Coat of arms of Edropia

The Coat of arms of Edropia displays two penguins, the national animal of Edropia, swimming past and looking at each other on an orange background. This is the Edropian Penguins and was first chosen as the coat of arms on 13 June 1924.

The penguin was chosen as the national animal after a contest. Everyone was free to enter the contest and submit their personal design for a possible coat of arms and the citizens could then vote for their favorite. The Edropian Penguins won by an overwhelming majority.

Shawn Harrison, the author commented on his design during the contest, saying, "I chose the penguin to symbolize pacifism but also because Edropia has a rich history of using birds in their coats of arms. The reason there are two is to represent our willingness to work together and to coexist in peace, not only among ourselves but with other nations as well. The orange background isn't random either as I chose orange for its rich traditions and deep meaning in Edropian culture."

Orange also appeared in the Flag of the Edropian Empire and has deep roots in Edropian culture, dating back to the Edropian pagans who painted their main religious symbol exclusively in orange. As the Cloacan Empire prohibited the religion, the color orange soon became a sign of protest and later represented the culture itself.
