I am the master of Marine organisational nitpicks. I managed to piss off GW Edinburgh by doing a critique o their army (If you're going to paint them as Ultramarines, you'd better get it RIGHT). ;D LoL! Well... impressive, albeit in a sad way By sheer conicidence, blue and white (Frost-marines colours) with snowflakes.... Ah! I did not see the forest for the trees Anyway guys, it seems the downside to having a dedicated crew that all have a very good imagination, is that we tend to come up with 100 different ideas and exhaust ourselves with discussion. Perhaps it would be best if someone like Kage and/or Rogue Trader just arbitrarily decided on a good idea for a crest and then saw it done?

I thought that there was a general consensus on the Anargo crest itself, or did I miss something? The point of disagreement at the moment seems to be the Frostbringer/wraith badge.

So, does anyone has any objection that Anargo sector crest is made on similar idea to old Russian one posted above (eagle with lots of sub-sector crests on it)?

What did the general consensus land on then? A russian-style eagle with.... anything else?

Yes, but what other than the eagle will the Anargo sector crest display? Or is it just the eagle and the motto? And what is the general consensus on colours?

I think that the full crest should display the eagle, the motto and the emblems of the different sub-sectors. About the colours I would prefer white, perhaps with light blue or gold (or both), I would prefer if we could get this out of the way quickly...

Just the eagle then? No halberds, halos, space marine helmets, scrolls, crowns, cogs, laurels or anything like that? Fair enough...
White is good, and gold is almost a must. Thinking of symbolism though, white denotes peace and sincerity. Anargo hasn't been a peaceful sector for very long, but I guess we could say that the white represents a sincerity and devotion to the Emperor or something. Blue denotes loyalty and truth. Again, the Anargo sector cannot claim to be an especially loyal one, with all the rebellions and the whole Age of Apostasy incident... Then again, blue is the colour of the Anargo navy, so I guess it would be cool to have it on our crest. Maybe a bit of red to symbolize the strong military history, since it denotes military fortitude and magnanimity?
If I may be so bold, I've always thought that the Norwegian flag has some very striking colours, almost the same same as the flag of the UK and USA- the red, white and blue (except that the Norwegian flag has a darker blue). Whaddya say?

Perhaps the purity symbolised by white and the loyalty of the blue would reflect the new regime which came into power after the Apostacy? A new begining which would herald a new age etcetera.

Ooh, that's a nice way to think of it. The Anargo crest would have been changed after the Age of Apostasy then. Kewl. In this case, we should definitely have the red, to show that the new regime came to power through war.

Perhaps as the border, both around the whole and around each of the other crests within.

Heheh, I must have been unclear myself, as I was asking for a complete description of the Anargo crest. So right now we've got the eagle with the whole show, and using the colours gold, red, white and blue. So what exactly is 'the whole show'? And btw, Minister, I would like to see more red than just around the borders, but I guess I'm biased because of the Norwegian flag...
