International Heraldry Day
Evidently it is International Heraldy Day in the Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA). Here is mine. It reads: Sable, a phoenix displayed head to sinister Or, in chief two crescents argent #Heraldry, #MySCA, #SCA,

Another coat of arms for one of my RP characters, Camille "Rosy" Grey, a black hat hacker who specializes in covert entry and uses drones to case her target location.
Usually I have some kind of in-universe justification for giving my characters a CoA, but this time I got nothing. I just like making these.
A fleur-de-lis is a heraldic symbol in the shape of a lily with three petals. In fact, the name is French for “lily flower.”
Happy Fleur de lis day to those who celebrate.

I'm only incidentally familiar with solarpunk, although I've liked the bits I have seen. The banner here is a nice bit of #heraldry.
