Another Populace Badge (click to see slightly larger version

For heralds: (Fieldless) A lion's head erased contourny sable.

For non-heralds: This badge can be displayed on any colour background. The lion's head is black and the furry bits hanging down at the end of the neck are important (don't cut them off or make it a straight line). The head should always be looking to the right. The teeth, eye(s) and tongue can be whatever colour you feel is appropriate.

Visit the An Tir Heralds website for an excellent list of ideas on how to use this badge and more examples of lion heads.

The Ensign

And finally we have the An Tir Ensign. This is a flag that any member of the populace can display.

For heralds: Checky Or and argent, a dexter tierce sable.

Notes: The overall shape of the flag should be square or slightly taller than wide. The black band on the left should be 1/4 to 1/3 of the whole width of the flag, and the checkerboard should be made up of at least three squares across and four down. The gold/yellow and silver/white squares should start with a gold/yellow square in the top left corner.

Our ensign was specifically designed to be easy to sew.

The image at right shows the front of the ensign.

The back of the ensign is a mirror image of the front. The black band is always next to the flagpole.

The ensign may be adapted to a triangular pennon shape where appropriate (for the head of a lance, as a small flag on top of a pavilion, etc). Do not use the ensign as a design for a tabard or gown, to be painted on a box, or as anything other than a flag.
