Here are a number of concepts posted to the original project forums for Heraldry for the Mod.
Note that the old structure of city development does not currently
apply. Cities are going to be open to regular claims, so concept art
for heraldry is not restricted to approval by the city leader at this
time. (As we assign cities and other regions for claiming this will
change, of course. 
)
Currently, we have some tentative ideas that carry over from the old project in that:
- Gyssar would like to continue developing Daggerfall
- I would like to keep work going on Jehanna (However, I am willing to
consider turning over my concept work on the city and develop another
location, if anyone else shows the desire and dedication)
- Tabber42 has asked if he can work on Wayrest
The screen shots below cover the following locations or factions:
1. Daggerfall: Not yet finalized and approved by Gyssar who was developing that city.
2. Evermore: finalaized for DarkAsmodeus who was developing that city in the first HR incarnation.
3. Jehanna: Finalized for my development of the city.
4. The Knights of the Raven Faction: Not yet developed in either incarnation of the mod.
5. Wayrest: Finalized for Hraf who was developing that city in the first HR incarnation.
We still need Heraldry for Camlorn, Shornhelm, Northpoint and
Orsiunium, just to start with. If anyone has something to contribute
here, please do so, by all means! Do your best to see if there is any
lore to draw from, but since many of these places don't have a lot that
is specific, you may well have creative freedom. Braggi has attached these images (downsized versions):

Well, here's a few ideas on some of the art and such:
Shornhelm is inhabited by the defenders of Andorak Septim (son of
Katariah Ra'athim, Dunmer consort to 'The Mad King' Pelagius (but not
the Mad Kings son, a new consort)), who's descendants now run it, since
it was the outcome of a peace treaty for the war for the throne against
his cousin (gotta love how close these families are). So maybe it would
have something do do w/ that (of just look Imperial'ish opposed to the
normal High Rock stuffs)
Orsinium is run by Orcs, and them being fairly brutish (despite their
kings political genius), wouldn't it look sort of rag-tag and some
depiction of a battle won or something.
Camlorn has the march of beauty (basically a bunch of prostitutes get
dressed up fancy and parade the town), also take into account its
position, its right by the mountains (north of it), and is probably in
some sort of a ravine or meddow sort of deal (not great in looking at
maps, so correct me if I'm wrong), so it could have something to do
with all that.
Now Northpoint, it would be pretty freezing there, lots of ice, snow,
and the like (the people would have to be crazy or very resilient to
live there), so the flag would be proclaiming their dominance over the
area (focusing more on the resilient part 
, who wants to proclaim they're crazy), my thoughts would be like, tools, furs, stuff that you'd use in that situation
Hope this helps, and keep in mind, although I do draw from certain lore
and placements for some of it, these are merely suggestions

since this is heraldry, I'm not too fond of the cast shadow. Logos are
usualy flat, especialy if they have to be reproduced. it is much easier
to copy a flat logo onto shields, banners, etc. then it is one with
shading.
