Thread: It's official, I am raising my pennant!

    Default It's official, I am raising my pennant!

    SoG will be at Hurricon next weekend!

    Now that I have force to work with, I am raising my Pennant. (More accurately 'house flag')

    My thanks to Keith and Roberto for making it happen.

    I am sure a lot of gamers are going to enjoy this!

    This promotion kit is going to get a lot of mileage before we get the official shipments.

    Maybe it's just me, but I just want to giggle every time I see the title of this thread.

    One niggle: Shouldn't the seahorses be facing the other way? Left is usually assumed to be "advancing", and asymmetric elements are supposed to "always advance".

    Now that is a very good question, but how do you know this isn't the back side if the flag?

    Seriously though, this is based on an old coat of arms, adapted for this service.

    So, now that you have mentioned it, I am wondering if there is an etiquette that I have missed.

    No -- so far as I can tell, other than the seahorses facing the "wrong" way, it appears to cover the basics of Heraldry, of which Flags are a part (Rule One: Is it actually recognizable? :) ).

    Chris, Thanks for straightening me out! I went back and looked at the original art, and sure enough, they are facing to the left. I would not have noticed.
    I have of course corrected my error.

    I have once again learned something great on this site!
