Hello all !

John-Mahmud here. Passionate about color and organized colors, which naturally led me to heraldry (where you'll see most of me) and public transportation networks (on which I sometimes delve).

I create blazons available on Wikimedia, mainly for french cities. I use the Projet:Blasons' Guidelines on blazon drawing, as expectable for french cities :

• Using only french shield shapes (ancient or modern) for french cities and people, using Projet:Blasons's shields for foreign arms. These incorporate flat colours, with an overall shade layer meant to offer a "3D" effect.
• Using the colors specified by the Projet:Blasons and used in France. I use all colours available (including Sanguine, Murrey, Celeste, Tenné, Orange, etc.), as they are given by the french palette. Nope, fellow brits : Tawny and Orange are two different colors !
• Using correct proportions for ordinaries : 1/3 for bends, fesses, pales, etc. ; 1/6 for bendlets, crosslets, etc. ; 1/9 for fillets.

If you're looking for someone to turn your virtual shield into reality, I know a real-life shield maker who can construct your own medieval shield, with leather straps for hand usage or wooden handles for display.

  Initial arms of La Flèche, Sarthe, given to the city by D'HOZIER as Heraldist to Louis XIV. The city now uses the arms given to the city's guard regimen, as it features the Chief of France moderne, yet given by the same man.
•

• 
  Blason de Cherveux (Deux-Sèvres)
• 
  New arms of Perrignier (Haute-Savoie), ordered by the city in order to simplify their former arms, which were absurdly complex.

• 
  Blason de Massognes, Vienne. The statue of Mercury on the dexter field, is from Thom.lanaud (talk · contribs).
• 
  Blason de Tersannes, Vienne. Aligning those bezants was insanely harder than you'd expect.

• 
  Arms of Coulours, Yonne...
