Digimon and angel magic
There's a group of Digimon, the Seven Great Demon Lords (Nana Dai-Maoh), who have crests, like the Chosen Children from Adventure, but these crests are named after the seven deadly sins. There's a bunch of info on Wikimon... And I see a LOT more has gone up since I started writing this file. Er. Aw, what the hell, I'll post this anyway.
I did kind of wonder where the crest designs came from, but figured it was sourced from wherever the Children's crest designs were from (i.e. Akiyoshi Hongo or a Toei artist). A while ago, though, I was watching Silent Hill 1 cutscenes on Youtube, and was suddenly confronted with the Demon Lord crests on in-game TV screens...
So okay, obviously they're not original to Digimon. Where'd they come from, then?
Lots and lots of Googling, plus delving into my dad's symbol dictionary (awesome book), provides the answer!
Crest says what each Digimon's crest is, and an image of the crest. The images are from Wikimon, and link to there, but are hosted on my own server because I see they're having issues with bandwidth.
Angel is the angel associated with the original seal, with a link to their relevant page on Archangels and Angels, a site on angel magic.
Planet is the planet associated with the angel. I just felt like including it.

 This is what the symbol dictionary had to say about it. Spica's symbol looks awfully similar, too. |

 Envy's entry. Mercurius, you say? |

Metatron |
Earth |
There's really no reason to include this, because there isn't a Demon Lord (Great or otherwise) for Earth, but it just amuses me that Metatron is the angel of it. (More Silent Hill references, yeah) |

| Lilithmon |
Lust
 |
Gabriel |
Luna |
Two lines are present in Gabriel's seal that aren't in Lilithmon's crest. Wonder why? Also, I didn't find anything on her crest in the symbol dictionary. |

| Belphemon Rage Mode |
Sloth

Samael |
Mars |
Hey, Samael's the one whose name gets plastered everywhere in Silent Hill... >_>
 Interesting. |

| Demon |
Wrath
 |
Sachiel |
Jupiter |
I couldn't find this one in the dictionary, either. |
|
| Barbamon |
Greed
 |
Cassiel |
Saturn |
Barbamon's crest appears to be a mirrored version of Cassiel's seal.
 And as you can see, the symbol dictionary's image is mirrored, too. I wonder why the Digimon producers did that? |
I started that back in October and have only now gotten around to finishing it. :B
