Wade's Standards First Attempts

Wade's Standard

Design #1

This one might be good for use at Kingdom Level Events such as: InterKingdom Wars, Crown Tourneys, and Coronations.

Uses the gold and white checked background to show allegiance to The Kingdom of An Tir and the populous badges for Tir Righ and Lions Gate showing allegiance to them.
The Sable, Vert, and Azure areas represent the tinctures of the field of Wade's Arms.
The Dolphin and Rose design is a prototype of Wade's proposed badge and subject to change. The badge is used 3 times for artistic purposes. The two Argent Bends use the tincture of Wade's Arm's Charge to separate the Sable Vert, and Azure areas.

comments: The checked yellow and white area is not really properly representative of a person with allegiance to An Tir. Not sure where my notion of that came from.

Also it would be better to only show one allegiance on one standard. Of course being a member of the Barony of Lions Gate means I'm also a member of the Principality of Tir Righ. Just as being a member of Tir Righ shows I'm a member of the Kingdom of An Tir.

Overall comment: The split triangular tail is probably not period even if it looks snazy to me. I think it comes from the appearance of some other things similar to the standard in design. A tapered shape with a rounded end like the letter "D", or a double rounded end like the letter "B", or split with rounded ends but no gap betwen are more typical.

Design #2

This one might be good for use at Kingdom Level Events such as: InterKingdom Wars, Crown Tourneys, and Coronations.

Uses the populous badges for An Tir, Tir Righ, and Lions Gate to indicate allegiance to them. They are in order of Kingdom, Principality, and Barony.
The Sable, Vert, and Azure areas represent the tinctures of the field of Wade's Arms.
The Dolphin and Rose design is a prototype of Wade's proposed badge and subject to change. The badge is used 3 times for artistic purposes. The two Argent Bends use the tincture of Wade's Arm's Charge to separate the Sable Vert, and Azure areas.

comments: As above, it would be better to only show one allegiance on one standard. Better to have three separate standards.

Design #3

This one might be good for use at Kingdom Level Events such as: InterKingdom Wars, Crown Tourneys, and Coronations.

Uses the An Tir Chequey showing allegiance to The Kingdom of An Tir.
The Sable, Vert, and Azure areas represent the tinctures of the field of Wade's Arms.
The Dolphin and Rose design is a prototype of Wade's proposed badge and subject to change. The badge is used 3 times for artistic purposes. The two Argent Bends use the tincture of Wade's Arm's Charge to separate the Sable Vert, and Azure areas.

comments: The checked yellow and white area is not really properly representative of a person with allegiance to An Tir. Not sure where my notion of that came from.

Design #4

This one might be good for use at Kingdom Level Events such as: InterKingdom Wars, Crown Tourneys, and Coronations.

Uses the An Tir Populous Badge to indicate allegiance to The Kingdom of An Tir.
The Sable, Vert, and Azure areas represent the tinctures of the field of Wade's Arms.
The Dolphin and Rose design is a prototype of Wade's proposed badge and subject to change. The badge is used 3 times for artistic purposes. The two Argent Bends use the tincture of Wade's Arm's Charge to separate the Sable Vert, and Azure areas.

comment: This design, #4, and the two following, #5 and #6, are better designs from a heraldic standpoint using the populace badges of in this case An Tir against the pole.
Widening the black area so it isn't just a triangle and altering the blue area and shape would allow for a badge to be put in each of the three compartments instead of there being three in the centre, green one.

Design #5

This one might be good for use at Principaltiy Level Events such as: InterPrincipality Wars, Coronet Tourneys, and Investitures.

Uses the Tir Righ Populous Badge to indicate allegiance to the Principaltiy of Tir Righ.
The Sable, Vert, and Azure areas represent the tinctures of the field of Wade's Arms.
The Dolphin and Rose design is a prototype of Wade's proposed badge and subject to change. The badge is used 3 times for artistic purposes. The two Argent Bends use the tincture of Wade's Arm's Charge to separate the Sable Vert, and Azure areas.

comment: With designs #4, #5, and #6, a fringe could be added alternateing the colours of the livery. Normally it would simply be the colour of the main charge and field. In this case with the field being black, green and blue, with a white charge perhaps three or four colours alternating would work?

Design #6

This one might be good for use at Branch Level Events such as: InterBranch Wars, Baronial Events, and such.

Uses the Lions Gate Populous Badge to indicate allegiance to the Barony of Lions Gate.
The Sable, Vert, and Azure areas represent the tinctures of the field of Wade's Arms.
The Dolphin and Rose design is a prototype of Wade's proposed badge and subject to change. The badge is used 3 times for artistic purposes. The two Argent Bends use the tincture of Wade's Arm's Charge to separate the Sable Vert, and Azure areas.

comment: With all 6 designs here, the white diagonals would be the place for the motto. In this case the motto is: "Sapientia Propter Amorem". Of course how to divide those three fairly even lengthed words into two...

Also argument could be made for a variation with Wade's actual Arms being in the place where the affiliation badges are.
