@Squiresy92: - I noticed that the thunderbolt in the second quarter seems to have become some kind of bird. Here is an example of the correct form of a heraldic thunderbolt: a winged bolt with flames issuing from either end, radiating flashes. Zacwill (talk) 16:52, 20 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Zacwill: - When doing the SVG, I followed the visual style of the coat of arms that the Tasmanian State Government uses. I'm not sure why they chose that style for the heraldic thunderbolt, but I think it's appropriate for the SVG arms to follow the official government as close as possible.

@Squiresy92: - the flames issuing from the top of the thunderbolt do look a little like a beak, and in combination with the wings I can see why you'd mistake it for a bird. A closer look at the State Government's version of the arms shows that it is just a thunderbolt though. Zacwill (talk) 16:23, 10 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Zacwill: - I see what you mean now. I've fixed the thunderbolt to a more accurate form. Squiresy92 (talk) 09:05 February 2020 (UTC)
