what elements do you want to input in the shield? so as not to look too busy?

Still thinking the contents of the crest is too heavy/busy, but I love the shape of the crest and the laurel placement....but need the leaves to be more artistic and real looking, less computer generated? does that make any sense?

how about this?

A little busy. Can you make it less heavy?

Definitely getting warmer....maybe refine the leaves of the laurel more (more classic I guess?) and put less action inside the crest, but undoubtedly on the right track!!
