Henzelli, thank you for your work on this draft.
However:
1. Lavalon uses Green for symbols, primarily 2. Where is the Eucalyptus? 3. Why should there be a sun (what is the meaning behind it)? 4. Why should the sun have wings if it's primarily filled with Hydrogen and Helium?
Personally, I like Kieran's old National Seal.
But since we are moving away from all things Kieran, perhaps Jon could re-do it the way he re-did our logo. (Which looked excellent, I might add).

Tell him it's the sun chariot of Apollo. He asked me if you were on crack. That's all he said. I'll admit, it was kinda funny.

Thank you for your critique Xon, but Jon isn't the only one who's allowed to contribute to our culture.
As for your questions, here's my rebuttals:
1. Green is not our only color. We aren't monochromatic. 2. The Eucalyptus was to frame the seal, but I just forgot to put it on there. Don't jump down my throat. 3. I already explained the meaning of the sun. Look it up. 4. The wings are symbolic, as I already explained. And if the sun is composed of hydrogen and helium, then the wings could be symbolic of that. Don't discout everything just because it disagrees with science (which has been proven wrong SO many countless times). The positioning of the sun on the wings was for aesthetic purposes.
Again, Jon isn't the only one allowed to contribute to culture. Culture is communal, not personal.

Well, last night I had an idea... Once again taken off something henzelli did: Maybe it needs some wording or something, like "Republic of Lavalon" in Laval maybe.

I like the new idea from Jon. But, in the words of Xon, "Where's the Eucalyptus!?" AIEEEEEEE! Hysterics aside, my only problem with the new one is that it looks horribly flat....I'll download it and sketch it in art class tomorrow and scan it up after adding depth and shading to it. But I like it. Isn't it great how Jon seems to rip off every idea of mine and come up with something great? No comments needed from the oh-so-great-one. You know who you are.

Well, seeing as none of the proposals so far have a eucalyptus plant in them, my support of them is nil.

What is so psychotically important about a Eucalyptus? Just because it's on our logo doesn't mean it has to be in every little thing.
I motion for a vote for Jon's seal proposal.

I vote NAY, of course, because the Eucalyptus is our symbol, sort of like the Eagle with the USA, and I am outraged at those who think it should not be on the national seal of all things.

we are moving farther and farther away from the "eucalyptus Lavalon." its like the English crown being on the US Seal.

We are? We are?
Sure thing, Benedict.
What is so psychotically lovable about Eucalyptus? It's psychosis-induced "trips", of course! (Just Kidding).
Bye, bye Lavalonian culture! Hello mushrooms!
