LIVE POLL: Coolest "World of Westeros" Franchise Vassal Sigil?
The importance of vassal house sigils cannot be underestimated. Upon the arrival of the Karstark forces from Karhold prior to the Great Battle of Winterfell, Tyrion Lannister states to royal advisors, Ser Davos Seaworth and Lord Varys that the Karstark sigil is "one of the better sigils," and that it "beats an onion, anyway", referring to the banner of House Seaworth.
Which of these shared "Game of Thrones" or "House of the Dragon" series sigils for a World of Westeros vassal house, a minor character or organization is the coolest symbolic logo of them all?

I am converting this poll suggestion to a franchise focused question and answer pool, rather than focusing solely on the original series' answer pool. August 21, 2022 was the debut of the World of Westeros franchise prequel series, "House of Dragon".
Through the first three episodes of "House of the Dragon" the same emphasis seems to exist in representing the numerous vassal houses, both visually and as part of each episodes' story with vassal houses and vassal characters in the forefront and background of each installment. Although, there at least a hundred that have been documented by name in the two series, the "House of the Dragon" narrator specifically claims more than a thousand exist in the realm.
Furthermore, there seems to be a shift from "Game of Thrones" were sigils on character's clothing and items has gained even more importance. I think this is likely being used as a tool to better help viewers keep all the characters and their roles in the story straight. It is a pretty good idea, aside from the cost. It both identifies, simplifies and reinforces the role each house and character has within the larger complex storyline.
Regardless, sigils have been made more important by a factor of ten in this latest franchise series, in my opinion.
House of the Dragon (2022)
Season One Vassal Sigils
(depicted, discussed or backstoried)
So far, some houses have gained greater importantance, while others have loss some importantance in "House of the Dragon" over "Game of Thrones." The shared sigils between the two series seems to be about 90% the same, although some houses and sigils will seem to be new to exiting GoT viewers
