Coat of Arms

A coat of arms is a unique heraldic design on a shield, escutcheon, surcoat, or tabard. A coat of arms is used to cover, protect, and identify the wearer. Thus the term is often stated as "coat-armour", because it was anciently displayed on the front of a coat of cloth in European societies.

A Coat of Arms or Family Crest has long been a symbol of a family's identity and values. Originally used to identify warriors dressed in armor, each knight chose symbols and colours to represent his family or clan. These family crests or coats of arms have been passed down throughout generations.

However, most of us are not directly connected with these ancestors, or the symbols of yesteryear are not representative of who our family is today. 

You can make your own personal family crest based on the values and activities that are important to you and your family.

Step 1. Investigate these web sites and gather information and ideas about possible designs.
