I'm sorry the College of Heralds has left you feeling like having your arms
registered is an impossibility.    Of course there is always the Sacrament
of 
Reconcilliation. ;-)

I meant that I will never get my arms past again BECAUSE I'm sarcastic and
challenging the heraldic dogma surrounding the (hand over heart) submission
guidelines. 

Confessing murder to my priest would be easier than ensuring that:
1)  the form is not reduced by one percentage point when making copies;
2)  all lines in the rendering are at least 4 pixels wide (or the width of a
#2 pencil when laid on its side and viewed from above);
3)  the design can be grokked by a nearsighted lawyer when the 8.5 by 11
piece of paper is reproduced and shrunk to the size of postage stamp (never
mind that we are forbidden to take such steps on our own...see point #1);
4)  if someone who hasn't been a paid member since dirt was young registered
a device that when set side by side and looked at under a black light seems
to have only one point of difference;
5)  I must use the dirty, chewed on Crayola my 18 month son just finished
using to create what could be described, with a liberal interpretation, as
Byzantine iconography on my kitchen wall and THEN have the whole thing
rejected for style because I don't draw well.

All I'm saying is this: Please find ways to make it easier for people to
have fun, get what they want and find satisfaction from the working with the
Heralds. It's all about customer service.
