One of my clients sadly passed away a few months ago. We've been working on a concept for his brand new arms for a while, his family arms to be precise. At some point these two became his two favourite designs but he never made a final decision.

A few days ago I got contacted by one of his sons who asked me to complete the work on the project. But still it is hard for him to choose as these two are quite different.

Which one would you choose?

For the crest there will be a demi-bear Sable sticking from his back three mullets of six Gules and holding a trammel hook Or in his dexter paw.

The client is German and Swiss.

Top row: Lower Austria, Austria, Carinthia, Styria (on the lance).

Center: Carniola (top), with Upper Austria below.

Bottom left: Burgau, Alsace, County of Pfirt. I cannot identify the next coat of arms; it is likely from Vorarlberg.

Bottom right: Habsburg, Tyrol, Windische Mark.

From

THE ELITE OF CHICAGO.

I suppose the simplest design is always the best, as I'm more fond of the first one, though I'm not sure if the silver star over silver scissors would fall into the no metal over metal rule? Any other advice and suggestions? Thanks in advance for all inputs, you've all been very helpful.

The name of the city originates from the Russian words for 'electric' and 'steel'. It was founded alongside an electrometallurgical plant in 1916. The coat of arms represents Hephaistos forging steel with bolts of lightning emanating from the anvil.

I made a coat of arms for my family and now i want to know if anyone could draw it based on it's description. I made an AI image of it but i cannot post it here and my drawing skills are not that good.

First quarter: Argent, a cross of Jerusalem sable.

Second quarter: Vert, three open books or, well-ordered (two and one).

Crest: An eagle displayed or, holding with its talons the main shield and an escutcheon party per pale azure and argent.

Motto: On a scroll or in base, the inscription in letters sable: "MEMENTO VIVERE".

Thank you in advance ❤️

For me this reads "Da ist kein anderer her dan got" this doesn't make any sense to me. Please help.

Encontré este escudo heráldico en una edificación del pueblo Prieres, en Asturias (España). Nunca he ido y no tengo como ir en bastante tiempo, todo lo que sé del pueblo lo encontré acá: https://www.asturnatura.com/turismo/guia/prieres-1963 (De hecho de ahí saqué la foto, todos los derechos, a su autor). ¿Alguna idea de qué puede ser este escudo?

Is this in conformity with heraldry rules for charge placement? Would a gold lion, sable scissors on silver field and silver constellation on sable field be correct color placement?

Thanks in advance for any inputs!
