How do I design my own Coat of Arms?

Designing your own coat of arms can be a fun and creative process! Here are some steps you can follow to create your personalized family crest:

Choose a Shape: Start with a shield shape (traditional) or any other shape you prefer.
Add Symbols: Populate the shield with meaningful symbols. Consider animals, flowers, stars, or sunbursts. These should represent your family’s identity, values, or interests.
Color Them In: Use traditional colors like purple, red, blue, green, and black to fill in the symbols.
Accessories: Around the shield, draw accessories like plants or animals. In the center on top of the shield, add a helmet. Below the shield, include a banner with your family motto ¹.
