Activity: Create a Sigil
Points: 1st/2nd/3rd/Participation Only: 50/40/30/10 points.
Deadline: Monday August 19 at 9pm UTC (5pm EDT) with voting to follow
Details: Everyone needs a symbol and motto to represent their family! We know that the four Hogwarts founders used animals and "key words" to symbolize the things they believe in, now it's your turn to do it for other important wizards! You may use any HP character for this activity but try not to use someone so minor that we don't know anything about them (I don't think Quidditch captain Summerby would be a good choice, for example). Use the template below to create a graphic symbol and motto. Let us know which character it was created for, as well.

You have a little more than a day to participate! The activity is here! There are only 9 entries right now so I'd love to see some more!

Remember to read the questions carefully. Try using LJ's calendar function to go back as far as you can. I added a more specific date to the question most people were having an issue with and for #10, I'm accepting 2 answers because of some confusion.
