If I may give my opinion (and I may),
<snip>
No offense, but I personally -- not officially, as if Estencele holds any
official weight :) -- find this style an abomination.
There is a period style for how to dress your herald: dress him or her in
the device of whatever it is he or she is speaking on behalf of (you, if
it's your herald; your group, if it's your group herald; etc.) Quartering
it with the crossed trumpets is simply a gaudy crutch for the heraldically
challenged.
On a side note, removing the laurel wreath from your group's device makes it
no longer your group's device.
I encourage you with all the energy I have to make a tabard of your group's
device and drape it upon your herald. I promise you it will look great, be
a period practice, and gather accolades for your group.
As for a badge, I have no opinion since I'm not sure what the purpose of
having a badge for an individual group herald is.
