    St. George (knight) symbol for Mego?

    I've been planning some extra knights for a while, I plan many more customs than I actually do. But one that keeps recurring to me is St. George, and I found a great Megasaur dragon for him.

    His surcoat's heraldic symbol has me stumped. I've done some online image research and I've seen Greek crosses, Latin crosses, the formal St. George Cross (which would seem best, but I'm not sure translates well to a Mego sticker) and a Templar-style cross.

    Of course it will be red on white, but I'm wondering if Britons, medievalists, designers, and any other interested parties here have a suggestion. I want to do something traditional and respectful yet appropriate for Mego scale.

    Thanks!

      Maltese cross, that's a nice shield. Would need a color inversion.

        I'd stick with a simple Latin cross down the front of the tabard and shield. It's as correct as you'll get historically while still getting your point across, and it's sorta the portrait orientation of the the St. George's cross and its landscape layout.

          True. But I wanted to alter the Ivanhoe shield with a completely accurate St. George's cross, and that left me with the dilemma of putting a Templar-type cross as the chest-sticker...

          With your idea, though, I could alter my shield idea and do the Latin cross as a badge-shaped sticker...
