Heraldic emblems

Sixteen sigils for the pa.gf.cx operating system, grouped by domain. Each emblem uses fill="currentColor" for the silhouette and a constant crimson accent (#9F1C2E) for the heraldic dot. Drop-in safe — no external deps, no fonts, no style blocks.

Why this set

Filled silhouettes
No stroke detail. The four originals were silhouettes; anything line-based (an outlined column, a wireframe key) would read as a different family.
Sigil scale
Each emblem occupies roughly the same optical weight — a column shouldn't feel quieter than a wheat sheaf just because it's narrower. Thinner ones (well droplet, lightning) got heavier strokes to compensate.
Thematic grouping by row
Grounds, structure, possessions, practice — so the library has internal logic rather than alphabetical sprawl.

Notes on each row

Grounds — garden, woodland, pool, well-water. Everything outside the building envelope. Wheat sheaf and oak share the same organic-cluster construction (radiating leaf/lobe shapes around a stem/trunk), giving the row internal rhyme. Pool is the one stroke-based emblem in the family — three waves want to be lines, not silhouettes. The crimson droplet above does the heavy lifting of identifying it as water.

Structure — shed, structural, electrical, property. Built things and the systems behind them. The shed deliberately echoes the same pitched-roof archetype you'd see on a deed-of-survey drawing. The Doric column is the boundary case — could equally read as "architecture" or "foundations." Property (key) closes the row because access is the last layer of structure.

Possessions — vehicles, personal, hearth, commerce. What lives inside and moves around. The compass star for vehicles is a small bet — it reads as "navigation" before "car," but the operating-system framing makes that work. Hearth has migrated from "household" because once appliances live under structural and offload under commerce, what's left of "household" is the symbolic centre — the fire.

Practice — contractors, workshop, land-registry, almanac. The least represented row in the current page and possibly the most interesting. These are verbs — relationships and rhythms, not objects. Contractors (crossed hammers, the historic European trades sigil) for the people who do work to the assets. Workshop (anvil) for work with the assets. Land registry (scroll + wax seal) for the legal substrate. Almanac (crescent moon) for the seasonal/cyclical layer — when the well filter is due, when the pool opens, when the mower goes back to weekly use. That last one earns its place because the Steward's Note at the top of your page is already operating on almanac logic.
