Sigils For All!

It feels like sigil-mania right now on the internet in the wake of the Game of Thrones Season 3 premiere. Seriously, every time we open one of our favorite websites, someone has done a sigil version of something, to the nerdy delight of all.

Soccer blog The Fifth Pitch has taken the six of the makor Premier League football clubs and given them their own GOT-style sigils, complete with mottos, their in-universe counterparts, and the reasoning behind the choices. Naturally, we favour Liverpool:


The Fifth Pitch sees them as akin to House Targaryen, with the motto being "a playful attempt to make fun of Liverpool's obsession with their history (and subsequently their claim to success.)" Far enough, guys, but we have this to say in response:


And there is no arguing with Captain Fantastic.

Be sure to click here and see what The Fifth Pitch make of Chelsea, Manchester United, Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspurs, and Manchester City. They get into the real nitty gritty of both the GOT universe and the football world to explain their choices, and we have the hugest internet crush on them right now.

But football not your thing? We got you. How about some custom sigils for Google, Wikipedia, Tumblr, Twitter, Facebook, and Reddit, just to name a few?

As far as the GOT series itself, Latte has dived right into it and has watched the first few eps of Season 1. Mocha doesn't know whether to read the books first or watch the show, but she's probably going to end up watching the show.

And for the record, we'll probably start calling ourselves "House Halfie" in a few weeks. Need to think of a motto, though...
