Clear & Focused Design – What’s Included

To ensure a timeless, balanced design and a smooth creation process, this product follows a defined heraldic framework:

Included Motifs

• 1 primary motif on the shield
• 1 secondary motif on the crest / helmet (can be the same)

Motifs may include animals, plants, or traditional symbols. Common motifs are owls, lions, stars, leaves, hammers, wings, buffalo horns and many more. 

Decorative Elements

Ornamental elements (shield shape, helmet style, mantling) are selected from my own established heraldic designs to maintain stylistic consistency and historical accuracy.

Color & Heraldic Rules

- 1 heraldic color: red, blue, green, or black
