Default Blues and Royals Arm Badges

Are standards slipping?

I have posted attachments showing two Blues and Royals Arm Badges. The first is one of the initial issue showing a very good representation of an Imperial Eagle, a sleek bird of prey.

The second is that of today's Arm Badge. the bird of prey has flown and we are left with something that looks rather comical, an Imperial pigeon and totally unlike the original Royals' eagle.

Where has this gone wrong? Who is responsible for scrutinising the maintenance of standards and why hasn't it been done in this case?
