Coat of Arms

Background Background During the Middle Ages knights painted their armor and shields as a way of identifying themselves on the battle field. Out of this practice arose heraldry, a tradition composed of a complex system of symbolism which included shapes, colors, animals, weapons and other objects. Eventually, this practice has evolved into the elaborate family crests and mottos of today.

Heraldic colors Yellow or Gold - Generosity White or Silver - Peace & Sincerity Black – Mystery, Constancy, evil Blue - Loyalty & Truthfulness Red - Military Fortitude, Warrior Green - Hope, Joy, youth, joined to the land Purple – Royalty Orange – Worthwhile Ambition Maroon – Victorious, Patient in Battle

Heraldic Animals Bear - Protectiveness Bee - Industriousness Camel - Perseverance Dog - Loyalty Double Eagle & Eagle - Leadership & Decisiveness Dragon - Defender of Treasure Falcon or Hawk - Eagerness Fox - Cleverness Griffin (part eagle, part lion) - Bravery Horse - Readiness to Serve

Heraldic Animals Lion - Courage Pelican - Generosity & Devotion Raven - Constancy Snake – Ambition Eagle - intelligence Stag, Elk or Deer - Peace & Harmony Tiger - Fierceness & Valor Unicorn - Extreme courage Wolf - Constant Vigilance

Heraldic symbols Axe - Dutiful Bridge - (signifies a governor or magistrate) Crescent - Enlightenment Crosses - Christian sentiments Crown - Authority Fire - Zeal Flaming Heart - Passion Fleur-de-lys (stylized Iris flower) - Purity (associated with France) Hand - Faith, Sincerity & Justice Heart - Sincerity

Heraldic Symbols Horns & Antlers - Fortitude Lightning - Decisiveness Moon - Serenity Oyster Shell - Traveler Ring - Fidelity Scepter - Justice Star - Nobility Sun - Glory Sword - Warlike Tower or Castle - Fortitude & Protectiveness

Other important design details One traditional design rule is that two solid-color fields shouldn't appear side by side unless one of the two is "metallic". Even this "rule" has been broken by many famous and historical coats of arms.
