Disclaimer: Here is a blend of Original Tolkien creations (aka my best efforts at recreating the author’s drawing), modifications on the original, and designs completely from cloth. Previous Entries can be found under the sigil tag. Please credit if use.
Notes:
Yes, I'm reposting these once more. Because if people in the Silmarillion/Tolkien fandom continue to use them, I want nice official links to them. And so another crosspost from tumblr project is born.
Two Tolkien Originals today.
Eärendil on the right has the solely vertical symmetry of human sigils (look at the moon phases). In the center is the Star of the Silmaril, which is different from the version on the Doors of Moria, which is supposed to be the Fëanorian Silmaril star- which gets annoying because there are several different renditions of ‘star’ or 'Silmaril as star’ even on Fëanor’s sigil that I just end up using which star fits the design. The blues are good for the ocean, and better as the upper airs of the atmosphere. Like the device for his mother, Idril, there are actually 12 points along the perimeter of the circle, though you could argue none touch the edges of the logenze.
Speaking of which, then we have Ereinion Gil-galad, nicknamed such for the glittering stars on his shield and of which his sigil invokes. Eight of them touching the edges, twelve in total, as befitting a king. And Reason #3 for why I personally place Gil-galad as Fingon’s son is that the blue and silver of this sigil matches Fingolfin and kin, not Finarfin and kin. The first two reasons involve Finduilas.
In order:
