A week isn't enough.  :)

Badges are not restricted in shape and may be displayed on any armorial
shape you wish.
Yes, there's conflict.  Argent, a falcon striking sable, a bordure gules.
(Stephen Grimfalcon de Norfolk)
There's only one CD between them for tincture of the bordure.

Hrm.  What else do you like?
By the way, if you do come up with something you like better, you can make
it your device.  You submit it as a device change, and either have your
old device retained as your badge, or released from registration.  It's
an option which should have checkboxes on the submission form.
(Note that I am not an Ansteorran herald and do not know much about the
submission forms used there.)
