Conflict:

July 2018 - lozenge in augmentation as if independent armory

Wencenedl of Rokesburg. Augmentation of arms. Azure, a hart trippant reguardant, on a chief embattled argent three dragonflies azure, and for augmentation, the hart gorged of a coronet Or pearled argent, suspended therefrom a lozenge gules charged with a trillium argent barbed vert... This augmentation is also returned for conflict with the device of Madelyn Catherwood, Gules, a trillium blossom and a chief invected argent, with one DC for removal of the secondary charge, and with the badge of Marrin von Waldburg, Gules, on a trillium argent three maple leaves gules, with one DC for removal of the tertiary charge. Per SENA A5C4, "in a submission of augmented arms where the augmentation appears to be a display of independent armory, such as a charged canton or a single charged escutcheon, the augmentation must be checked for conflict as if it were a submission of independent armory." The lozenge is a medium of heraldic display, and so must be considered as such a stand-alone display.

September 2008 - vêtu vs lozenge thorughout

>Elspeth Jamieson. Device. Argent vêtu ployé azure, two serpents erect respectant entwined sable. This is returned for conflict with Werenher von Ingolstadt, Azure, on a lozenge argent, a bear statant erect sable. Precedent, set in April 2008, says " While a lozenge throughout must always be checked as though it were a vêtu field (and thus comparable to all other fields), a lozenge need only be compared to a vêtu field (not to all fields)." The converse is not true - vêtu must be checked against a lozenge throughout, a lozenge, and all fields. Since Elspeth's submission can be blazoned as Azure, on a lozenge ployé throughout argent, two serpents erect respectant, bodies entwined sable, there is only a single CD for the multiple changes to the tertiary charges. We do not give a CD for the difference between a lozenge and a lozenge throughout, nor do we give one for the difference between plain and ployé edges on a charge. [Note that under SENA one can now get MORE than a single DC for multiple changes to tertiary charges!]

November 2002 - lozenge vs lozenge ployé, lozenge vs lozenge throughout

"There is no difference between a lozenge and a lozenge ployé, nor is there difference between a lozenge and a lozenge throughout." November 2002 LoAR

February 2002 LoAR:

[Cecily of Whitehaven. Badge. Per fess argent and azure, in chief a lozenge gules.] This submission was originally blazoned using a lozenge fesswise. Because lozenges could be drawn with various proportions in period, including a square set on its corner (which can be neither fesswise nor palewise), it does not make sense to distinguish different proportions of lozenge in blazon.
