Royal coat of arms of the United Kingdom

The colours are fixed; it is the coat of arms of the United Kingdom. I do not understand the second part of the comment: what is the not authentic thing? I drew it with Inkscape. Here is a FP of a similar CoA, also drawn with Inkscape.Chabacano 06:28, 8 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The link below I think would have been a better version. I can see how long this must have taken if you worked with original outlines, but I just don't believe it to have that historical COA feel - but hey just my opinion and this is way off from my area of expertise. Changed to neutral as I agree that was probably a bit harsh --Benchat 06:19, 9 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
You are right with the lion, The source I used is the only one in which it appears slanting :P. I have changed it. About the mantle, I haven't seen any requirements, but now that you mention it, I have noticed that "inward"-"outward" thing. I have added a piece of gold as in this one to enforce the "gold is outwards" habit.Chabacano 04:59, 11 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The lion is much better now and I like the change to the mantling. I can easily support this version. Valentinian T / C 09:14, 11 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Just a suggestion: the Scottish lion might benefit from a thin black outline like the one on the English lions, but this is a minor point. Btw, it is nice to see the difference between heraldic lions and heraldic leopards correctly applied. :) Valentinian T / C 09:27, 11 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
