The Scarlet Knights [SK][NA][Open to Applications]

[Galen_Thalheimer]

To be honest , the coolest banners I've seen usually aren't just about the design , but what it represents.

If we had a normal or cool background and the letters S K , when you do a shield wall , or stick all together, you,d see many SKs which looks cooler than a bunch of swords (imho). The other thing to consider too, if it says SK, random people won't pick it, they'll go for the cool design. If you make a very cool design , red shirts and random other people will pick it cause it look cool when they browse the banners, but they wont pick one that says SK .. no ?

Well, the blades DID represent the SB house. And the design was good. The problem is with the merging, there isn't any unique idea to represent really. Personally, I find the "literal" banners (i.e., putting a big SK in the main element) to be the worst ones design wise. They are .... obvious. I put a sample up with "Scarlet Knights" in a scroll that would show up on bigger shields but not in the emblem, and people seemed to ignore it, so I'm guessing most people don't like it.

I would like non house members not picking it (although, lots of people did pick the SB one, which as it's designer, did give me a little smile).
