Holy Crown of Hungary

Logo image: 

My submit includes a little historic touch, the Holy Crown of Hungary. The crown is used in the national Coat of arms and was featured on the forint currency.

The Holy Crown has had a lively history, having been stolen, hidden, lost, recovered and taken abroad many times. During the Second World War it was transported to Western Europe and eventually was given to the American Army for safekeeping from the Soviet Union. It was held at Fort Knox, until it was returned by Jimmy Carter on 6 January 1978. the crown made its return to the national coat of arms in 1990. On January 1, 2000, the Holy Crown of Hungary was moved to the Hungarian Parliament Building from the Hungarian National Museum.

Also incorporated is Drupalicon, the Holy Scepter, the Hungarian national colors (red, green and white) and a reef, which comes from the symbol of the scientific university of szeged.

If you are interested in creating a derivative of my work, you can download the source PSD on my website. Excuse the messy PSD, I prefer to bugger around in Photoshop. If chosen the final will be compiled in Illustrator with both a large scale (added detail to crown/scepter) and limited detail copy for smaller use (example).

SideNote: My family's (Holman) ancestry is Hungarian and I'm excited to have the opportunity to attend the conference and hopefully connect with some roots. Cheers :)
