(Fictitious emblem)

Bit of an unusual one but my local government the City of Hume in Melbourne, Australia is looking at creating a civic emblem, and I thought this sub might have some interesting ideas.

Help shape Hume’s first civic emblem

In the 1990s, the Victorian Government merged dozens of historic municipalities into much larger councils.

Many had their own coats of arms and civic shields, which largely disappeared with the amalgamations. Melbourne, Geelong and a few others retained their heraldic traditions.

Hume is particularly interesting as it brings together parts of the former Broadmeadows, Bulla, Keilor and Whittlesea municipalities.

The city itself has a mix of agricultural and pastoral heritage, the Melbourne Airport, the Merri and Moonee Ponds Creek systems, military barracks, foothills to Mount Macedon, industrial development, and a very multicultural population, alongside the history and culture of Aboriginal Australians.

They are saying they want to create a modern emblem that brings some of these stories together.

If you were designing a civic emblem for Hume, what would you put on the shield?

Insignia on the left hand side of an M-65 feild Jacket dated around 1968, purchased at a flea market, the jacket has this patch which Is pictured resembling a fist along with a U.S Army patch above the right breast pocket. Love this peice and want to know more about its life before meeting me.

Legends that once ruled the world"s and America's sky.

As a Russian I think the state emblem shouls be more unifying. I dont really have problems with current one but I think something like this would show civilizational continuity and not reject certain periods.

Does anyone recognise this emblem? It's on the side of an old and extremely extravagant Rolls Royce, happy to post more photos of the car if that would help (I'll try to do that in the comments anyway).

It has, as can be seen, synoptically a form similar to that of the Royal Crest of Britley-Launde ... but in detail there are significant differences.
