I used "Shield5-i" from the Panels & Shields folder in Clipart.
All I wanted was the outline so I used the "Create vector boundary" tool under Modeling, then created an inside offset. Then I created a profile vector for the rounded edge and used the Moulding Toolpath to create the rounded edge. I then used a pocket toolpath to clear out the center.

Hey highpockets I did what you instructed but how do I get the roundness of the edge from going into the ribbon?

Hate to be picky, but your original post was just about getting a round border on a shield.
If you are looking to completely replicate the shield with banner, unfortunately in VCP I know of no way to accomplish that, do to the modeling limitations. However using Clipart you can get close.
