What is your home town emblem?
 
Hi guys...
You know like every one here is from all over the world? What is your hometown's crest or flag? My land of merry England has quite a few medieval crests (which I took some snaps of stone shields while I was in London, I'll post them soon) they are quite different from the Leeds coat of arms (born and raised)

I always find the art of medieval emblems cool since I was little. One day I'd love to see the world and collect little material crests that rep the county. I once went to Austria skiing with school and I loved it there the mountains were so beautiful. So as a keep shake I brought the Austrian coat of arms.
it is red and white and has a black crowned eagle.


So here is my cities coat of arms

Redhill's emblem is probably a beer can and a burberry shaded penis crossing behind a giant hobo passed out in his own vomit

It's a mariner crossed by an anchor/coal mine, with a badger and ice cream sundae on the left and right bottom corners.

I'm from the city of Newport in South Wales, when it comes to its emblem I have no idea. Newport sucks really, the two good things that it's brought out is Daintan from Dirty Sanchez, and Goldie Looking Chain. The best part of Newport is the village that I use live in, Caerleon. It's where King Arthur and Merlin lived for a while, we have a castle in the middle where, legend has it, King Arthur and his men are buried. We also have an amphitheatre, which is kinda cool coz it's right behind my old house. But now me and my family live in this other village just up the road called Ponthir (Pont-ear), it isn't as cool as caerleon though.

Here are some Hungarian crests and stuff. First one is the National crest, the second is Budapest's crest.

Angel-FoX-crescent 02-14-2005 11:18 AM

^-^

Oh by the way dripik how do you like my crest?

Woo, noob mod.
We have actual mods to say these things, and members making comments like that (and like this one :fuzmad:) are potential flame-war starters. This is probably because it comes across as pretty condescending (like this).

As for emblems, I have to find the one for my town for an RE homework thing a while ago, it has something to do with Virgin Mary, but I did that homework quickly before the lesson it was due, so I don't remember what it was. And I think I made it up anyway. Furthermore, this place is too insignificant to warrant an emblem.

Also, remember to stay on topic. Just like me :fuzwink:

Angel-FoX-crescent 02-14-2005 12:57 PM

I have never and I'm not gonna start ether
a flame-war
I wish people wouldn't do that.

Haha.

My emblem is a scale and two blindfolded chicks. But if I were in charge it'd be a smiley face giving the finger. Or thumbs up.

Here's the crest of my hometown:
http://www.hoogezand-sappemeer.nl/picstekst/c.gif

The weapon of the municipality Hoogezand-Sappemeer unites elements from the weapons of the municipalities Hoogezand and Sappemeer.
In the top red area, a golden tooth wheel between a klinkhamer and a carpenters hammer has been represented.
This symbolizes the industry in Hoogezand.
On the bottom green area state a silver team above four zilverblauwe wave. This is a reference to the agricultural background of Sappemeer and to the location at the Winschoterdiep.
The both areas are strong grown together.


PS : sorry for the bad english but i think you can understand it :)

Olli 02-14-2005 01:15 PM

I'm sorry, I wasn't trying to accuse you of actually being a flame-war starter. I was trying to suggest that insisting on or requesting things in relation to conduct and behaviour is the job of the mods, and that normal members doing it can come across negatively.

And yes, I am aware of my current hypocrisy.
I apologise for my disruption of this thread.

I tried my best to find Upton's Coat-of-Arms, but I couldn't find an exact match.
I did find one for a pretty local town though.

I know it doesn't really count, but I wanted to try.

Angel-FoX-crescent 02-14-2005 01:57 PM

Very cool crests indeed ^-^
Yeah I'm sorry too Olli if I snapped at you.
It really anoys me when I try and post nice things that will not vex people coz I'm not like that.

Abeguy 02-14-2005 04:07 PM

Can't find one of my home town, but it would probably look like this
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5...oman/crest.bmp
the Mcdonalds sign cause we have a lot of fast food places, the meth and gun cause we've have had a couple shoot out a couple blocks from where I live, a couple drug busts a couple blocks from where I live and a meth bust in the house behind mine.
the Race thing cause we have a race track and I don't know why I put the sleeping guy.
Did find one of my surname though

dripik 02-15-2005 06:08 AM

Yeah, all the crests are cool. Even the hand-drawed ones. :D

Angel-FoX-crescent 02-15-2005 09:21 AM

Yeah they are ^-^
I've created a crest for my family I'll have to get that up soon.

Dipstikk 02-15-2005 03:07 PM

To my knowledge we don't have a city emblem, because I'm pretty sure that people are too dumb to think of one.

But if we did, it would probably be designed by some retard in overalls and a plaid shirt, depicting some beer-bellied, slack-jawed dipshit sodomizing his freaking coon-hound.
"...ARF!"

Oh, how I hate Florida.

Billy Cripner 02-15-2005 08:08 PM

Funny, Abeguy, I can imagine your town right now.
My town I don't think has an emblem thingy, but I wonder what it would look like if it did.

Rich 02-16-2005 01:16 PM

I googled 'Wolverhampton coat of arms'.

I like the motto, even if it is cheesy.

Abeguy 02-24-2005 01:10 PM

Cheesy indeed:D:D

Nate 02-24-2005 05:52 PM

This is the flag of the state of Victoria. The emblem is the right half, the southern cross with the british crown on top. Because we're all a bunch of toe-sucking monarchists, of course.

It's good to see you still bow down to your Imperial masters. ;)
