_The following is just my personal opinion, and not any sort of official
statement!_

Generic herald - green with crossed trumpets (you would not believe the typo
I almost did!) :-D

If you are a branch herald, you can wear the arms of the branch you are
representing while you are 'on duty'.

If you want to represent Artemisia, the Kingdom Arms WITHOUT the crown
unless you are Golden Crown Herald (or acting as the Voice of the Crown) is
okay, but I have done the gryphons and laurel wreath as applique.
_That_ was difficult!

I would go with a populace badge, myself, once we get one registered, as
that will be much easier to put onto fabric. YMMV
