I managed to stop by the library after work today, and lo and behold, there it is. I think the university design is taking some liberties with the demi-eagle (since usually at least some of the body is shown), which makes it look a bit weird. (See some Transylvanian and German arms for comparison.)

Also, looking at that blazon, you have to wonder why they didn't use the crest.

It certainly has some competition.

Keep in mind that most heraldic dolphins were drawn by people who (a) had very limited information on marine biology and (b) had probably never seen a dolphin. There's a similar problem with the lion's most famous position, as a proper rampant position is virtually impossible in nature, but since it's so well-known, it's often overlooked.

your fantasy sentai team is so serious!!! but cool tho... uwu

I guess I didn't give as much consideration to emotional balance as to who would look good doing a slow walk in front of an explosion.  But I think Ryuji and Mako would be great team parents.

Nope. Their first on-panel kiss was the end of Children's Crusade. They might have gotten cuddly before that, I don't recall, but no kisses.

Hey, do you have a any advice for blazoning letters and numbers on shields? I'm not sure what the language would be.

For single letters, what I’ve seen and what I do is to specify the letter- eg. “azure a letter D or.” Sometimes, if the font is stylized enough that it’s not immediately obvious, I’ll include an indication of that; for example, I would blazon the D in the Disney logo as “a stylized letter D argent”. (I tag all the examples I post here with “letters.”) I expect something similar would suffice for single numerals, though I haven’t encountered any. I’ve only seen years, and that’s mostly in corporate arms; for that, I would just state the year in the blazon, making sure to specify that it’s a year (“on a chief argent, the date 1961 sable.”) For the example above, you might also put “1961” in quotation marks.

Hope this was helpful!
