•  Oppose changed to  Neutral --Ben^chat 06:19, 9 October 2007 (UTC) sorry but the colours just don't do it for me, obviously constructed using a program not authentic --Ben^chat 06:12, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

The colours are fixed; it is the coat of arms of the United Kingdom. I do not understand the second part of the comment: what is the not authentic thing? I drew it with Inkscape. Here is a FP of a similar CoA, also drawn with Inkscape.Chabacano 06:28, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

The link below I think would have been a better version. I can see how long this must have taken if you worked with original outlines, but I just don't believe it to have that historical COA feel - but hey just my opinion and this is way off from my area of expertise. Changed to neutral as I agree that was probably a bit harsh --Ben^chat 06:19, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

•  Neutral Very nice drawing and iam shure you spent a lot time to this. For my taste the colors are a bit pallid if i compare it with a other version --Richard Bartz 17:55, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
•  Support Considering Image:British Antarctic Territory COA.svg is a featured image, this being much more detailed and carefully made should bet FP as well. -- Drini 18:53, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

•  Neutral changed to  Support I really like this image and overall a very fine piece of work. Unfortunately the third lion in the fourth quarter isn't positioned naturally. The same error is repeated on the reference image which is equally odd. The three lions should be shown aligned horizontally with each other, in decreasing size given the more limited space allotted for the lower ones. Compare with a Swedish coat of arms where three lions are more naturally aligned (if this example is hard to see, compare with drawing based on the preceding link). See also this image where the third lion should have been a little shorter to fit properly into the shield. The lion is more correctly aligned on [1], [2], [3] (top image and the seal of Edward VII). If this is fixed, I'll definitely support. Btw, regarding the mantling; is it specified if the gold side faces "up" or "down"? Most images I remember genererally have the gold side facing "out" and the ermine facing "inwards". Just a thought. Valentinian ^{T / C} 08:08, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

You are right with the lion, The source I used is the only one in which it appears slanting :P. I have changed it. About the mantle, I haven't seen any requirements, but now that you mention it, I have noticed that "inward"-"outward" thing. I have added a piece of gold as in this one to enforce the "gold is outwards" habit.Chabacano 04:59, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

The lion is much better now and I like the change to the mantling. I can easily support this version. Valentinian ^{T / C} 09:14, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

Just a suggestion: the Scottish lion might benefit from a thin black outline like the one on the English lions, but this is a minor point. Btw, it is nice to see the difference between heraldic lions and heraldic leopards correctly applied. :) Valentinian ^{T / C} 09:27, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
