I came up with these. If something from the old tabard ashould be saved i say its the Border's type. Since regular opinion about my tabards maching my outfit i deleted the first, but since some people liked the second try i just changed the outfit to my NORMAL gear.

ok lads and lasses....I couldn't decide which is best so I made 3...I hope it's a valid entry... :S 1 (please note that that is RED NOT PINK!) 2 3 I'm happiest with this tabbard. Let me explain the backstory...Do you know in Lordaeron, the first room you go into there's a bell embedded into the floor. It would be a good idea to make it a symbol....like that bell signifies the light and once you pass it you are under the protection of Lordaeron. It would be cool to make some sort of RP story where we are trying to get back the Lordaeron Bell...it symbolises all that is fiar of Lordaeron... Anyways, those are my entries...enjoy!

I used imageshack.us/ but notice that any file type dosent work on it. You most change the screenshot file's type before you can post them here. I kinda like belgaias *bell* idea, but Border color could be little brighter.

1. 2. 1. This first tabard kept the symbol of Tabard nr.1 (http://inqusitiors.proboards80.com/index.cgi?board=rules&action=display&thread=1134029497) and the concept behind it is this: "We are the ones who will attack and reclaim Lordaeron (the sword) and thereafter protect it (the shield) blood will be shed (the red color) but eventually we will prevail and be victorious! (the bright yellow color represent victory)." 2. The second Tabard kept the Border just like the one Idori's tabards (http://inqusitiors.proboards80.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=1146469024) and the concept is this: "We will shine when all is dark, (the bright yellow bird/birds within the dark background) and after we WILL reclaim and then protect Lordaeron and all of our people, and keep them under our wings (the wings of the bird) and restore Lordaeron's valor once again (the border fit that perfectly in my opinion)

Not to critisise Zal, but the sword and shield is the most common tabard symbols I have seen playing this game....the two-headed eagle though is not so common. Historically it was used by Teutons and German Knights, and the Romans...and in fiction it is used by The Imperium of man in Warhammer 40000

I have one juggestion, since its about lordaeron we should have its colors in the tabard. Blue and white( ofc other colors are not banned)

Hm. Apologies for the grainy crapness of the image, can't work out what went wrong, not that I've bothered trying tbh. Anyway, here's my two cents (or pence). img465.imageshack.us/my.php?image=tabard5fs.jpgThe reason behind it? Inquisitors is getting grief, as far as I can see, from other guilds about our RP purpose and whatnot. The two lions on the navy blue represent monarchy, and the fact that the Inquisitors serve the King and not just their own often contraversial 'whims'. It should serve as a reminder that we, as an RPing guild, obey Stormwind and fight for it and therefore that we're not a bunch of noobs picking up a random story and going with it. It was always, in my mind, gonna be blue and white, and the Lordaeron connection is just extra sweet goodness, in my view (I had no idea about that, so ty as well, Belgaia xD). In addition to the regal tone, lions are often used to symbolize bravery and fearlessness, which is precisely what the Inquisitors - as soldiers - are trained to display. The general style - the plain border, the uniform colours - are simply because, at the time, spending extra time and money stitching out really complicated and superfluously aesthetically pleasing details were a bit... Well, not for peons, and while I'm not suggesting we ARE peons, I just don't think going too fancy with it would fit in with the style of RP guild that we are (i.e. military). It gets the point across in a very straightforward way, unlike me, who is instead rambling on and on... Also - have we added the Inquisitors tabard to the Heraldry list in DB forums already, or would it be a good idea to when we've settled on a design? It's been a while since I checked that thread but it might be a good idea to get us added, especially what with our numbers growing. *Finally shuts the hell up* /bow EDIT: Okay, imageshack hates me. Am trying to fix it. Second EDIT: Erm... Just click on the link. I'll go whinge about technology pwning me >_<;
