to say the bearer "is here". To the "purist" the bearer should not fly their
arms from their home or encampment unless they are currently there. For this
reason the "purist" would not apply their arms to their possessions. Instead
they would make use of their personal badge. They would place their badge
on their processions and would allow their followers and retainers to wear
the badge to indicate their allegiance. Badges may also be used as rallying
flags or to indicate a dwelling is theirs when they are not currently in
residence. The Arms of Branches also should not be used by the members of
those branches except for the leaders of those branches whether Crown, Coronet,
or Baron and Baroness. Branches normally have what are called Populus Badges
which members of those branches may use to indicate membership. There may also be other badges for other purposes. There are different schools of thought on the use of Heraldic Display
on Web Pages: In the more stringent, the only place where the Arms, Device, or
Achievement should be used is on the actual home page or page representing
that person, group, or branch. Otherwise only the badge if available should
be used. A slightly less stringent view is that a link to the official web
page representing the person, group, or branch may be indicated using the
Arms, or Device. Otherwise the badge should be used. This is based on the
concept of using the arms of a city or country to represent or mark it on
a map. The arms would indicate the bearer could be found there. Another view is that if the image represents the person, group,
or branch, then the arms or device can be used. If the image indicates membership
or possession, then the badge should be used. Definitely it is considered wrong to indicate membership in a person,
group, or branch by using the arms or device. Remember that members of a Branch can display the populus badge
of that group to show that they are members of that badge. Such badges would
provide interesting additions to projects, and such and could be proudly
displayed
