    Heraldry for future sets: —Bill Farkas
   I was looking at the emblem on the front of a Pontiac the other day and thought that it would look great as an insignia for castle armor or shields. Then it reminded me of the old Yellow Castle insignia (the Pontiac kept saying "remember the old (...) (25 years ago, 5-Apr-00, to lugnet.castle)

     (...) I wouldn't mind seeing some non-animal blazons again. I always kind of liked the one that was bordure azure, divided per pale gules and argent. Nice and simple.

        Re: Heraldry for future sets: —Kevin Knoot
     I would *love* to see lego produce some old-school style heraldry. Some basic geometrical shapes, like chevrons, or any updates of the original crusader-style crests would be welcomed by all, and lead to an increase in sales. Actually, a brilliant (...)

     (...) Personally I really don't like stickers. I see what you mean in terms of customizing the torso's and shields to your liking but I would prefer printed torso's and shields to stickered ones. I guess one option would be to print one Herald on (...) (25 years ago, 6-Apr-00, to lugnet.dear-lego)  
    
         Re: Heraldry for future sets: —Jeff Johnston
     (...) I wonder if a lot of people felt that way, and that's why they moved to preprinted torsos? (...) I would just make the stickers the size/shape of the minifig torso or shield itself - probably the easiest. (...) That'd work. (In fact, I've (...) (25 years ago, 6-Apr-00, to lugnet.dear-lego)
