Flags are a very important part of our society.

Man I might not have that day off, I'll be disappointed if I'm working. :c Oh well. If I don't make it, good luck! I loved the first one. You're a fantastic lecturer, Londo. :D

As an amateur student of English heraldry I'll be interested in seeing your conclusions. Though of course, I understand the elements of design for armourial achievements and flags while similar are different.

In the spirit of completeness I wrote a thing for Nirath's internal newspaper on heraldry, feel free to use it if you find it of any worth

I'd love to discuss heraldry with you, or hear your thoughts during the Q/A. This workshop will focus on basic design elements and symbols and I aim to pass on a few tools and tricks. However it won't go into Medieval Heraldry (I'm not versed enough in that to do it justice).

Heyo!

I really enjoyed the first Mayor Seminar and it gave interesting perspectives to all the mayors of my county. ^^ I'd love to attend this next one--I hope to at least!

It's a bit too early for me to say, but I know it'll be as good as the first and I wish you guys luck with it in case I do miss it!


May Fortuna smile upon us.

Sadly, I missed the seminar. I work Saturdays. Is there somewhere were I could read what was said or even just the highlights?

I am still working on a final edited copy of the seminar, but Gorawyn was kind enough to record and share this one. It missed the first 5 minutes but should work for now. Please pardon a few breaks as we handled technical hiccups. The edited version will clean those up and we expect less trouble during the Flag, Crest, and Seal Workshop

In what way does everyone believe 'tribes' will influence their crests, flags, seals, and heraldry? Does anyone feel concerned about possibly alienating other 'tribes' in their town/city?

Can't wait for the second one. In the first one, you went over recruiting a bit but I would definitely like to hear more about ideas for recruitment outside the CoE community.

Just don't get yourself banned from the Kingdom Come: Deliverance reddit for recruitment posts and you're golden ^^

Also can't wait for the second meeting so I can meet other people who worry about their logo not being pretty enough.
