Forum:House icons and a template suggestion

Hola, everyone. You may have noticed that I recently uploaded a slew of icons for the Houses of Hermes (viewable from MTAhouses). I got all the founding Houses 'cept Diedne.

I didn't, however, add the imagewhitewolf tag, because I don't know where the images come from. They were available freely on several websites online, but I don't know if they're from any books, what books they're from, or who owns the copyrights (if it turns out to be post Ars Magica 3rd, they should be removed). I don't have access to any of the Ars Magica books: if someone could check that for me, it'd be appreciated. Also if you have better versions you can replace these with, that'd be cool too. :D

This brings me to another idea I had... a "design evolution" navigation template. Let's say I go to Image:LogoHouseTremere.gif. In addition to whatever information is available about that particular image, there'll be a small navigational bar showing Image:DATremere.gif as the earlier version of that symbol, and Image:LogoClanTremere.png (and maybe Image:LogoTradOrderofHermes.png) as the evolution of that symbol.

It'd be a neat way of showcasing the ties between seemingly disparate groups, such as the modern Hermetic usage of the Tremere circle/square in the logo, or the Nagaraja symbol clearly having design evolution from the Euthanatos omega.
