Some call me "Bran". Some call me "S:reu Excelsio". Some call me "Dude". Nevertheless, my name is Bråneu Excelsio.
If it so please the Squirrel King of Arms, I request the assistance of the College in designing and obtaining arms for myself and my lawful heirs.
My favorite color is Royal Blue.
And also I like designing Coats of Arms, I find it fascinating.
I shall await your kind response.
Bumping this to hopefully bring it to the attention of a herald.
@Baron Alexandreu Davinescu or
@Dr. Txec Róibeard dal Nordselvă, Esq., O.SPM, SMMUntil then, it sounds like you have an interest in designing coats of arms. Did you have a design in mind for a starting point? Maybe some thematic elements you would like to include?

This requires approval from the dean or acting dean (of which I am neither). I don't know if I'm empowered to accept the application or not as a herald.

Sorry REH, thank you for the clarification.

Acting on behalf of the Dean, the Coletx d'Armeux Rexhital accepts this application. Would the Oblivious Auditing Fellow like to take it?

I would be honoured, Baron.

After further discussion with the armiger, I submit the following blazon for approval:
Azure, mullety argent and over all a bull rampant of the second.

In looking through the current status of applications, I see this very nice job by our OAF. Nicely done. Now that you've completed an arms project, you are entitled to become a Fellow in the College. You have the option of choosing one of the previously established fellowships such as The Lookout Fellow, The Fulbright Fellow (my own previous role), or we can create one just for you. Once you've decided let us know and we will make it so.

Thank you so much! I am honoured by the Squirrel Viceroy, and will accept The Fulbright Fellow.

Correct. We are waiting on the next Honors Day for the granting which should be in August 24.

Maybe next time.

Just a mistake, no worries -- I'll text the king and ask him to amend the request when he has a chance.
An accidental oversight. Have no fear!

Thanks! I'm sorry haha, perhaps I was too excited about it. Thank you both!
@Bråneu Excelsio , did we ever take care of this? Let's get the next honours set up. Also, the file from the Fulbright Fellow seems to have taken a runner -- do you happen to have the design, and are you still happy with it?
Carlüs helped me by making my design! I just checked my messages and his links are still up online on Dropbox :)
I'd like to change it given the opportunity to do it, but no rush really, I know you're getting better,
@Carlüs Éovart Vilaçafat (:
Thanks, Baron!
Hey
@Bråneu Excelsio I'd be glad to change it up for you before it's official. Did you have a specific change in mind?

Yes!
I'll send you a PM.
After much discussion and design with the armiger, I submit the following arms to El Coletx for approval:
QuotePer fess indented, or and vert. In chief a laurel of coffee branches proper, in base a bar azure and tiger passant proper langued gules.

Under the rules of heraldry, you can't place a color on a color. The blue bar placed on top of the green background does not provide sufficient contrast. Check rule 2.1 and 2.2 on this. The blazon and emblazonment won't pass muster.

Understood, I will work with the armiger and resubmit. Thank you for your review and guidance!

I reconvened with the armiger and have adjusted the blazon thusly:

This design has a complexity of five, so it isn't breaking any guideline, but it's certainly busy. Honestly, there are two simple and powerful escutcheons here -- like it almost visually reads as someone combining Per fess indented, or and vert. In chief a laurel of coffee branches proper. and Vert, a bar argent and tiger passant proper langued gules. Still, de gustibus non est disputandum.
I believe that there is good contrast between the elements, and so it is acceptable.
-Dean
I thank the Dean for his consideration.
-TFF
I agree it is busy but it does pass the rules of heraldry.

Nice. Busy but very nice, yes.
This version should pass muster.

With our apologies, in looking over the RTCoA board, I realized we never asked the King to grant these arms. I've petitioned His Majesty to grant them at the next day of honours on 26 December.
All the Best for today...

If I become a citizen again, can I use this?
Yes, you never lost the right to use and display your arms. They are granted to you and your male heirs without condition.
