Gyronny should be listed, but how should it be described? --Daniel C. Boyer 16:18, 26 Nov 2003 (UTC)

I put it under variations of the field. - Montréalais 06:19, 17 Dec 2003 (UTC)

[edit] Per bordure and the orle

Does anyone know, or have an example of, an orle "per bordure"? Because it strikes me that it should be possible for this to happen. Does this exist? Is it otherwise described? --Daniel C. Boyer 19:43, 7 May 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Ivory Coast

The arms of Côte d'Ivoire show a unique (and arguably unheraldic) instance of one tincture "fading into" another.[1]

The citation listed indicates that the gradient is not part of the blazon, but an affectation of the graphic artist, and that the blazon indicates the background is simply vert. Côte d'Ivoire shows a coat of arms whereof the blazon is flat vert, not a gradient.- Montréalais 16:21, 9 May 2004 (UTC)

But see "According to Cote d'Ivoire Embassy in Tokyo they confirm they modified the coat of arms and changed the colour in shield from green to orange fading to green and in scroll from green to orange, white and green. They gave me the government website which shows the current coat of arms image. I am asking them when they changed colours and bit design.

Nozomi Kariyasu, 17 January 2002" in the cite. As best as I can research it there seems to be some confusion on this point. Are you still saying that the blazon has remained constant and the depiction has changed to this bizarre gradient version? That would be even more interesting. I think we might want to get this researched to see where the problem is coming in. --Daniel C. Boyer 17:43, 10 May 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Merge

I believe that this page should be merged with Heraldry. It should be a category in the Heraldry page. Opinions? (RG 20:13, 22 February 2006 (UTC))

[edit] Novohrad-Volyns'kyi
