Coat of Arms: Steiermark

I had already posted this before, hadn't I—my rebranding of the coat of arms of the Austrian federal state where I live: Steiermark.

On the left is my rebrand; at the top right, the current official version; and at the bottom left, a early version from around 1340.

Incidentally, the heraldic animal—a panther—is not a panther in the literal sense, but a mythical creature. It has a horse's head, a lion's mane, a lion's tail, bull's horns, and claws. Originally, the panther breathed fire—a feature symbolizing strength and defensive prowess. I swapped the fire for a piping-hot espresso, and the mythical panther creature for my favorite cartoon panther.
