(last post: March 14, 2008 - 13:16) | Try to unhaze yourself and see if you can write up something that sounds sort of formal regarding the symbolism. We can always edit to make it read well.
When in doubt, make something up. It'll probably read better that way anyway. :-)
As for the colors, I have always been of the mindset that any provincial heraldry needs to somehow compliment or tie in with the theme of the country's heraldry. Red White and Green seem to be the colors we use in Talossa so let's get them involved.

(last post: March 14, 2008 - 13:42) | Here's what I've come up with. The spelling may be off in some cases. If any Florencian would like to edit, modify or add something, feel free. I think that will add to the symbolic nature of the history of our flag.
The Flag of Florencia bears the colours of the Republic to remind us that we are part of something bigger. The Star is there as a symbol of the pioneers who went before us and who lead us still today. The stylized lily represents the stargazer lily, our provincial flower. Lilies have historically been symbols of majesty, power and ambition; all of which are virtues embodied by the citizens of Florencia. Red represents our struggles against tyranny and white represents the innocents of our actions in the face of oppression.
Independently, these symbols represent who we are; collectivly, they represent what we are..
Florencia.
I'm still working on a description of the CoA. Bear with me, I think I've come down with the flu and I don't feel like doing much. |

(last post: March 14, 2008 - 13:16) | The flag explanation looks pretty good. I'll look at it again tonight and see if it still does. The coat of arms you can take your time with, at least a few days. It'd be nice to present the whole completed package (Cons with schedules) by Tuesday 26th at the latest. This way we have a couple of days to look at it before voting.

(last post: March 14, 2008 - 13:42) | The one we have is too big, there's too much white space and is drawn rather poorly. It looked a lot better when it was black work but when we coloured it, it went wonky. I'll work my ass off to get something finished by Tuesday. It will be more simple and less spread out. |

(last post: March 14, 2008 - 13:42) | I'm done trying to make a coat of arms. It's not like we'll use it anyway.
If someone else wants to write up a description of the CoA, feel free. The lions are suppost to be Berber lions, they represent our mythical history and our symbols of pride, courage and power. Have at it. |
