The textures for the city guards' shields and the hold banners have been completely remade from scratch with much higher detail. They are now 4 times as big as the original ones.
Please take a look at the screenshots which show all the new textures.
Info update: Better Banners will now be a separate project and they will no longer be included in this mod. So far, the banners project is on hold.
Update 29 November 2011: Added worn-out version. Includes the worn-out textures for all the guard shields. Look for optional file under the downloads. Check out the screenshots too.

To get the best out of your visual gaming experience and of this mod, I highly reccomend you to try the Skyrim Enhaned Shaders mod, found here: http://skyrimnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=822 with "no bloom, high saturation" ini file.
