The previous design, which has appeared on everything from Court buildings to tomato ketchup bottles, was originally drawn in 1952/3, and was approximately 6x4 inches in size. This is why it had a tendency to look somewhat weak, or soft, at larger sizes. The new drawing was commissioned specifically to be utilized in any number of ways (etched, sand blasted, cast, carved or painted etc.) at sizes ranging from 500mm to approx. 1500mm - although it would probably work at larger sizes if handled correctly. The artist was chosen for his ability to bring strength and vitality to his work, particularly heraldic beasts, and I think, and would hope others will agree, that the new version will meet with approval from all those who have been disappointed by the symbolic floral logo of the Supreme Court.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
