they're heraldry-derived so they're kinda stodgy and formal, there are a ton of different heraldry rules that are mutually exclusive and autists will pick on you if you mix and match even though almost no other recent example cares, mostly just don't overuse them the classic examples are either family name or 1-4 word motto.

They were originally speech scrolls, like ancient comic speech bubbles, before they were picked up by heraldry.

Would it be too tacky/tryhard to use it in a design that's trying to look kinda regal?

I know tattoos use them all the time.

ive always called them banners but idk i guess thats an old way to call them
