Found this proposal for the Republic of South Sudan on Wikimedia commons. In the end another design was adopted.
Below the design that was eventualy adopted at independence:

Re: South Sudan proposed Arms.
IMHO The rejected design is more ... well ... heraldic whereas the adopted design reminds me of one of those pseudo heraldic war gamer site logos designed by a 21 year old who still thinks like a 13 year old boy.

Re: South Sudan proposed Arms.
To me the choice represents the triumph of Arab-style armorial-type symbolism (not armorial per se) over something more African. The first design has a good deal in common with the arms of Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania.
This is ironic, considering that the existence of South Sudan is in essence a rejection of Arab/Muslim control.
