Tried my hand at a Standard

So, Clan Cochrane doesn't have a Standard and the Chief told us to give it a go and see what we come up with. So, not knowing much about Standards except what I've read, I gave it a go. Here it is....I'd love to hear some feedback.

I see nothing wrong with that at all - well done!

Now of course the Chief will have to petition the Court of the Lord Lyon if he wishes to use this standard in Scotland, which means Lord Lyon might opt for something different.

Nonetheless, it looks great.

Yea, he said he would have to petition the Lyon...but was interested in seeing some creative designs, so I thought what the heck.

Deep respect and admiration for a lot of skilful and creative work. Reservations? A little busy to my untrained eye. Is there a straightforward way to simplify it?

Looks good to me. Well done.

I might only comment that the standard is not that of "Clan Cochrane" but rather of The Rt. Hon. Iain Cochrane, Earl of Dundonald.

Sorry slip of the key stroke....yes it is Lord Dundonald's Standard and it is very honorable that he is allowing his Commissioners a hand in designing it...once approved and registered it can then be used a HQ flag at the games.
