3 lions

[DS Designs]

Hi all

I have been asked to use the 3 lions logo on a design, I know the English football 3 lions logo is copyrighted by Umbro (don't ask me how lol), but not sure if this one is or not?. I'm presuming not as I understand it's Richard the 1st crest, can anyone clarify this please

Cheers

Dave

The arms on the second Great Seal of King Richard I, used by his successors until 1340: three golden lions passant guardant, on a red field.

So that answers whose crest it is and I would therefore think it was fine to use (unless the Royal Family has some regulatory restriction)

Thanks for that....

Thanks for that....

Also the England cricket teams logo is 3 lions albeit with a crown - so those 3 lions do get about a bit it seems.

The Dorset coat of arms has three red lions with a fleur de lys at the bottom. The lions on the England badge are technically leopards according to heraldic positioning.

Scotty is correct, they are leopards, it was a question on QI recently when Frank Skinner was there

Well useful information but never heard of Richard the Leopard heart lol

Pretty sure he thought they were lions on his crest :biggrin:
