Coat of Arms Design Studio Updated

The Coat of Arms Design Studio was recently updated with two new major Pro version features. If you’re not familiar with the program, it is another tool from Inkwell Ideas that allows you to create a coat of arms in an easy, visual process.  It has hundreds of built-in graphics for creatures, symbols and ordinaries.  Of course it also has divisions and other objects can be children of particular divisions which allows for different ways of marshaling (joining two parents’ designs into a new design) the shield. Like Hexographer and Dungeonographer, it has a free version which is the same code but holds back a few features.

Here is a summary of the new features:

  • Several new shield shapes were added.  (The free version lets you choose between a traditional shield, a lozenge and a plain rectangle.)
  • SVG images may now be imported.  Like other images which may be imported in the pro version, they may be re-sized and re-positioned.  However, the imported SVG images may also be re-colored using the software’s color selectors just like other graphics that are built into the software.
