Armorial Ensigns of the Well-Known

Arms of several Ivy League schools.

This weekend I was able to scratch off several more projects, including these emblazonments.  Certainly well known, no doubt.

I was actually a bit surprised with how my version of Princeton's arms turned out.  The tenne, or orange "stain," looks like stain to me!

Coat of Arms of the University of Pennsylvania.

And since both Princeton and UPenn share basically the same field division (chevron and chief), these two arms came together in vector format rather quickly.

Brown University's coat of arms are rather simple and quite lovely as such--I especially like how the open books are blazoned in red.  In rendering their arms in my heater shield shape, it is acceptable to have the sizes of the charges in base be smaller than their chiefly counterparts.

Coat of Arms of Stanford University.

While I previously shared my emblazonment for Stanford University's arms, it only seems fitting to include those here--the "Harvard of the West Coast."

I wanted to get the arms of Cambridge and Oxford completed as well.  

Honestly, I feel like the sky is my limit now when considering which heraldic projects to tackle next.  Practicing with all these well-know arms has been great to learn my software (and more importantly, patience).
