SoaringAven @soaringaven.bsky.social · 25/12/20251/ An overview of the coats of arms and flags I designed for Czech municipalities and which were also granted in the year. Technically there should be two more but those haven't been granted yet. While they have received expert pre-approval, the Czech parliamentary elections... 150

Reposted by SoaringAven#Heraldecember @heraldecember.bsky.social · 30/11/2025And once again - now for the fifth time - we kick off a new edition of #Heraldecember! This year's prompts are inspired by various famous novels from around the globe. (More info below...) #heraldry #heraldecember2025 #artprompt #promptlist #artchallenge 1148
SoaringAven @soaringaven.bsky.social · 01/12/2025#Heraldecember 2025, day 1 prompt - Counterfeit Can't say if I'll have time, energy or inspiration to do all of the prompts (knowing myself, that's a no), but here's a little something. "Bezants voided" are sometimes refered to as "false roundels". #heraldecember2025 2145
SoaringAven @soaringaven.bsky.social · 30/11/2025🧵 The fourth entry in my trilobite series comes from the municipality of Skryje. The first written mention of the village dates to 1229. Like many small Czech settlements, it changed hands repeatedly over the centuries, being traded, bought, sold, divided, reunited, and governed by various minor... 130
SoaringAven @soaringaven.bsky.social · 29/11/2025🧵 The third municipality in my trilobite series is Málkov in Central Bohemia. A small community of around ninety inhabitants, Málkov is a typical Bohemian agricultural village. Depending on the source, it dates back either to the eleventh or the fourteenth century. 120
SoaringAven @soaringaven.bsky.social · 27/11/2025🧵 The second arms and flag in my trilobite series belong to the municipality of Čelechovice na Hané. The name itself suggests its location in the fertile ethno-geographical region of Hanakia (Haná), sometimes referred to as the breadbasket of Czechia. 131
SoaringAven @soaringaven.bsky.social · 26/11/2025Lately I have been looking into unusual charges in Czech municipal heraldry and ended up finding five coats of arms in the country that feature a trilobite. Naturally I had to emblazon all of them. This one is the first, belonging to the town of Jince. (1/6) 240
SoaringAven @soaringaven.bsky.social · 22/11/2025I spotted the flag of Český Brod while visiting the town earlier this week. It’s an interesting way of turning the coat of arms into a flag. The original arms follow a common Central European pattern with a city gate and inescutcheons containing the imperial eagle and the Bohemian lion. (1/3) 130
SoaringAven @soaringaven.bsky.social · 18/10/2025I had the opportunity to visit another one of "my" towns. This time, it was Bernartice, whose #coatofarms and #flag I designed earlier this year. This small town holds a surprising story. The prominent feature in its coat of arms, an unfinished bridge, (1/6) #heraldry #vexillology 151
SoaringAven @soaringaven.bsky.social · 16/10/2025Another visit to Lipnice nad Sázavou for a meeting of the Subcommittee for Heraldry and Vexillology. The town's flag is an excellent way to simplify the historical arms without resorting to a banner of arms. Those are unfortunately overused, and with the overwhelming... (1/2) 162
