Coat of Arms - Order of the Couch

[theoldwolf]

Much back-and-forth over at The Confusion Couch about a coat of arms, a motto, something that will represent our camaraderie and flights of fancy.

Bmonk has given us a crest to work with; his description: "Black shield with a white couch, and a jagged green border. Above the couch a gold star. Green = Pibgorn’s color for her world. Jagged border (“dancetty”) for the dance of the fairies, but also to indicate confusion. Black for the darkness of the confused surrounding the couch, and also for the faithfulness of the couch crew despite being in the dark. The gold star for the “favorites”, but also for the enlightenment that eventually comes to us."

I took the liberty of gussying it up a bit, with a cauldron for a helm, signifying all the good recipes we share, and Pib and Dru rampant, because I like to look at them. So there. No other reason. Motto: Omnes me confundit - "Everything confuses me".

Here's a place to gather together any and all suggestions. No sign-in is required to post a comment. No idea will be considered foolish, or too loony. Comments will be screened, however, and may take until the next morning to become visible if they are posted late in the evening.

Once we have something that everyone is either pleased with or can live with, I'm going to see what can be done about formalizing it.

Ready? Go!

Motto (I think) could be: "Sum tam confusus."

I like the looks now -- KISS -- but there (ideally) should be a strip of white between the black and the border. Proportions look good. And the contrast of each supporter against the border on that side is good too. Only one real grip, in fact: can we get something more appetizing in the cauldron? Spaghetti, or Chocolate/coffee froth or something?

Should the white strip follow the teeth of the border or be a straight line following the shape of the shield? See other comments for cauldron possibilities.
