Tabbards - no seal of Akatosh? Are more icons coming?

ItsGlaive

I'm a bit surprised the Seal of Akatosh wasn't included in the guild tabbard creation, it's such a well known symbol. Are there any more icons coming to the tool? Could this one be added in?

Not sure what you're referring to as the "Seal of Akatosh"; is that the standard dragon symbol of the Empire? There's something a bit like it in the animals set.
There is also a specific "Akatosh" crest: it's the hourglass with wings, looks a bit like this:
and then there's the Imperial racial icon which is like your profile avatar, looks a bit like this:

Yep the dragon one (the seal of akatosh). I'd have thought it was an obvious choice for ZOS to include but guess it's only obvious if you've already got it in mind

The 'dragon' symbol that looks a bit like it is a phoenix I think, it also looks pretty terrible.

Notice that no Imperial banners have it? It is the Akatosh "Dragon" symbol merged with the Empire's Red Diamond, and I am pretty sure it is an artifact of the Septim dynasty, which hasn't happened yet. The Empire is still just using the Diamond, and one presumes the Akatosh Chantry is just using the Dragon, or the hourglass version. Once Tiber Septim arises to reunite the Empire, he will presumably modify the Imperial Signet to emphasis that he is Dragonborn.

Above is listed as the Seal of Akatosh, but most people will think it's the symbol for the Empire or the Elder Scrolls.

Did the seal not come about with the creation of the amulet of kings? I'm a bit of a newbie on Elder Scrolls lore

I presume they save this kind of a signet for a special occasion.
Unique signets as rewards for special achievements.
There are many other signets to choose from

there's not THAT many charges tbh (why do they call them crests, that is not the correct term.)

I am hoping they will release more with time. They could really just lean on rl heraldry and add hundreds from that alone.

Yep but the problem I guess (which is of my own making really) is that as the IMPERIAL Trading Company, we're kind of limited if we want a tabard at all relevant to our name and brand (our logo actually includes the Seal of Akatosh), it leaves us with the Diamond and not a lot else.

Thanks for the help and info though guys, appreciate it.
