r/heraldry

Recently awarded my own personal coat of arms by the Flemish heraldic council! It was a long, 2 year process of refining my ideas with them but we finally got there - shout out to this community for helping along the way too and the heraldic artist Priscila Van Dessel for bringing the blazon to life:

In zilver een aanziende olifantskop van keel, een schildhoofd van sinopel, de deellijn gespiraald als uitwaaierende varens. Het schild getopt met een halfaanziende helm van zilver, getralied, gehalsband en omboord van goud, gevoerd en gehecht van keel, met wrong en dekkleden van keel en van zilver. Helmteken: Een opvliegende tui-vogel van natuurlijke kleur. Wapenspreuk: SCIENTIA POTENS EST in letters van zilver op een lint van keel.

Would love to hear your thoughts on it.

This is the clearest image I have seen of it and appears to be the full achievement of arms whereas his father's looked to be just the shield and crown.

I went on a Geocaching trip and stopped in Záryby for a few photos. I designed the arms and flag for the town and got it granted by parliament. I'm always happy to see my work in use but I was especially pleased by the heraldic metalwork on the town hall windows!

Depiction of my coat of arms. I'm thinking of a plan to modify it partially or completely. But I need an assessment.

This is a modified version of my family's COA (I get that this doesn't seem to be an actual thing passed down in history, but bonus points if you guess the name). Am I right in saying the blazon is On Dexter Orr, three Red Roses in Row; on Sinister Checky, Argent and Noir ?

Perceval and Gawain are shown to use the same design on their respective shields, this was a mistake in film making but meant that they technically share one design. Lancelot’s shield is depicted without any tinctures beyond its metallic base so it is simply depicted as argent here. Also this serves as a slight correction to my previous post where I showed Arthurs dragon as being Argent instead of Or.

An infographic I made to illustrate how Portuguese differencing works.

For the love of God, no political shite.

A thought experiment exploring what a Faroese battle standard might look like, conceived by Dano-Faroese historian D. O. Vígdá-Rieck under the name Stríðsmerkið ("The Battle Mark").

The central charge is blazoned:

Azure, a ram rampant regardant Argent armed and unguled Or.

The full arms could be blazoned:

Argent, a cross throughout Gules fimbriated Azure; overall on an inescutcheon Azure a ram rampant regardant Argent armed and unguled Or.

Motto: Fyri Gud og Fólk ("For God and the People").

So I looked up the coat of arms of the Kingdom of France during the French Revolution. Back when it tried to be a constitutional monarchy. Wikipedia was the first place I looked in the digital trail. That is when I saw this in the infobox.

I opened another article about the French national arms to check its details. But there was nothing in the page about this particular arms. I tried reverse-image searching in Google, but only found another version of it on Wikipedia as only the shield.

I did manage to find another work of the artist/uploader behind the arms that was similar: Their recreation of the emblem used by the National Constituent Assembly. Unlike the arms, the author made the effort to include a link to prove it was used historically.

My search ended there. Is this a very obscure symbol or is this fake?

My family may or may not already have a coat of arms but we don't have our family tree and are not sure if we are or not related to those who have one in the country of origin of my ancesters; anyway i wanted to make one and i'm even planning to make a pendant out of silver to keep it as family jewelry.

It's not AI, i made it in paint.

Hello! I took into account some of the comments from my previous post and have come back with this! I changes a few things with the torse and chevron.
I should change The helmet. I have German heritage (my mother was born and raised in Germany along with her entire family). I just don’t have the skills to take out the helmet carefully and put in. A correct German one. Is there anyone who would possibly be able to help me?
With the design I have, I also wouldn’t know which helmet would be the correct and proper one to use. If someone could possibly educate me as well, that would be greatly appreciated!
Alls best
