I'll start with talking about my new logo.
My logo is actually a flag is that was used by the Romanian army in use between 1940 and 1947,the monograms,on the corners, belongs to king Michael I,note that this is not the flag of the Kingdom of Romania. The Kingdom of Romania used the standard Romanian tricolor with no other symbols added.

Here is the actual flag,photographed:

In the center you can see the Romanian coat of arms - a big golden eagle that holds a cross in it's beak,holding a sword and a scepter in claws,with an steel crown that represents the Steel Crown of Romania made out of a captured Ottoman cannon during Romania's war of independence,thus the crown itself represents freedom. The symbols in the golden eagle's shield are: the little black and white shield represents the House of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen's origins of the Romanian royal family,while the rest represent the main historic regions that made up Romania: Ţara Românească(Wallachia) represented by the small eagle in a blue background; Moldova(Moldavia) represented by a black aurochs on a red background;Transilvania(Transylvania) that kept the old Germano-Hungarian coat of arms,representing Hungarians,Szekelys and Saxons but not Romanians(who were only a "tolerated" ethnicity and denied political and legal power as a group); Banat and Oltenia represented by a lion on a bridge,on a red background; Dobrogea represented by two dolphins on a blue background.
Stamped on the coat of arms you can see a larger Steel Crown of Romania while the coat of arms is being sustain by two lions(the symbol of Dacia and that of Transylvania in 1600 - during Mihai Viteazul's short lived union of the Romanian principalities).
All these elements are placed under a purple-red pavilion lined with ermine,having tassels and fringes made out of gold and being captured in a closed crown. In the inferior part you can see the girdle of the order of Carol I as well as the motto „NIHIL SINE DEO”(Nothing without God) on a blue ribbon.

Michael (Romanian: Maiestatea Sa Mihai I Regele Românilor, literally "His Majesty Michael I King of the Romanians", name pronounced [miˈhaj]; born 25 October 1921) is the last King of Romania. He reigned from 20 July 1927 to 8 June 1930, and again from 6 September 1940 until 30 December 1947 when he was forced, by the Communist Party of Romania (backed up by orders of Joseph Stalin), to abdicate to the Soviet armies of occupation. In addition to being the current holder of the dis-established throne of Romania, he was also a Prince of Hohenzollern until 10 May 2011, when he renounced this title.
A great-great-grandson of Queen Victoria by both of his parents, and a third cousin of Queen Elizabeth II, he is one of the last surviving heads of state from World War II, the others being the former King Simeon II of Bulgariaand the former King Norodom Sihanouk of Cambodia.
