I was thinking of ideas for it (and was playing around with some prototypes).
Would we want some more weapon types in it (spear,arrow,bolt), or still just the sword? Stylized, or more graphic?
I was thinking of having the sword through a half-broken nord helmet.
edit: Here are some mockups. Of course, it is easy to change colong/position/size of elements as I'm using an SVG file. It really just depends on what kind of keel the house wants to have. I think the dark, rich colors look good for the background. I've provided some ideas. The real decision would be what we want the primary color of the emblem/shields/heraldic armor to be. A dark red might look good and still give the "Scarlet" feel when in the smaller emblem.
If anyone wants the SVG to play with their own variants, let me know, and I can supply it.
Note: no one may use these without my permission
