The famous lion rampant featured throughout, with standout submissions including Tombot’s - you F.A.Č.R., but you clever F.A.Č.R. - and illuminaqi and Narci’s, both neatly including the red, white and blue of the country’s flag in the framing.
In the end, it was another win for Aegon. And who could argue with that - it was, after all, democratic, and the badge is wonderful.
