It's aromantic spectrum awareness week! So my first upload here on •ART is a #PrideShield for the #aromantic

Vert an inescutcheon tierced per fesse Argent, Cendrée and Sable.

A note on symbolism: The field Vert represents the aro community, lending their support to each other in the form of the inescutcheon.

Today's #heraldicpride will not be a single #PrideShield, it will be three! Different designs for #aroace #pride.

An #asexuality #PrideShield

Purpure an inescutcheon tierced per fesse Sable, Cendrée and Argent.

I was very taken with the inversion of tones between the ace and aro flags, so I echoed it in these shields.

An aromantic #PrideShield

Vert an inescutcheon tierced per fesse Argent, Cendrée and Sable.

#heraldicpride detail; The inescutcheon is a smaller shield within a larger one (the escutcheon).

A bear #PrideShield

Pean, in first quarter a bear paw Tenné armed Argent.

Pean here is a fur, a variant of Ermine, so most of this shield is covered in black fur. The tincture for the paw, Tenné, is one of those known as a stain, but, as before with Murrey, I think we can use it as an honourable colour in this context.

It is a paw, rather than a print, since it allows the claws to be tinctured separately. They’re silver, a gleaming metal amongst the dark fur of the field.

A #transgender #PrideShield

Party per fesse Rose and Bleu celeste, countercharged a fesse chequy. Over all a palet Argent.

#heraldicpride details and comments in 🧵

A #demiromantic #PrideShield

Party per chevron reversed enhanced, the upper portion sable and the lower tierced per pale Argent, Vert and Cendrée.

#heraldicpride

A #Polyamory #PrideShield

Party per chevron couched sinister enhanced, the dexter portion tierced per fesse Azure, Fuchsia and Purpure, in chief dexter a heart Or, the sinister portion Argent.

#heraldicpride details in 🧵

As promised, a #NoCopsAtPride shield! A statement in heraldic language.

Azure a bar chequy Argent and Sable, gored sinister Tenné.

The principle blazon (blue with chequered stripe) is just to represent police, but the gore is a special and seldom seen thing.

Technically known as an abatement, it is used to signify cowardice and dishonour. It boldly declares "You are not welcome, dishonourable coward, be gone!"
