Funk coat of arms

Sign in to disble this ad
Hello, TB.

So, I was reading up for my German Language exams and among other things there was an exercise to come up with (fictional) adresses for different people, and as an example there was a man named Jens Funk.
First, I think this name is and Epic Win, because with a name like this you would never have a problem with naming you band. Just picture an album like "Jens Funk - The Greatest hits" or something, insta hit.
Second, I started to wonder and went to google the name. Guess what, there is a real man named Jens Funk, Prof Dr. Jens Funk. I mean, his colleagues have to call him Professor Funk everyday, and if he gigged could introduce himself to the crowd as Doctor Funk. Awesome.
And third, there is an actual Coat of Arms for the family of Funk.
I don`t know what else you`re gonna do if you have a shield with Funk coat of arms, because you have already breaked the awesome-meter. I just don`t know.

Confused,
Clayman.

That's a pretty good-looking design, too!



Good tattoo, album cover, etc.

Funk Family position on Evan's Awesome-O-Meter:

9.9/10.

Only reason it isn't breaking my scale is that I'm not part of the family...yet!

There was a man that lived three doors down from me when I was growing up named Funk. He raised birds, including peacocks and, yes, chickens.

Guess they were the Funky Chickens!
