Corkonian Eagle

Corkonian Eagle

The Corkonian Eagle was a largely used symbol within the Corkonian Free State where it represented national unity, strength and ability. The eagle was heavily based of the German ww2 Reichsadler, the eagle itself saw heavy usage in all forms of the political and civilian sector.

The icon was designed on the 6th of November 2021 when grandhappy commissioned a user too design a German eagle like icon with the Corkonian coat of arms, it was theorised grandhappy paid 500 robux for this commission, however some numbers would change between 150 too 500 robux. The design was liked and approved of by the then Ceannaire (cork)(grandhappy) who would start work implementing this symbol into most of the group.

The eagle saw less usage over time with it eventually being completely phased out by either mid-2023 or late 2023 where it was entirely ditched and abandoned.
