Spotted in an episode of Wizards of Waverly Place. I figured it's from Germany but the whole combination bugs me.
Hi,
I found this coat of arms in a certain catalogue. I was wondering whether it breaks the rule of tincture – ...an open book Argent, overall a fleur-de-lis Or. Is this coat of arms acceptable? Is the book Argent considered as a natural tincture?
Thank You for your help!
P.S.: sorry for my blazoning, I do not know English blazon properly
Blazon: Azure, a spearhead Argent, a bordure Or charged with seven cross crosslets Gules.
It's a personal project, I'm trying to study a bit about my genealogy and, while studying it, heraldry became a hobby and now I'm working on a personal CoA.
I tried to work less with symbolism and more with simple charges, even though chosing each of the charges, tinctures, geometry, etc., has a meaning. Hope to hear from more mature members of the community about DOs and DON'Ts in my project.
Edit 1: Correction of the blazoning.
>Blazon: Azure, a spearhead Argent, a bordure Or charged with seven cross bottony Gules.
I always wanted to make a CoA for myself, but always struggled to find meaning, like I wanted to be somehow real and authentic, so I did a bit of research on my family but found nothing.
So I just did this to represent myself, I tried to use symbols with meaning, like Blu and white for like purity, strength and loyalty, the dog is a animal that I like and also the meaning for service and being helpful, he's standing to symbolize dignity and the crown is just a decorative thing that I added, probably to strengthen the dignity meaning.
This is a rough draft, I kinda like it but it's missing something, I don't know if the meaning is on point, I made some research but some help would be appreciated.
Also someone knows a reliable archive/website to search for relatives and past family members?
I need an svg bison supporter for a school project proposal. Unfortunately, there aren't that many on Wikimedia Commons and I don't have the Inkscape skills to make one from scratch, though I have some very basic skills with it.
The style doesn't need to be the famous sodacan style, but it would make it a lot easier to do what I need. With that said, does anyone have any suggestions on how to make this supporter look a bit more inline with sodacan style? Or maybe this is a better question for a different sub?
For anyone curious, these are the arms of Edward Schreyer, 22nd Governor General of Canada and Premier of Manitoba. I think they are very suiting!
