Trivia: My mum went to [[Godolphin and Latymer School]].
Small world. I went to Latymer, which is why I keep an eye on this article.
"No approval was obtained from the [[College of Arms]] for this new shield, and it is, therefore, unauthorised by the [[Law of Arms]]."
And? It's a logo. Why would it need to be?
Well, I raised that on the talk page, and Chelseaboy (he of the heraldic interests) commented "It is obvious from looking at the shield (which is illustrated in the box at the top of the article) that it is a shield [...] newly formed shields of arms (this is a shield bearing a chevron and a cross, which are heraldic elements) used in England require authorisation from the College of Arms before display".
I wonder then if the logo of the [[Ministry of Sound]] (and probably those of many other outfits) require authorization...
In any case, isn't he trying to use Wikipedia to fix an external problem?
Well, he may be just trying to illustrate a point about the logo/shield; if it's factual, I have no problem with it, even if originally motivated by a dislike of the new symbol.
