Azure, in chief a lozenge Argent between two antlers in pile issuant from a chalice Or. Crest: upon a wreath Argent and Azure, a sun Or issuant from clouds Argent, debruised by a demi-stag proper, attired Or. Motto: «In Honorem Dei».

Arms emblazoned by me, illuminated with lights and shadows, contoured in Sable, with a semi-circular external shape and with a freehand finish.

Coat of arms of Elijah R. emblazoned by me. The English term «debruised» is written in Castilian as «resaltado»; I usually write it as «debruised by» ~ «resaltado de», where the charge below is debruised by the one above. It is analogous to «charged by» ~ «cargado de», except that the upper charge projects beyond the surface of the lower one; in this case, parts of the stag project beyond the surface of the sun and the clouds. In English, «stag» corresponds to the Castilian «ciervo», although «deer» is occasionally found instead. When a stag's antlers are of a different tincture from its body, the English term is «attired»; in Castilian I prefer «ramado» to «arcornado». When the animal issues from the wreath, rather than standing upon it, I write «demi» in English and «saliente» in Castilian; «demi» is reminiscent of the Castilian prefix «semi». When the animal is «demi», the animal's default attitude is «rampant» ~ «rampante» unless otherwise specified.

Per pale Vert and Azure, overall a sword fesswise Argent, hilted Or, between in chief a Galician granary Or, and in base an escallop Argent between two oak leaves in pile Or. Crest: Upon a helm, with a wreath Or, Vert, and Azure a falcon rising Or, langued Gules. Mantling: dexter Azure doubled Or, sinister Vert doubled Or. Motto: «Nolite Conformari Huic Saeculo» Sable, with initial letters Gules, over a scroll Argent.

Arms designed by me, illuminated with lights and shadows, outlined in Sable, with a semi-circular external shape and with a leather finish.

Design rationale

Per pale Vert and Azure represents the fields of Galicia facing the sea, with its «horreo» ~ granary and the oak leaves as symbols of Galician nature and of the values of strength and nobility of the bearer. The escallop symbolises the Holy Catholic Faith and traditional and conservative values. The sword represents Justice and the bearer’s studies in Law, as well as strength and worth. The bearer’s motto, «Nolite conformari huic saeculo» ~ «Be not conformed to this world», taken from the Epistle of the Apostle Saint Paul to the Romans, chapter 12, verse 2, expresses his personal view of life. The falcon that surmounts the helm as a crest represents sharpness and vigilance.

Azure, in chief a lozenge Argent between two antlers in pile issuant from a chalice Or.

Coat of arms of Elijah R. emblazoned by me. The image illustrates my three-step process: proportions and delineation; flat colours; and light and shadow. The lozenge is centred in the upper half of the shield. As shown in the proportions and delineation diagram, its centre lies at the intersection of the diagonal joining the dexter chief corner to the midpoint of the sinister flank and the diagonal joining the midpoint of the dexter flank to the sinister chief corner. The width of the lozenge is 1/3 of b, where b is the width of the shield at its base. This width is obtained by constructing the two points given by: 1) the intersection of the diagonal from the dexter chief corner to the base point of the shield with the diagonal from the midpoint of the dexter flank to the sinister base corner; and 2) the intersection of the diagonal from the sinister chief corner to the base point of the shield with the diagonal from the midpoint of the sinister flank to the dexter base corner. The two vertical lines passing through these points divide the shield into three equal parts; this is the same construction traditionally used to divide a shield tierced in pale.

Coat of arms of Promet Restoration, Seattle, Washington, USA. It is a company founded and owned by the Promet family. This coat of arms has been designed by Dakota Promet and me, and emblazoned by me.

Design rationale

Promet Restoration is company devoted to the preservation and restoration of fine pianos, antique furniture, and historic wooden artefacts, prometrestoration.com. Founded in San Francisco in 1989 by Tynis Promet, and later established in Seattle, the company continues a family tradition that began in 1983 at the National Maritime Museum in Tallinn, Estonia, under the mentorship of Ülo Ots, son of the renowned opera singer Georg Ots. Over the decades, Promet Restoration has restored more than four hundred Steinway pianos and countless heirloom pieces, upholding the mission «To preserve the heirlooms for generations to come». The arms of the company derive from those of the Promet family, simplified and adapted for corporate use. They retain the Estonian heraldic inspiration and the distinctive dovetailed base, a reference to the woodworking joint symbolising precision, craftsmanship, and enduring quality, the very principles upon which the company was founded. The family motto «Per Aspera ad Astra» gives way here to the corporate motto «Quality & Integrity · Est. 1989», expressing the firm’s professional ethos and artistic dedication.
