You are welcome to take any of the images I have created and use them

Whether for fun or profit, I don't mind (although, if the latter, a
consideration would be nice -- just contact me).
All I ask is that the source be properly attributed.
Thank you.

Andreas Skau chose the original colours based on the symbolism they represented -- Azure (blue) for peace and sincerity: commitment to the monastery, profession, and mission; Argent (white or silver) for loyalty and truth: recovery -- then used a pale ordinary (military strength and fortitude) with his 230V wavy etherkiller design counterchanged on that field. His Reference. I then made the 110V plug and merged it with Andreas' etherkiller to create the North American heater shield.
When creating my own shield, I deferred to the historical use of the bend sinister -- no longer used in this manner -- to reflect our illigitimacy (or bastardness) as well as to benefit from the play on words that such a blazon would provide. My bibliography.
The blazon for each were written. I then created the riband and applied it to my design and to Andreas' design (with his permission) to complete the Coats of Arms seen here. It was a simple matter to translate each design to their respective standards.

Thanks to my eloquent friend, Geoff Kinnel, who polished up my blazons.
Here is an approximate change history.
