Guide our souls to the Elysium Fields
Bear us home upon our shields
Lay coins across our brows and sound the bells
We're paying our fare on the river to Hell
And when our sons and mothers lay us upon the funeral pyre
Tell them we died Hellenic soldiers with our faces to the fire

Bear us home upon our shields
Lay coins across our brows and sound the bells

This is the layout of the seals main graphic. Each shield corresponds to one of the four kingdoms that compose the Confederated Hellenic Empire.
Red: "Lacedemonia" (Sparta)
Green: "Athenoi" (Athens)
Black: "Macedonika" (Macedon)
Blue: "Attalids" (Pergamum)
This is the spartan shield.
This would be an Athenian shield
This is the design of a Macedonian shield
And this is the symbol on a Pergamum shield.
This needlessly complex seal isn't done yet, no sir.
I'd like each shield to be labled with it's kingdom, the name curving along the top of each shield. It's fine if the overlapping parts obscure some letters. (Say, "Attalids" being partially covered by the Athenian shield.)
Furthermore, I would really like Όλα κάτω από τον ου�ανό across the bottom of the seal in some sort of stylized script.
I'd like the background to be the same background as my flag, with the green for the Athenian shield being a darker green than my flag-green.

Re: Vexillology (the Making of Flags)
BUT IF YOU CALL IN THE NEXT TEN MINUTES :siren:
I could use some unit insignias for the ole navy, like we discussed. These are pretty simple things: basically the characters "ΛΕ" followed by the unit's name in addition to a simple graphic that embodies the unit's spirit.
For starters, could you do: "Proto Xiphos" (First Swords)
This one is simply three horizontal Greek falcata under the unit name
And "Ar'Repeta Mavroi" (The Serpent Black)
This one is the unit name ^ over this
Oh and "Gyfr Pyrapoli" (Bridgeburners) Simply a burning silhouette of a suspension bridge. o.0
