Here's a first draft of a Coat of Arms using before I commission an artist for a finalized design & physical one made. Any suggestions would be appreciated!
NOTE Some of these assets were digitally-made, and some were generated assets for ideas of details to incorporate & placement. Just trying to get a general idea before finalizing a "real" COA. I'm not a graphic designer lol
I've decided from here on out im just going to be making a COA every day until im burnt out, as a bonus im going to be including blazons with every COA I make, so day 32:
Or a trident purpure issuant from base, on a chief enarched purpure, a fish or
Crest: A fish or impaled upon a trident purpure ringed or
Specifically meaning the helmet/skull/sword part. I ask, because I know it's from pop culture, but I do think it would look pretty cool on a heraldic device in real life. Or at least, something similar.
Ok obviously, we are just playing here, so go easy on the criticism everyone :D
So my son has started drawing a lot recently, and finally learning some new words outside of the usual "mom, dad, hungry, sleepy" etc.
He was sick and away from daycare the other day so we spent some time watching toons on my computer and he saw some coats of arms that I was looking at, so I came up with the idea of making him one too, to pass the time.
His two favorite shapes to draw are a circle and a heart, so I decided to go with a heart and a roundel. And since he is a two year old, I skipped the helmet and went straight to the torse.
Also, he guided me on the colors and all of them are his choice :D
Visited Germany in December and saw lots of beautiful cathedrals and stained glass, but this one was my favorite.
If an item has on it a properly recorded coat of arms belonging to an individual, duly recorded by the Lord Lyon etc, (the item also has a provenance which shows it was once in the possession of an ancestor but likely was legally sold many years ago) what is the legal position regarding the item?
I found this pin in Sarajevo a few years back and figured I’d like to know what city it’s most likely affiliated with. Thank you for help or suggestions!
I replaced the motto to Virtus, Unitas, Victoria to We Win, and We Roar since we are the “loudest” section in all of grade 8 plus we were the champions in basketball in sportsfest, hence the words “we win”.
Has anyone some information or should I say knowledge about this Family coat of arms? What does it means? This coat of Arms is from Switzerland dated 1537.
