The campaign I'm planning with Pendragon will be more based in Late Antiquity than the vanilla version of Pendragon. That means I'm going to be changing many concepts. One of those will be the shield designs and heraldry. I'm using Roman type oval or circular shields for the most part instead of the medieval kite shield. Here's some designs I have made so far, most of which are lifted from Notitia Dignitatum Roman military codex (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Notitia_Dignitatum)

And here are the shields I helped design for the players.

Any suggestions as to what important NPCs might get what shields or ideas for other shields?

zi am intersted in knowing how you created them? By hand or a computer program they look awosme!

All of it is done in Photoshop with several image layers for each shield. Most symbols are shamelessly stolen directly from wherever I can find them on google image search.
