"This device is returned for a redraw. While the item blazoned as an "arrow" on the LoI has the exaggerated point expected of a heraldic arrow, it does not have the exaggerated fletchings which are also expected. As a result, the charge is not identifiable, which is a violation of Section VII.7.a of the Rules for Submission, which requires that "Elements must be recognizable solely from their appearance." Drawn with the exaggerated head, but not exaggerated fletchings, the charge could be easily mistaken for a spear."
This submission is a complete re-design

OSCAR finds the name registered exactly as it appears in May of 2002, via the Outlands.
Per fess azure and Or, two hands in birkat kohanim and a double-headed eagle counterchanged
This badge submission caused considerable controversy and comment on a number of heraldic lists, with commenters arguing both that the motif of "Kohanic Hands" is presumtuous and should not be registered, and others arguing that it is just fine. Given that most of the arguments turn on whether membership in a particular religious/ethnic group should be protected/reserved by the College of Arms, I am submitting the badge for the Soverigns of Arms to make that determination.
