The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

What would your seal / coat of arms look like?

One question to everyone, if you were to design your own seal (not the animal but the wax stamp that can be put on letters or envelopes to guarantee its authenticity (or just to look cool ;))) or a coat of arms, what would it look like?
What motives would you use?
Two images of my own seal (a treestar with a droplet of water reflecting a helmet) are in my signature, but what would your seals or coats of arms depict?

Hmm…At the moment, the closest thing I have to a seal is my Lystrosaurus head avatar, which I include as a sketch with my written signature, but that's just for GOF-related purposes. A seal/coat of arms that really represents me…I'll think about it. ;)



Pronounced "pan-JEE-uh". Spelled with three A's. Represented by a Lystrosaurus.

Probably a double-helix crossed with a stylized rifle with bayonet attached. It reflects my love of both biology and weaponry...

On a side note, that is the "unit patch" of the Pelvanida guards from the Darwin's Soldiers universe.

Not really a coat of arms or a seal, as such, but I do have a Monogram:

Don't ask me what it means, because I haven't got a clue. I just sort of drew it one day, and it stuck with me. I'll probably work it into a coat of arms someday.

I do have a seal and a coat of arms. Several of them, actually. But I will not reveal what they look like, they were created for artistic purposes, not to be revealed to anybody. :)
