point taken, I was actually thinking of someting along the lines of Sir Hilary
of Serendip's heraldry. Her's is an "S" the top half of which becomes a
salamander. It's listed in the armorial, I can't remember for sure the
wording. I thought maybe it could go the other way?
So, I looked it up. Her registered badge is "(Tinctureless) The letter S
with the upper arm reflexed into the foreparts of a salamander."
However: it was registered in 1981, what SCA Heralds call "the bad old
days", back before we had any real standards for doing what was period. A
fresh submission that was inspired by this one would not register today.
(Aside: this is why heralds like people to use period heraldry: it teaches
folks the wrong thing when you don't, and then go on like Hilary did to
become a leading light in the organization).
For those who care, the following VERY LONG URL will get you a list of all
armory registered in the armorial with a salamander in it (currently 42
items).
