PKMNA - Armonia House Emblems

Description

For #PKMN-Armonia house emblem contest. You know, I wasn't originally going to participate... But when you wake up 6 a.m. in the morning, and all you can think of is: "I GOTTA design those house emblems!", then by god you gotta design some house emblems.

With my designs, I went with the shield shape, just like armonia's official emblem, [link] and it was a big starting point for my designs. I wanted all of these look somewhat like the original and make them all similar in design so that they look like they are from a same set.

Only PKMN-Armonia group has the permission to use these if I happen to win the contest!

:bulletyellow: Tesla
I think this was the easiest to make of these. Almost everyone has used gears in their designs (theme was technology and innovation) and who I am to blame? They are cool.

:bulletgreen: Cordelia
This was... Interesting to make. The theme of Cordelia is tradition and it took me a while to think how I could show that and how to decorate this. When I think of tradition, I think of something old, even ancient. My starting point was East since that seemed to be the theme of the house (their dorm room is decorated in Eastern theme) thus I was thinking of old rice paper and Chinese/Japanese letters but those are always very risky to do if you don't know the language and I didn't want to write nonsense. So what to do? Unowns of course! I consider them the ancient pokemon letters so why not?

I think this is weakest when considering how I showed the "theme" but visually, I like it.

:bulletred:Selva
Ah! Now this was... "fun." When I started to make this, I knew exactly how I wanted to decorate it but it took me three tries before I was happy with it. The theme was "nature" and since milotic is the founder, of course, the beauty is there too in my design.

:bulletpink:Fable
Hands down, my favourite. The theme of Fable is legends and myths and first I was thinking something like the papers in Cordelia or ribbons or something like that. But the more I thought about it, the more I realized that legends and myths strike me as very beautiful, but also fragile things. Only thing that keeps them alive, is the fact that we believe in them.

Thus, I wanted to do something very fragile looking but beautiful decoration. I looked inspiration from a Finnish mythology "Kalevala" and ended up being inspired by a jewel series of the same name. The jewel, that inspired me heavily here is called "Naisen Ääni" (woman's voice").

:bulletorange:Amity
And last, Amity, with the theme of "balance and ying/yang". This also made me ponder the decorations for a while. The ying/yang ball on top and bottom were obvious but I didn't know what to put on sides. I didn't want to use balance scale like some already had. Then I decided to look inspiration from Celtic designs. They have these beautiful symmetrical symbols that seemed to fit perfectly for this theme because when I think of balance, I also think symmetry.

So, here are my entries! Hope you enjoy them! I must say, I am very pleased how these came out! :) And I swear... Even after this... I still can't remember all the house names by memory!
