[edit] Arabic

The Arabic of this would presumably be either شعار سورية (with 208 Google hits) or شعار سوريا (with 307 Google hits) -- depending on how you choose to spell Syria -- but I'm not sure how much including it would really add to the article... AnonMoos 21:27, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

شعار سوريا would be the better name to choose. This name is used officially in Syria. —Anas talk? 09:23, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

See Talk:Coat of arms of Libya for the Arab nationalist "Hawk of Qureish" and "Eagle of Saladin" symbols. AnonMoos 21:20, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Gallery

Imposing a gallery on the article is somewhat suboptimal, since image display is limited to 120pixels in the largest dimension... AnonMoos (talk) 15:39, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

It was done in a different way on French wikipedia fr:Armoiries de la Syrie -- AnonMoos (talk) 07:53, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] 1960's coats of arms

There's an image of the ca. 1963-1971 coat of arms in "The international flag book in color" by Christian Fogd Pedersen, but due to the particular way it's printed, I'm quite uncertain about what several of the colors were. Also, I'm not sure if the pre-1958 emblem was readopted during 1961-1963... AnonMoos (talk)
