Cheerful loggerheads at school

 
In our last post, we looked at the 150 year-old carved loggerheads on the exterior of Coleham School in Shrewsbury.  
What’s interesting is to see how the loggerheads device keeps on being updated.
In this instance, the design in the photo above is the current Coleham School version, which can be seen on the school’s current signs and its pupils’ jumpers.  The traditional blue & amber colouring has been retained, though the lolling tongues are gone. 
The faces on the new design are however noticeably more cheerful than those of a hundred years ago, though – one might observe – some of the old heraldic gravitas has gone.
