Principles
badloBased on conventional heraldic practice, the following premise ensures a meaningful degree of uniformity and distinctiveness of the motifs even at low resolutions (20 pixels is the default width):

is shown instead of more elaborate variants such as 
, 
or .svg){kind=small}
.
Similarly, for Austria: 
is shown instead of 
.
II: Marshalling disfavoured

.
Similarly, for Liechtenstein: 
is shown instead of 
.
