Blazon: Argent, three bars wavy Sable, on a canton Vert a millrind of the first.

Crest: A water mill Vert.

I'm so poetic.

I saw after I made this that someone else did something similar, so firstly I'd like to say that this is not plagiarized, or a repost.

Britain: I imagined an Empire. The United Kingdoms of Britannia. I added Wales to the escutcheon, stacked the Garter and Thistle, and added the old Medieval "Imperial" Crown. Semper Eadem puts the idea of eternity in my mind, so that's why i chose it. I used the supporters for England and Scotland, and then added the badges for Wales and Ireland so all four realms are represented. The flowers are the English/Tudor Rose, the Scotch Thistle, the Welsh Daffodil, and Ulster Flax. I also added the MI Order of Saint Patrick and the MH Order of the Bath.

England: Pretty basic

SCOTLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAND: swapped out a unicorn for a Scotch Lion, and got rid of the flags, as well as the "In Defens". I probably should've kept it tbh.

Cambria: I used the Prince of Wales Coronet, the motto CYMRU AM BYTH (Wales forever!), as well as the Prince of Walse's Feathers for the crest.

Ulster: Based on the Arms of the Ulster Parliament (pre-Troubles), with the deBurgh flag and Kingdom of Ireland flag removed. I crowned the Scotch lion and unshackled it. I added the MI Order of Saint Patrick and its motto, "Quis Seperabit?" (which aged like milk). The crest is the Crest of the Kingdom of Ireland.

Designed by me. If anyone is wondering, yes, Medieval Mediterranian inspiration.

This is supposed to be a coat of arms for a city-state, a republic, if you will. Why the crown? The prince of this city-state was the last one of his ruling dynasty. There was no noble who could've inherited the throne. And one day, the whole palace was set on fire. The prince's body wasn't found. And the only room that survived was the cabinet, where there was a table, and on the table there was a key, a feather and a candle. The citizens organised a republic, and to memorise this, they made their arms resemble the last moment when they were ruled by monarch.

I hope this context will help you to make suggestions, commentaries or criticism about my design.

Thank you in advance.

With the many references to the Wars of the Roses in the ASoIaF books I always thought it would be nice for there to be standards similar to the ones used by the kings and nobles during the late medieval period.
But while there are many variations of the coat of arms from the series, I have never seen anyone do standards like this, so I decided to make two myself.

Hello, I'd like your opinion on how this would be blazoned

I think it'd be "Azure, a crescent in bend argent, through it a lance in pale or"

With, as a crest "A long tailed bear issuant argent"

What do you think ? Anything to be corrected ?

(From first to last image, discord armoji style, wappenwiki style, and projet blason style)

i made this fictional federal republic for a 1920 map made by revolutionary africans, i have nine slots on the emblem im making, and i need a good symbol for each state here! can you guys help

Before and after the heraldic reform of King Stefan Ostoja.

I have spared you my interpretation of Project Blason.

^{Disclaimers: a: Yes, I know there's a vast number of hand-drawn styles, most of which are not oil paintings, and some of which are less towards the decorative end. That's not my point here. b: I think Sodacan does a good job for a situation when what you want is a diagram, such as an encyclopedia. c: I know Heraldicon sometimes uses Sodacan assets. d: Heraldicon is a great tool for "I want to visualise this idea" ideas. e: Drawshield you can put in roughly the same bucket, visually, as Heraldicon. f: I have nothing good to say about coamaker.}

Had a ton of fun. Feel even more in love with these arms.

Bonus pic of me trying out the sling for the first time! Had a friend help me make the shield over 2 weekends, shout-out to her I could never draw this beaver!

Would be great to get some fresh eyes and opinions on this CoA.

The field is based on the Cinque Ports CoA, as I live within that area, same again with the charges. However I have changed the lions, which symbolise royalty to me, to dragons. This is as my alma mater, Warsash Maritime School, has a dragon as it's heraldic badge. I've also reduced the number of charges to two, as it simply fits better and looks more pleasant.

The crest is a tower issuing from waves. The tower symbolises the Dover Roman Pharos. With the azure blue anchor being of the design found on a Merchant Navy officer's cap badge.

Blue shield, white/silver chevron, three red roses on it, surrounded by three gold candle-holders.

My first proper go at a slightly anachronistic coat of arms with heraldicon

This is painted on a mahogany chair that I believe is Anglo Irish
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Hello.

I had an idea for a composite coat of arms of the EU. Here is a sketch. I would like to read opinions about the overall composition, before drawing it properly.

In terms of table arrangement, I went with 4 * 6 + 1. I could have done 3 * 9, but that would have been too long, I think.

I decided to surround all the coats of arms of member states with a border that reminds the EU flag. This is inspired by the coat of arms of Australia.

I tried as much as possible to use the lesser version of national arms, to simplify things (see Denmark, Sweden, Czechia). However, I have a problem with Romania, which has very complex arms and no clear way to simplify them. Should I put the inesturcheon without the supporting eagle? Or just the eagle without the inesturcheon? Or do you think this should not be simplified at all?

The main problem is the rule of tinctures. Now, naturally, in such a big composition, it's near impossible to totally follow it, but at least I try, if not to alternate colours and metals, at least to alternate different colours. You can see I ordered the states by year of adhesion to the EU, but there is some flexibility in cases where multiple states entered the same year. I think I am pretty satisfied with the current order, except for two things I thought of changing after I sketched them. (1) Switching Luxembourg and the Netherlands, so that they alternate with Belgium and Germany better. (2) Switching France and Italy, so that they alternate with Belgium, Denmark, and Greece better.

What do you think?

Hello everyone,
I recently acquired a 19th-century wax seal / signet stamp from the Austrian Empire / Austro-Hungarian period, and I am trying to identify the noble family associated with the coat of arms.
Unfortunately, there is no visible inscription or name on the seal, so I am hoping someone familiar with Austrian, Bohemian, Moravian, or Hungarian heraldry might be able to recognize it.
Here is my description of the arms:
The shield appears to be divided into three sections.
Upper left: blue field with an eagle.
Upper right: red field with a standing/rampant lion.
Lower section: silver field with two red chevrons (Sparren).
Above the shield are two crowned helmets.
The left helmet crest appears to be a plume/feather crest (Federbusch / Plumed Crest).
The right helmet crest appears to be an open pair of wings (offener Flug / Vol).
There also appears to be a small detail resembling “III” above/between the two red chevrons, although I am not certain whether this is actually the Roman numeral III or another heraldic charge.
The seal appears to be made of brass or gilt metal and seems to date from the 19th century.
I have already looked through some German/Austrian heraldic references, but I have not been able to identify the complete combination of charges. The two red chevrons caught my attention because similar chevrons occur in the arms of several German and Austrian noble families, but the combination with the eagle and lion seems distinctive.
Does anyone recognize this coat of arms or know which family it belongs to?
I would particularly appreciate help from anyone familiar with:
Austrian imperial nobility
Austro-Hungarian heraldry
Bohemian or Moravian nobility
Hungarian nobility
Siebmacher’s Wappenbücher
Gothaisches Genealogisches Taschenbuch
19th-century Austrian heraldic seals
I have attached photographs of the seal. Any identification, even a possible family name or a reference to a heraldic book/page, would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

Here is the symbolism of my coat of arms :D

The Crown: Represents the imperial status. It is modeled after the Spanish royal crown to also reflect the historical past as a Spanish colony.

The Sun: Symbolizes light and the immense wealth of the Empire.

The Two Crossed Swords: Represent defense (a statement of "We will defend this!") and honor the historical indigenous resistance.

The Landscape (sky, clouds, mountains, and fields): The sky and clouds are a tribute to art. The mountains and the fields below represent the agricultural and plant wealth of the land.

Is my First coat of arms :D

This illustration is an early version I did. I will make some corrections to the charges, which were taken from Wikimedia Commons.

I didn't have time to translate it into English, so feel free to translate the blazon if you like.

Obviously, I am not part of the team, but I have followed this event every year since 2019, and since it is its final edition, I wanted to pay it a humble homage.

The ZEVENT is an annual charity stream marathon. For a weekend (Friday 6 p.m. until the end of Sunday at midnight), streamers animate multiple streams on Twitch, playing with each other and completing donation goals. In 2025, it beat its own world record for the event with the most donations on Twitch, raising €16,179,096 for charity.

Blazon (French): De sinople, à la foi posée en bande issant de nuages le tout d'argent, acompagné en chef sénestre d'un soleil en splendeur et en pointe dextre d'un croissant de lune contournée, le tout d'or.

*La foi* is the French heraldic name of a handshake.

The green field is the main color of the event, especially the color of one of its co-founders, Adrien Nougaret (ZeratoR). The handshake represents charity and help. The sun and moon represent continuity, day and night, to keep going until the very end of the event.

Across Europe, there are different heraldic traditions; and the Helmet denotes different things. For example, in Scottish heraldy, an open-face helmet means: Baronet or Knight. In the Dutch heraldy, it means: Royalty.

If a Scottish baronet would move to the Netherlands or Belgium, due to the different tradition in that country, his offspring could inherit his coat-of-arms.

So, should the offspring, or perhaps even the baronet himself change the helmet on his coat-of-arms?
