Progress

Above is the latest piece of progress with regard to the design.
I have taken the original Leeds Coat of Arms design and traced the basic composition and shape.

Following this i have re-designed it using some of the elements we had chosen. In the middle image you can see both layers together to hopefully get a rough idea of how the image has changed but the composition has remained similar.

I have replaced the shield with a surfboard, the Owls with waves, the floral decoration with a rising sun and have kept the text scroll the same. in doing this i hope the image has become more relevant to the group it represents, whilst maintaining a reference to the Leeds area.

The above are working drawings, anything can be changed and the texture and weight of line will evolve, most importantly the lines will likely have more variation and certain areas will be shaded and possibly coloured.
