Those SCAdians of [[An Tir]] that wish to show their membership, affiliation or similar may display the Kingdom Populace badges. Anyone may use them to show their An Tirian pride, and they may display these [[badge]]s on [[banner]]s, flags, clothing, dishes, furniture, and so on. They belong to the people of An Tir.

An Tir has three populace badges: badge with border, fieldless badge, and flag ensign. The ensign is not truly a badge and must only be used with flags. [[Herald]]s and official documents may refer to them by their [[blazon]], or written description.

Design and imagery of the An Tir arms/badges have been provided by Torric inn Bjorn, "Artist Unknown" and/or the An Tir Web Team.

As with other heraldic arms, the populace badges should be treated with respect. They represent the people of the kingdom, not just the nobility; dishonorable use or display may result in repercussions. Additionally, certain arms may be connected to vendor rights (i.e., certain vendors may have official or legal right to produce items for sale with the arms). Individuals are encouraged to contact their local or the kingdom offices with questions and concerns about the display and use of the badges.
