The following items were RETURNED for further work:
-
Akilina Ianikitova - New Device. Purpure, a mouse dormant and a natural lily argent. Returned for re-draw. There were identifiability issues with the lily - it was variously identified as a wizard's staff, a cotton ball, a pearl earring, or an aurum lily.
-
Alamanda de la Roca - New Device. Per chevron azure and argent, three mullets of eight point one and two argent and a salamander rampant sable. Return for re-draw. this device is not on the standard shield shape from the approved forms, so it makes it hard to tell, but the line of division is way too low on the field. (Using the guides on the standard form, the chevron should have as much of the point above the horizontal marks as it has below at the sides). Further, the mullets are too small to really be considered co-primary. Finally, the charge at the bottom was not readily identified as a salamander, being described as the Geico Gecko or a ferret. If this is to be a heraldic salamander it needs flames. If it is to be a natural salamander it needs to either be tergiant or drawn very carefully, with appropriate detailing, in order to allow the viewer to distinguish it from a weasel or ferret.
-
Andrew von Otelingen - New Badge, Quarterly azure and argent, a bordure counterchanged. Pended last month while submitter waited for a letter of permission to conflict, the letter was not received and thus this submission is returned for conflict.
-
Ellinor Rose Sanbourne - New Device, Azure, a rose within an orle argent. Pended last month while submitter waited for multiple letters of permission to conflict, the letters were not received and thus this submission is returned for conflict.
-
Isaac Fulk Hod - New Name and New Device. Argent on a fess sable between two boars passant to sinister gules, three towers argent. Withdrawn by submitter.
-
John Vyse of York - New Name and New Device. Ermine, a hound's head erased gules. Withdrawn by submitter.
-
Jürgen Thode der Smutje - New Name and New Device. Per fess sable and argent, a lion passant and an anchor counterchanged. Returned for lack of documentation. While Jürgen Thode is "an excellent 15th C Low German name", we cannot find any dated documentation for anything close to "der Smutje". Since submitter does not allow major changes, we are unable to drop this name element to allow registration. Device is returned for lack of name to submit it with.
-
Nest verch Gryffry - New Name. Returned for aural conflict with Annest verch Gruffydd (reg. 01/2011 via Ansteorra). the names are not different enough in sound to allow this registration. Submitter may add or remove a name element to clear this conflict, or if they feel strongly enough about this name, they can appeal this return directly to Laurel.
