I've always been a bit meh on its appearance personally. But I liked the
fact that, apropos to Agora, it could be formally defined in a specialized
language:
Rule 2151/1 (Power=1)
Agoran Arms
The escutcheon of Agora is defined by the following blazon:
Tierced palewise sable, argent, and sable, charged with a quill
and an axe in saltire, proper, and in the chief a capital letter
A, gules.
Agora's adopted motto is "Agora n'est pas une fontaine."
[Note (9 January 2009): A rendering of the escutcheon of Agora is at

History:
Created by Proposal 5037 (Zefram, GreyKnight), 28 June 2007
Amended(1) by Proposal 5285 (Goethe), 7 November 2007
Repealed by Proposal 6392 (allispaul) 10 July 2009
The Repeal Proposal beleow was interesting in terms of our conversation
now. It was controversial (6 voters FOR repeal, 6 voters AGAINST, carried
17/14 due to voting strength). But its passage (and the tone of the
proposal) implies that it's no longer our coat of arms, and Agoranomic.org
is actually run by rogue monarchists:

Proposal 6392 (Ordinary, AI=1.0, Interest=0) by allispaul
Arms Anarchy
WHEREAS Agora has graced the world of Nomic with its presence for
nearly 16 years (1600 in Nomic years), and
WHEREAS such a long-running Nomic SHOULD leave behind medieval
trappings, and SHOULD adopt a more modern culture, and
WHEREAS Agora has a responsibility to the lesser Nomics to remove them
from the plagued darkness that now, even now, permeates the very cores
of their beings, and CAN only avail itself of this responsibility
through leadership, and CAN only lead by example, and
WHEREAS nobody even uses shields anymore,
Repeal Rule 2151 (Agoran Arms).
