Hi, I saw your great work. Although its a bit challenging I'd appreciate if you could help us out at the South Asian Royal family wikipedia pages. There are more simple coat of arms like to Orakzai/ Nawabs of Bhopal and others a bit more complex like The Rohilla Dynasty and the State of Oudh.
Hi! Your work es great! I was wondering if you would like to create porcupines as supporters of royal arms of King Louis XII of France.
If you have time and you feel up to, these images can help you as a guide:
I was on the wikipedia page of my city and noticed the coat of arms is really outdated, I was wondering if you could remake it, it really needs it and you are the best in the business. Below is the link to the page
I recently tried to download and deconstruct the existing files of the arms of Kazan and the minor and emperor's arms of the Russian empire, but they proved frustrating to work with, so could you redo them? I have found your vector graphics excellent in quality, but also in ease of deconstruction. 130.85.251.133 (talk) 03:42, 6 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The arms of Dominica presently available on the nation's page on the 'pedia are a small, crappy GIF; do you think, using the existing GIF and image sources from the government of Dominica, that you could SVG-up the arms? 130.85.58.235 (talk) 06:13, 23 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I do genuinely admire your work and its quality! However, I find that some of the supporters in your arms, while similarly well-rendered, are not accessible as solo files. Do you think you could make a heraldic antelope, jaguar (such as in Guyana's arms), and natural leopard (not like a lion), all in the rampant position but not such as might support a shield? I would very much appreciate that. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.129.125.199 (talk) 21:28, 24 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Help needed for vectorizing the the heraldic symbols
Dear Sodacan, I saw that you were interested in Burmese/Thai relations and I was wondering if you wouldn't mind helping to work on some of the Burma/Myanmar Conflict pages (Kachin Conflict or Internal conflict in Burma). These pages have almost no graphics at all and could really use some contributions. There are no images currently on Wiki Commons for these conflicts so it might be tough but it would be greatly appreciated.
Hi Sodacan, great fan of your good work. Please would you be able to do a coat of arms for the High Sheriff of Buckinghamshire (ancient english office) from the following blazon:
Arms:
Gules a chevron cotised between three cinquefoils ermine all within a
bordure engrailed argent
Crest:
In front of a talbot's head couped gules between two trefoils slipped
vert a cinquefoil ermine
The tincturing of the wreath should be argent and gules
Dear Sodacan, I hope you can re-edit the British Hong Kong Emblem from the wikipedia, which is really far from good quality. Here is a picture link for you to edit, this picture is more official.....with more British feeling.....
Been holding this one back for a long time. Could you please (when you have time) make the two seals of the Delaware Secretary of State that you can see in this announcement PDF regarding the Office's new seal?

Hi there, would you be up to making SVGs of Alexander MacDonald of Islay, Earl of Rossseal,so if yes here it is which on the "north west" has the Highland galley or birlinn from the MacDonald arms and on the high left the Ross arms below on the left the seal bares the leslie "belt" which has 3 blue stars on each side of the "belt" see seal image
and finally the south west of the seal bears the Buchan arms .

First off, I must say that your work is absolutely wonderful. I have found that you have created many wonderful heraldic items, and I was wondering if you could create heraldic collars for the orders of Portugal:
I am unaware whether you make only coats of arms and such or whether you also make such accessories. I find that these collars could be useful in creating a well done Portuguese coat of arms as well as for other coat of arms that these collars pertain to.
Would you be willing to make SVG files of the badges of the Canadian Heralds. I have hires scans of the artwork for each, but these are not public domain and so I cannot post them on to Wikipedia or Wikicommons. I could however put them on a private webserver for you to download from purely to act as guidance for creating the SVGs, as long as you promise not to distribute the original scans. The resulting SVGs can then be used for the appropriate articles on Wikipedia. You can email me at graham@flags.net so I can arrange to get the scans to you if you are interested in taking on this project.

Okay I will answer some stuff here, I have thought about all of these before. Some of the arms requested such as those of Sarah Ferguson (use as wife of Prince Andrew from 1986-1996) and Camila Shand (used from 1947-1973) is not particularly notable or useful. Ferguson uses the arms we have now, there is no need to add another, she is not a monarch or a historical enough person to require different versions of her arms, what she uses now is what counts. This is the same for Camilla, women, especially young women don't really bear arms at all, if they do they use those of their father's. Usually in English heraldry a women's armorial bearings only becomes important when she marries and have a husband to impaled the arms with. However these are all valid requests and I am not turning them down, just they are not too high a priority (sorry) :(
The Canadian request is very interesting, and I have thought about this and have been asked before. However the main issue remaining is copyright, I do not want to spend days drawing something that would then be deleted by an admin because it breaks the law, I need to make sure of this. Furthermore the Canadian Wikipedians are particular about these things and I doubt whether they will ever accept what ever I draw, it would be a shame if I produced something and it is flatly rejected. There are many other countries with no coat of arms or emblem at all. Malawi and Vanuatu does not yet have a high quality rendering, so these and other similar countries are my priority right now.

There are apparently two shields for Haakon drawn by Paris. Here they are:
Chronica Majora - folio 216v - gules, three galleys with dragon heads at each end or, one above the other. (this must the one we've got a picture of)
Historia Anglorum - folio 150 - gules, three galleys or, above the first a cross formy argent.
The source for these blazons is a book on GoogleBooks: The Art of Matthew Paris in the Chronica Majora, by Suzanne Lewis, University of California Press, 1987, ISBN9780520049819. The first blazon is found on page 456; the second on page 467. If you could create these that'd be cool. The first one is apparently Haakon's coronation arms.--Brianann MacAmhlaidh (talk) 09:39, 13 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Sodacan, I was reading your comments about how you were focusing on countries that didn't have high res coat of arms and I wanted to tell you that I thought about this issue too. I made a category on Commons for nations whose coa aren't in svg formats. (Here's the page) I think every country on Wikipedia should at least have a svg version of their national coat of arms. I've been wanting to work on some of them but I'm not skilled enough to do the complicated ones. --Turn685 (talk) 02:07, 23 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Not so much a request, more asking for information. Have you ever done a lozenge with a double tressure flory counterflory as in Royal Scottish or Buchanan? If so can you give me a link?
I am hoping to write a page about Peter Whannell alias Buchanan and his descendants. He matriculated arms in Scotland in 1776 under the name of Whannell alias Buchanan. Or a lion rampant Sable armed and langued Gules between three crescents of the same a double tressure flory counterflory of the second.
is it possible please to vectorise the arms of Benjamin Pingo (1749-1794), Rouge Dragon Pursuivant (1780-1786) and York Herald (1786-94). I am an ancestor of one of his brothers and I am planning to use the arms in a Wikipedia article about him.
Sodacan,
Is it possible for you to recreate the coat of arms of Carmarthenshire?
Arms and Crest originally granted 28th August 1935 to the former County Council (abolished 1974).
The arms and crest were transferred by Royal Licence to the unitary Carmarthenshire County Council created in 1996, and the supporters and a heraldic badge granted in 1997.
The gold lions and indented division are derived from the arms of Rhys ap Tewdwr and his grandson the Lord Rhys. The design is completed by red Welsh dragons. The crest is a Welsh dragon supporting a harp, for Carmarthenshire’s musical traditions.
The supporters represent Wales (the dragon) and the sea (the seahorse). They are chained to signify protection and stability.
This is the current one on Wikipedia - File:Carmarthenshire-arms.png as you can see it is quite bad quality and your fantastic art work would greatly improve the wiki for Carmarthenshire.
I am interested in reforming much of the wikipedia content on the Mughals and the Mughal Empire. And after asking around I have seen that your graphics are the best, so I present the following requests.
Hi Sodacan, I'm not sure if you would be able to do this or not but I was wondering if you could possibly make more updated coat of arms for the family of The Tudors [you did the lovely arms for Henry VIII, his children, and all six wives] such as Margaret Tudor; some do not even have any like Mary Tudor, Queen of France as Queen of France and Duchess of Suffolk; Charles Brandon, 1st Duke of Suffolk; Lady Jane Grey; etc. Would be greatly appreciated!

Since you did the great work on the Trinidad and Tobago coat of arms, I figured you would be the best one to request also making the Presidential Crest and Standard.

Hi, recently I came across the Prince of Wales' new website, and found an offcial version of HRH's coat of arms. The version you have created does not take into account the grant of a new supporter which is a white hind.

Dear Sodacan, I hope you can re-edit the British Hong Kong Emblem from the wikipedia, which is really far from good quality. Here is a picture link for you to edit, this picture is more official.....with more British feeling.....
I am a long time follower and admirer of your work. I humbly request that you create a full achievement for Cyril Newall, 1st Baron Newall including crest, supporters , and motto. The current displayed arms lack the aforementioned and display only the escutcheon.
Coat of arms of Sodacan/Requests
Notes
The arms of Cyril Newall Arms consist of:
Crest
Issuant from an astral crown Or an eagle, wings elevated Sable breathing flames proper.
Escutcheon
Per pale Azure and Gules two lions passant guardant in pale or on a chief Ermine a rose of the second barbed and seeded between a lotus flower and a sprig of New Zealand fern all Proper.
Supporters
On either side a pegasus Argent gorged with an astral crown Or.
Motto
Deo Juvante (With God's Help)
I think that making his crest will also be beneficial to future achievements because it requires the making of an astral crown, a product that might come in handy for future creations dealing with the Royal Air Force or aviation in general.
Thank you for your time and thank you for the wonderful work.
Hi there. Longtime fan of yours! I know you do excellent work especially for British and Commonwealth institutions, past and present.
Big fan on your East India Company, College of Arms and the Heraldry Society respective Coat of Arms that you have uploaded to contribute to Wikipedia/Wikicommons.
Wondered if you'd consider contributing to the Royal Society of St George. Our coat of arms on our Wikipedia entry http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Society_of_St_George is so small, but it would be great if you could work your magic and create a CoA for the Royal Society of St George?

i have some suggestions in order to bring the File:Coat of arms of Mauritius.svg closer to the original version (See [14]), however i don't know if it will be too time consuming and become ugly compare to the actual one. Some of the changes include; make the bottom banner similar to this one here, the stem of the sugar cane, the 3 palm trees and the key as seen here. The most important changes needed is perhaps the colour, the Colour Code can be found here. I would suggest to use some effects for the colour, example; for the gold colour, the effect use on the crown here, or another one here so that it isn't yellow or brown as it is the case at [15] and [16].

Sodacan your work is legendary and after a day or two trying to teach myself Adobe Illustrator I have an even greater respect for your craft. You have lots of requests here I can see, but if you get the time, the coats of arms for the states and territories of Australia are badly in need of proper vector graphics. They as yet do not even have crisp non-vector images. Since they largely follow the British heraldry traditions they should be right up your alley.

Greetings!
Would you please add the Coat of Arms of HRH the Princess Amelia of the United Kingdom under the section "Titles, Styles, Honours and Arms" of her Wikipedia page?
Her arms are currently not displayed.
I know you have seen a great many requests for this, but I have to continue in asking. We had an SVG of the current coat of arms here on Wikipedia, but it had limited use because it was non-free. It was just deleted, and now we have a small blurry in it's place. There is an SVG on Commons, but while I'm sure the uploader tried their best it's just not accurate. The only way this will ever be solved is if we have someone with the proper skills create a quality free SVG for use. If there is any way you can take time away from your other things to give us a good image, I would be eternally thankful. The two older versions would be great as well, but I won't push my luck if you don't feel like it. Fry1989eh?18:25, 27 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I'm afraid I'm still where I was years ago. Sorry Fry! :( But the law is too restrictive in this instance. The 1994 version of the arms was 'branded' and only a single definitive depiction is used, plus the law is clear that derivative changes or unauthorised usage is not allowed. I respect that. What should happen now is that the SVG depiction of the 1994 arms should be re-uploaded under fair use and put back to where it was before, which has been the status quo for years now. As for the two older versions I believe an SVG depiction is possible, since its been fifty years since it was first created. However the: 'used at any time by Canada' part of the law is alarming. I wish I could make the image for Wikipedia to use, and in as many articles as it wants too! And I believe I should be allowed to do it too, since I will not be profiting financially or otherwise and will be drawing the image in good faith. But the law is clear and I respect it, so no I do not believe an alternative is possible in this particular case.
I commend the user on Commons who created an alternative image, for trying to fill a gap. But I cannot personally support the use of that image in anyway, I have reverted many of his edits to remove it. A national emblem is a symbol of sovereignty for an entire nation, and of the citizen therein. A faithful and purposeful depiction is what they deserve, not a mutilated and cut-up thingamajig. In fact I am embarrassed by it, If I was gonna make an SVG for Canada it would look damn good. I try very hard (a little too hard and taking way too long) to created a national COA, because I want to create something entirely new as a sign of respect for that country. Maybe I am over thinking it but contributing at WIkipedia or at Commons take up my time, I enjoy it, but now I have a job and no longer at Uni. I don't want to spend a long time and a lot of effort on something and then gets it deleted because I was not thorough when reading copyright law, that just sucks. Sodacan (talk) 07:26, 28 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
There are two versions being used by the Government right now, so there isn't one specific design. I think you could easily do your own thing and it would be free per COM:COA, but if you still don't feel safe I can't pull your arm. Would you at least be willing to do the two historical versions when you have time? I know you have a huge waitlist but.....*rambling nonsense*....anyhow.

I've possibly requested this before, but wondered if you would be willing and able to create an SVG version of the heraldic floral badge of England and Wales? It's not well known, but does appear on birth, marriage and death certificates in England and Wales - for instance here. It aptly consists of a rose, daffodil and crown, and would tie in nicely with the fabulous work you have done so far in this area. --Jza84 | Talk 15:21, 30 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
This one might be a quick one if you have spare time and the interest. Our SVG of the Royal Standard of Norway is a very good design, but it doesn't match the photos/sources perfectly, and because of that I have a Norwegian user trying to edit war and put his own PNG drawings all over projects as he doesn't like the SVG. His drawings are not only in an inferior file format, the design has also been inferior. If there's any way you could update the SVG lion to match the following sources, it would go a great way.
Hello Sodacan, checking some of your contributions I scrutinized the COA of the Austria-Hungary Empire (1867-1915) and found the Bohemia COA (on the wings) very good. It is much better than the one which figures now in the page of "Coat of Arms of the Czech Republic" so maybe - since you have this coa already made - you could adjust it for showing it by itself on the mentioned page.

I need advice concerning the files File:Cap Badge of the Ulster Defence Regiment.jpg and File:The Badge of the Ulster Defence Regiment.jpg. I am being told by the copyright people that I can only have one instance of use of the former and that the second, whilst not looking like the original, is still a breach of copyright. My problem is that the Ulster Defence Regiment was so large, consisting of 16 battalions in total over 22 years, that it has had to be split into a parent article and a List of battalions and locations of the Ulster Defence Regiment with a page for each battalion. The regiment only had one item of insignia which is the one shown as the cap badge and therefore to properly complete the military info box there is no choice of badges, flashes or tactical insignia.

If you've time, could you create an .svg image of the new logo for the Scottish Police Force (Police Scotland).
On the following link the new logo appears, comprising a thistle, surmounted by the Crown of Scotland, overall a gold scroll bearing the motto "SEMPER VIGILO"... beneath which appear the words "POLICE SCOTLAND Keeping people safe"
I also think that Karl VI.'s flag (albeit with the correct eagle in the centre) would be a nice addition to the files here. You can visit the Italian website Flags Online (written as one word) to see an example, or search via Google Picture Search for "Flag Charles VI 1737", choosing the picture entitled sacroromanoimpero.jpg.

One of these coats of arms I have attempted to recreate for the purposes of the page, however I am unable to make it look quite as professional as yours. I will attach the link to the coat of arms below. The base upon which the supporters are standing and the crown can be changed for artistic purposes. According to the book that contains this coat of arms, the base of the arms changed from family to family. I hope that you can make it resemble the style of the British Coats of Arms you have drawn. I know that you will do a fantastic job, and I admire and recognize your talent.
Thank you.
If you could please send the completed illustration to jakub.hibner@gmail.com
After I have finished creating the Wikipedia page, I will most gladly send you the link to the page.*

Can you edit the tiger head in the badge of Thai Scouting in File:Colours_of_Thai_Provincial_Scout.svg. I have created this file since two years ago but I am not success in tracing the seal more accurately to the version that use by National Scouting of Thailand.
Unfortunately, there is currently no representation on Wikimedia of the arms of Scotland's capital city, Edinburgh. If you have the time, would you be able to create one? Thanks.
The official blazon is:
Argent, a castle triple-towered and embattled sable, masoned of the first and topped with three fans gules, windows and portcullis shut of the last, situate on a rock proper. On the wreath is set for crest, an anchor wreathed about with a cable all proper. Motto: "Nisi Dominus frustra." Supported on the dexter by a woman, richly attired, with her hair hanging down over her shoulders; and on the sinister by a doe proper.

Hello,
I have two requests to ask you. They both concern the South Bohemian heraldry. There's not been made yet the coat of arms of the Duchy of Krumlov and the grand blason of the House of Schwarzenberg. The arms of the Duchy of Krumlov (cz) are very rare to encounter, nontheless I found a picture here at page 17/123. The description states : five Rosenberg five pelted red roses on a silver field (2,1,2) and in the crest over a helmet with a red and silver manting a silver eagle with the field sign (again five Rosenberg roses). The other request concerns the House of Schwarzenberg. There are many variations of their family crest, but there's not yet a grand versions that you may see here and here or here
Hello. You've made a very useful and attractive series of badges of the Kings of England; however, you've left out the golden escarbuncle used by King Henry II. I'm currently in the midst of expanding the "royal badges of England" article to include the badges of the early Plantagenet monarchs, so it'd be helpful if a depiction of this badge was available.

Carolus Linnaeus was one of the greatest scientists and Swedish figures in history, yet right now his coat of arms is merely a poorly-drawn low-resolution figure from some book (see thumb).

Sodacan, you do really spectacular work with your illustrations of Coats of Arms - thank you. I have recently discovered just how good your stuff is now that I have added a black and white scan of the arms of Sir Arthur Vicars to his page - it looks dull and utterly uninteresting compared to your work! If you had the time and the inclination, would you be prepared to build on your existing work on Ulster's arms by impaling the Vicars arms alongside? I have never used Inkscape in my life, so apologies if the impaling represents a huge job itself! I have also found another, simpler version of his arms from the title page of his book which I have uploaded to Commons - it shows more clearly a different style for the batons behind the escutcheon which appear to be slenderer than the modern taste and may have Tudor crowns at their heads.
Greetings! I love the heraldry work that you've done on Wikipedia and I'm wondering if you could expand it a bit. In particular, I noted these two coats of arms:
British Arms with Bath
British Arms with Golden Fleece
It is nice to see HM arms adorned with something besides the Order of the Garter. Would you be able to do something similar for the Venerable Order of St John? It would involve adding a chief of the Order's arms to the shield and placing the shield on the badge of the Order (a white Maltese cross). Let me know what you think! I may have some other Order of St John heraldry requests for you, too.--dave--19:57, 8 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I was looking for a piece of the artwork you created here, I was looking if you had the top crown and tapestry section, unfortunately the eagles heads block part of the tapestry. I want to use it in a project to recreate the Standard Flag of the Emperor but unfortunately the current version that is up, the quality is rather poor. I wanted to use your crown and tapestry to surround your coat of arms on the rather poor flag version. You will receive full credit. Unless you think it will look better if you made it yourself, either way works for me. Email me at rymich14@gmail.com to discuss this further. Thanks

Hello!

Likewise the Fife princesses, who received their titles from their grandfather Edward VII. I notice you've done Victoria Eugenie of Battenberg (Queen of Spain) but I would love also to see the British arms of the children of Princess Helena of the United Kingdom and of the other children of Princess Beatrice of the United Kingdom, as well as the Fife princesses if you find the time to do them at some point.

Hello! Because of the different types of uniform that the Canadian armed forces use, the rank insignias differs accordingly. In the example photo above the Chief Petty Officer 1st class is wearing a 'battle dress', the ranks are in the form of slides on the shoulder (like these). While on a formal 'dress uniform' the insignia is on the sleeves instead (for example on this Chief Petty Officer 1st class. I have based all of my Canadian rank images on the Canadian Forces Website: Navy, Army and Air Force. It's safe to assume that they base their images on the dress uniform rank type. The Canadian rank insignias has been going through a lot of changes lately, it is difficult to keep track. I have no problem uploading the shoulder slides if you would like them.

I've noticed you've done most of the coat of arms in regards to those of the nations this house ruled, but the page for the House still features an old low quality image. Therefore, I was wondering if you could redo it and make a better quality vector image of it to replace the one currently featured.
Hello,@Sodacan:! First of all I have to tell you your pictures are wonderful!
I have recently vectorised a raster file depicting the coat of arms of en:Italian East Africa.
Raster file
Vectorised version
I am completely unsatisfied with the crown however. According to blazoning it should be an "Italian Imperial Crown" even if one was never realised. BTW, I cannot blazon in English, so I will give you a basic description: the crown should have a golden circle with "borders" and 8 rubies and sapphires (5 visible) alternated with 8 en:Savoy knots. It should have 8 "golden bands" closed on top with a curl by a globe surmounted by a cross similar to that of the crown of Savoy. These "bands" should have 8 pearls each (growing bigger from top to bottom) and they should be held by golden eagles and "Savoy shields supported by two golden fascis each" alternated. Between each eagle and "Savoy shield" there should be 3 pearls with that in the middle being bigger than the other two.
Sorry about the terrible description but it is the best I could do, after all you can also look at the raster file.
Moreover the list holding the motto "Fert Fert Fert" should be adjusted too.

I would like to ask, whether you might be interested to create a new set of coats of arms for the article about the House of Schwarzenberg.
The currently used coats of arms contain a lot of mistakes or are of very low quality. Your wonderful style and attention to detail would be a great contribution, especially as the Schwarzenberg coat of arms is considered to be very challenging. I will include a small gallery of examples and suggestions below.
Priority: Grand CoA of the House of Schwarzenberg (Orlik branch)
Alternative depiction of Grand CoA of the House of Schwarzenberg (Orlik branch)
Small CoA of the House of Schwarzenberg (Orlik branch). Added to the family CoA for the victory of FM Karl I. Schwarzenberg in the Battle of the Nations at Leipzig against Napoleon.
Middle CoA of the House of Schwarzenberg (Frauenberg branch). The Order of the Golden Fleece is not a issued to every member.
CoA of Cardinal Friedrich zu Schwarzenberg. The ecclesiastical red hat and insignias of being Cardinal, Archbishop and Metropolit are missing.
CoA of Joseph I. Adam Schwarzenberg (before the supporters were changed to lions)
CoA of the House of Schwarzenberg. The head of turk and a raven picking his eye out. Added to the family CoA after the victory of Adolph Schwarzenberg at the Battle of Raab / Gyor.
Badge of the Schwarzenberg family with the Turk and raven
CoA of Ferdinand Schwarzenberg with Turks as supporters. Request: Best without the Golden Fleece for display of evolution.
CoA of Johann I. Schwarzenberg after he inherited the Franconian-Hohenlandsberg line. Request: Best without the Golden Fleece for display of evolution.
CoA of the Counts and later Princes of Schwarzenberg (Stephansberger line). The standards on top are faulty, as they should be black and yellow (golden).
Counts of Schwarzenberg (Franconian-Hohenlandsberg line). The name is wrongly spelled on the picture.
Badge of the Schwarzenberg family with the Schwarzenberg / Scheinfeld castle tower.
CoA of the House of Schwarzenberg with a lion carrying the family standard and shield.
Hi Sodacan, I'm going to echo with Antemister, but the rounded dragon is not a emblem (as far as I know). This is a common pattern of Chinese dragon called 盘龙.
This however is a shared element on Qing Dynasty Naval flags (usually on rank flags). Here's a image with better quality(source). I'm working on the historical naval flags of Qing Dynasty and having been trying by myself. Since you have done an excellent job on the yellow dragon flag, I'll appreciate a lot if you can take a look on this and thus these images would be consistent as well. --Ericmetro (talk) 06:58, 14 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Hello! I always liked the astonishing vectored coats of arms of arms you create, and I was wondering if it would be possible for you to create the Coat of arms of the House of Glücksburg in a vectorised version. It still remains unvectorised and it really needs your talent!
You have created a most compelling image. Do you have a 2-dimensional (i.e., pictorial) primary source? I am aware only of 3-D primary sources, in St George's Chapel, Windsor, Berkshire, and Malvern Priory, Worcestershire.
Incidentally the use of this family badge (attributed to his grandfather, Richard of Conisborough) does not appear to have been used by Richard III after 1471, and I suspect was superseded by the boar some years earlier.
Hi Sodacan! Could you please create one of your fine vector graphics for the following seals of the Palaiologoi? They are among the few authentic images of Byzantine double-headed eagles (albeit Andreas' is Westernized). Thanks in advance! Constantine ✍ 09:02, 24 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The whole seal would be ideal (the book scans being somewhat difficult to read).

I am writing to know if you can design of the coat of arms of Albert en Queensland, Australia. You sent the link to the image, Coat of arms of Albert, it lacks blazoning but if it has a description which is this:
The shield displays a background of gold and green, depicting the close proximity of the Gold Coast with its beaches, and the Shire, with its lush forests and farmlands. The caducaeus, rod of Mercury, God of commerce, and the hammer for industry in general, lie between two heads alluding to the beef and dairy industries. The four bands in the chief symbolize the Shire's Strategic Plan, which when combined with the mural crown of civic authority, speak of the Council's commitment to the future welfare of the Shire.
The colours, black and gold, come from the Saxony arms of Prince Albert, after whom the Shire was named, and refer to industry (black) and resultant wealth (gold).
The kangaroo in the crest identifies the Shire as Australian, while the sugar canes allude to another local industry.
The two dogs commemorate the national origins of two men closely connected with the early history of the district. Captain Patrick Logan was from Berwickshire, Scotland, origin of the Border Collie. The German Shepherd honours Johann Heussler, from Hamburg in Germany.

@Sodacan: I'm sorry to bother you again, but you should have separated the older and newer version. Also, in the newer version, all the blue colors look brighter.
@Jeromi Mikhael: I have separated the files by uploading correct version over the old (top retain the name) and upload a separate historical one (with dates). Both can now be seen at Coat of arms of Seychelles. I can see that the colour scheme is different, but it would take a bit more time to make the new colours more harmonious. The blues will be lighter, also the helmet should be bluish with yellow reflection and the motto ribbon will be redder. Sodacan (talk) 13:24, 21 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Hello. I would like to request if you would take another look at the colonial badge of Newfoundland from 1870–1904. You previously updated the crown. However I have a new source that appears to corroborate the rather unusual crown shown on the FOTW website. I was doing some digging and came across this website with many historical drawings, and this drawing appears to suggest that crown was correct.
I won't ask you to also do the 1904–1987 badge, I'm sure that's somewhere down on your long list already and the current drawing suffices for now anyway. But this crown I figured would be a rather quick and easy one. Fry1989eh?17:50, 26 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I was wondering if you could take a look at the greater coat of arms of Copenhagen. Most of it was done in your style and uses some assets from your files. However, not all of it is that way. The compartment (except for the cannon the lions are standing on) does not match the rest of the arms. The armour, helmet, drum, etc. aren't even vector files. they are raster files derived a file called Københavns byvåben 1894.png. Could you complete the arms by replacing the traced elements with your own work? Because most of the work is already done, you can do a smaller amount of work than what is normally needed for a request (and do it quicker too). Any other improvements on it are also welcome.

Hey ! I'm a french guy and I really like what do you do in heraldic.
I enjoy making blazons, and so I'm looking for figures (supporters, badges, etc.). I can not find all the ones you made (including Boar, Hart, Antelope). Is it possible for you to give them to me? Or tell me where I can find them ?
Last year I created this image for the shield of arms of the late Lord Martin of Springburn. Recently Zacwill has objected to it and removed the image from the subject's article. Would you like to have a go at making one? Unfortunately it has not been possible so far to uncover the blazon, so the only source is a set of photographs from inside Speaker's House. [[49]] Robin S. Taylor (talk) 00:14, 23 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The blazon was published in The Double Tressure No. 28 (2005):
"Per chevron Gules and Sable, on a chevron Argent between in chief a martin volant Or between dexter a locomotive wheel partially covered by a cowling and sinister a salmon hauriant with a signet ring in its mouth both Proper and in base a lymphad of the Third flagged Gules sail chequy Azure and Argent, a crescent Sable between an engineer's steel footrule and a chanter both Proper.

I've been trying to find the SVG gouttee-de-sang file that you used to create the field for the Arms of John Brooke-Little and the Arms of David Vines White, but haven't had any luck. could you point me in the right direction?
currently the National Crime Agency wikipedia page doesn't have the seal and the crown badge. I'll attach the seal and the crown badge taken from the internet.

Request for Military Emblem for Belize Special Assignment Group (B SAG)
Hi I'm interested in expanding the military Emblems for the Wiki page "List of military special forces units" and I'd like an image of the Emblem for The Belize Special Assignment Group (BSAG) to be done in a clipart format. You do a great job to create these images. Your help would be greatly appreciated. I have a screen shot of the image that I can send you or you can search for it on Google Images. Thanks
Hi Sodacan
I noticed that the Lusignan family have coat of arms that are not of excellent quality and certainly less beautiful than those you are capable of doing. could you make them more beautiful, as they usually come to you?

First of all, let me say that I think your illustrations of current and former Canadian military rank insignia in a consistent style are fantastic.
My request is for a set of pre-unification RCAF OR rank insignia, ideally in versions with both the Tudor crown and St Edward's crown for WO1, WO2, and FS. I'm working on cleaning up History of the Royal Canadian Air Force#Ranks and uniforms, so your RAF officer ranks are identical to the RCAF ranks (including the uniform colour) but there are some gaps with the NCOs. If you need a reference to work from, I have some scans of the rank illustrations from the 1953 and 1958 editions of the CAP 6 Dress Orders for the Royal Canadian Air Force that I can share.
Would it be possible for me to get a copy of the Wreath with blue or pink ribbons that go around female members of the British Royal Family Married /Combined Coats of arms?
The Flickr user Baz Manning has photographed [a large number of] coats of arms of High Court Judges and other senior figures in law and politics, displayed on the walls and windows of the Great Hall at Lincoln's Inn. A great many of these people have Wikipedia biographies but few of their armorial bearings have not been illustrated. Robin S. Taylor (talk) 17:36, 20 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I would like to use the escutcheon from your Hawaiian Coat of Arms design as part of a ships crest in an illustration of a fictional novel I am writing. Would you permit this limited use and, if so, what attribution should I include?
Two years ago I made this page and including arms for nearly all the people on it. The lone remaining exception is Sir Harry Hylton-Foster, who died in office and so did not ascend to the peerage. Looking at what photographs I could find of the inside of Speaker's House I never saw his arms, which were always either obscured or out of focus. Recently I discovered these old photographs [[58]] [[59]]
which I think might show it. The caption is illegible, but the placement between the arms of Ruffside and Maybray-King means it logically should be Hylton-Foster (though weirdly his and Dunrossil's arms must be the wrong way around). My best guess at the blazon is Azure on a pale Ermine between two seagulls volant fesswise Proper the mace of the House of Commons palewise also Proper. Could you have a go at it? Robin S.

I have been looking at some of your images on Wikipedia. They are amazing. But for the image titled "Arms of Thomson of Fairiehope" the blazon says "Arms: Argent a stag’s head cabossed proper, on a chief wavy gules a crescent between two mullets of the field", but the image shows one star between two crescents. Is that right? 1.136.109.235 (talk) 19:51, 23 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
You are quite right, it should be the other way around (a crescent between two stars). Thank you for alerting me to this mistake. In case you are curious the blazon is from An Ordinary of Arms Contained in the Public Register of all Arms and Bearings in Scotland (1903) on page 226 (Link). I just had to check it again to make sure. I will upload the correct version immediately. Sodacan (talk) 12:21, 24 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello!
I've seen your great work with the Imperial and Royal coat of arms and I was wondering if you would consider a project regarding the Austro-Hungarian Regimental Colours. The images on the [Army] wikipedia page could use a lot of improvement. They represent the [with the double headed eagle] and the reverse with the [Mother of God]. I have found a series of accurate images of the colour on this page that could constitute a base for vectorizing the flags.

Hi- you do great work. Lan Xang was the historical kingdom that came before Laos, currently the three headed elephant symbol is used -but the early kingdom (pre-1560) would have used a Naga, a crested serpent, symbol-shaped like a W- it can be found on all the coins, weights etc- there isn’t much scholarship out there on it- but I did find one article- and it mentions a flag -p79 https://thesiamsociety.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/JSS_097_0e_Gabel_LaoWeightsLuangSymbol.pdf
Black penant- red trim, white Naga- shaped like a W. Also, on the Monarchs of Laos page, there is the three headed elephant symbol (it’s actually the symbol of royal Luang Prabang- not Lan Xang, or Vientiane) if the flag is too difficult, a simple gold Naga would be more appropriate if you could make an image like that. Any help would be a great help to a little studied area- thanks StampyElephant (talk) 01:35, 23 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I have created an armorial of Canada's universities and affiliated institutions. All of the blazons and citations are in place, but the vast majority of the heraldic achievements listed do not have a free-license illustration on the Commons and fair use claims on images from the register website or the universities' own would not be accepted on a page like this. Can you help out? Robin S. Taylor (talk) 18:37, 29 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
hi Sodacan, I wanted to ask you a favor, would you like to take a look at the coats of arms of some Italian noble families that you find in the link below? A thousand thanks
Dear Sodacan. I am trying to prepare the article Donough MacCarty, 1st Earl of Clancarty for an eventual Featured Article review. This article includes an image of the coat of arms (MacCarthy.png) that comes from Wikimedia Commons and was drawn by a Wikimedia user called "Thomas Gun". This same image also appears on other Wikipedia articles that mention the MacCarthy family. It looks to me that the image is not fully compliant with the blazoning (e.g. Burke 1866), which reads "argent, a stag, trippant, gules, attired and unguled, or". I believe that "unguled, or", means that the stag's hooves (French "ongle": nail, hoof) should be golden. Do you agree? Now, on the image the red of the stag's body extends into the hooves and only the antlers are golden. I have tried to fix Thomas Guns's image in Paint, but the result does not look satisfactory. If you agree, could you please produce a correct coat of arms and make it available on Wikimedia Commons? With many thanks and best regards, Johannes Schade (talk) 12:42, 6 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Coat-of-arms request for Wallis Simpson, Duchess of Windsor
I sent an inquiry to the College of Arms in regards to if Wallis Simpson, Duchess of Windsor, was ever granted an official coat-of-arms, to which the College responded "no". Another heraldic artist stated in response to this that Wallis Simpson may bear the arms of her husband - Edward, Duke of Windsor - but on a lozenge, rather than shield. However, according to the set of guidelines that were issued by the College of Arms in the 1990s about how women should bear arms: "Whether or not a woman is entitled to paternal arms, she may bear her husband's arms alone on a shield or banner differenced by a small lozenge of a contrasting tincture in the canton, center chief point, or other suitable position, depending on the design." Additionally: "Whether or not a widow is entitled to paternal arms, she may bear her late husband's arms alone on a lozenge, oval or similar vehicle of display (not being an escutcheon or a colourable imitation thereof), or on a banner differenced by a small lozenge." Assuming this is the case, may I submit a request for a SVG of the proposed differentiated arms?

Hello there,
Is it possible to design the Greek Phoenix, according to the relevant official examples, which was the finalised design used as a CoA on passports, uniforms et cetera as opposed to Diafora's available, rounded design that was (derived from and) used only on coins? An outline-only monochrome version is needed for the creation of passport vector images and a coloured image (just like Diafora's) for the coat of arms and Greece's military insignia in the 1973-1974 period.
It contains (page two) examples for the Great Seal of the State (Μεγάλη του Κράτους Σφραγίς), the Phoenix (Φοίνιξ) emblem and a generic public authorities (Σφραγίς Δημοσίων Αρχών) seal, but no specifications whatsoever on their construction.
Dear @Sodacan , would it be possible for you to make the relevant coat of arms for List of rulers of Wales for the Kings and Princes of Wales section please? If possible, in a slightly more traditional style as seen on wappenwiki.org ? I used arms from this site without realising that they did not qualify for Wikipedia use.
In addition, would it be possible for you to also upload arms for the kingdoms in Heraldry of Wales, again in a similar traditional style as seen on wappenwiki.org?
Some of the designs that were previously in use (not any made by yourself) were quite poor and in need of an update.

Hi Sodacan, how are you? I wish you well. I'll come back to make you an old proposal, that of modernizing some of the Savoy coats of arms. I saw that you made some other coat of arms, as usual very well, and I wanted to reproduce some others below. I hope with this request not to disturb you excessively. Thanks in advance and let me know!
@Giorgio Pallavicini: All of them? I might need some time to research, as I am unfamiliar with arms of the House of Savoy. If you have any good sources and links please post them below, it would help me alot. --Sodacan (talk) 00:48, 15 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, thanks for your answer. I insert below the official link of the subalpine coat of arms in which I think all the coats of arms that I have uploaded above are reproduced. for any other doubts, do not hesitate to ask
Hi how are you? I don't know if you have seen it but I have uploaded you a link where many badges are represented. Among other things, some of them have already been done by @Euryrel, could you look at the others? thanks Giorgio Pallavicini (talk) 16:52, 18 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Sodacan, to help u I have found also this link I think it could be useful. Let me know if u need more sources
Hi how are you? I have not received any more answers, I guess you are very busy, indeed sorry if I disturb you, I do it only because I believe that new versions of the files I have uploaded to you I think can be very useful to all Wikipedia users. thank you for your effort and let me know then! Giorgio Pallavicini (talk) 12:44, 19 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Yes it will take time, but I saw that you asked others, in case they want to do it, so I waited. So I haven't done anything yet. But I don't have much knowledge about these arms, so any help would be great. For example the time period, the arms of the House of Savoy's entire history? or only as ruling dynasty of united Italy? Also there are many versions available on commons already, I usually make arms that Wikicommons does not already have. Sodacan (talk) 15:10, 19 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
you are very kind, thank you. I have also asked others who, however, do not seem very willing to fulfill my request, so if I could produce them you would be a gift. as for what to do I would start from those of the Kingdom of Italy (coats of arms, banners and flags that are all connected a lot), then proceeding back to those of the Kingdom of Sardinia and the Duchy of Savoy. however, in the links that I have uploaded you should find a bit of push, also I am sure that the sites you frequent are full of arms of the Savoy. tell me if I can do anything else then! Giorgio Pallavicini (talk) 15:16, 19 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
This might be very complicated, but it would be nice if you could take on this project. The layout for the arms is here, but the full blazon is on the messy SVG here.
I am currently editing a digital edition of Fox-Davies' Public Arms for the Heraldry Society (www.theheraldrysociety.com), with coloured illustrations. I note that his "Siam" is clearly based on Ströhl, whom you cite as the basis for your own artwork. I will be adding a footnote to this effect, but I should like to be precise. Clearly this is not from Deutsche Wappenrolle. I should be grateful if you would communicate with me at archive@theheraldrysociety.com so that I can give due credit to him and to you.

Hi there. Would you be able to make an svg version if the city of Wellington's coat of arms? The present gif version is not the clearest:
There are other NZ city CoAs that still need svg versions as well if you're looking for anything else to work on, but I think Wellington is the main one.
Hey Sodacan. As I have done some heraldry related editing, I have noticed some of your great work around!
I wondered if you might be able to help out with creating images for some armorial bearings for a couple New Zealand cities that are currently missing them? Just the shields would be good if the full achievements are too much of a pain.
@Sodacan: Hello. Hope you are doing well. Considering the terrific job that you have done with Charles III's cypher and various other coats of arms and monograms, I thought you would be the best person to also create Camilla's cypher as queen consort for use on the Commons. I just felt the need to bring it to your attention in case you might have missed it, as both a coloured and a black and white version were unveiled yesterday. I'll be glad if you could take a look at it. Again, thank you so much for all the efforts. Cheers! Keivan.fTalk17:01, 8 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I am a great admirer of your heraldic style. Do you perhaps have a deer courant in your archive (see this example) or could you just make one please? Unfortunately I can't do that myself. I try to copy the blazon from the example in your style for the Dutch page. A deer courant would actually be of added value, because it also occurs in many other arms. There is absolutely no rush, but you would help me a lot with it!
Dear @Sodacan - After an exhaustive online search, I find that the most recent version of the Royal Arms of Rwanda, under the late King Kigeli V, appear to have been rendered by you (or at least someone with access to a compilation of the appropriate SVG files to do so themselves). Said most recent version appears here, for example - https://www.hubert-herald.nl/Rwanda_bestanden/image015.jpg - along with various "permutations" of same. However, the current King has modified these arms only slightly, changing the bleu celeste shield to a sort of ruddy brown "proper" color. Unfortunately, all online images are either JPG or PNG, and those are not of the highest quality.
Is there any chance you are in possession of the original SVG for the image I have linked? I can take it from there.

@Sodacan: Hello again. I was wondering if you'd be willing to create your own version of the "Royal Cypher of Queen Victoria" for WC, based on the already existing file provided above? Obviously, there's nothing wrong with the current version, but I do think it would be fitting to have one that matches the style of the other SVG cyphers you've already created for the British monarchs who came after Victoria.

First of all, I would like to say that I have been following your work for a long time. I have always admired your style, the ability to create and so jewelry design of various coats of arms...
That is the reason why I have approached you today.
Delving into the history of the Spanish colonial empire, I found this curious page on Wikipedia: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louisiana_(New_Spain)https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louisiana_(New_Spain)
Like a demanding and fickle lady, Louisiana passed from the hands of the romantic French to the warlike Spanish.
What was my disappointment when, instead of a wonderful coat of arms worthy of a colonial empire, the page featured an Internet-adapted sketch from an old Spanish notebook...
I'm not gonna lie.
Initially, I approached you for purely personal purposes (At my leisure I improve and create my own flags based on pre-existing/nowadays states).
But now, I realize that a lot of people might also want to use this coat of arms for their works.
Or at least, they want to read about Spanish Louisiana so its coat of arms wouldn't cut their eyes.
I'm sorry I've written so much text, but I'd really appreciate it if you read this far and help young vexillologists to do their work with more enthusiasm).
Thanks in advance! EnderBAV13 (talk) 02:29, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

. Czechoslovak community would be very honored if it would be improved closest to the constitutional version. I founded best picture here: https://spravnydizajn.files.wordpress.com/2012/09/znak-csr-19200001.jpg . It is also element of middle lion in Large Coat of arms of Czechoslovakia: http://www.3athlon.com/republique_tchecoslovaque/znak_prvni_ceskoslovenske_republiky.jpg (The two edge lions are slightly different correctly done here: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Greater_coat_of_arms_of_Czechoslovakia_(1918-1938_and_1945-1961).svg ). and also same motive is on the Middle Coat of arms best picture here: http://www.nacr.cz/sua/vystavy/symboly/gifs/10stred.jpg. Thank you very much! The main task is just Lesser Coat of arms because that is only for experienced graphics as you, improvement of many images containing motive of this lion can be done by many other user on internet just as me.

There are at least four heraldic coronet designs specifically created for types of local government in Scotland. It does not appear that we have any examples of them on the Commons and my own skills are not up to it. Robin S. Taylor (talk) 16:37, 15 October 2020 (UTC)

Hi Sodacan
I noticed that the Lusignan family have coat of arms that are not of excellent quality and certainly less beautiful than those you are capable of doing. could you make them more beautiful, as they usually come to you?
