Vert, on three chevrons Or nine oak leaves Vert, 3, 3, and 3. Motto: «Callidus, Curae Plenus, Facetus».

Escudo de sinople, tres cabrios de oro cargados de nueve hojas de roble de sinople, 3, 3 y 3. Lema: «Callidus, Curae Plenus, Facetus».

Arms depicted by me, illuminated with lights and shadows, outlined in Sable, with a pointed outer contour and with a rough finishing.

Coat of arms of Jason Landers Northam from Illinois, emblazoned by me. The «cabrio» is «chevron». The Diccionario de la Lengua Española, [Real Academia Española; 2014], in the 3^rd definition of «cabrio», states: «m. Heráld. Honourable ordinary, in the form of a half saltire, whose point extends to the center of the chief and appears as an open compass». It gives as a synonym «chebrón», which interestingly is spelled with «b», although it is also accepted with «v», that is, «chevrón», and the definition of «chebron (chevron)» refers back to «cabrio», considering «cabrio» the main term. For this reason I use «cabrio» instead of «chevrón», just as I use «sotuer», see the definition of «chevron» as a half «sotuer», instead of «aspa». In English the term «chevron» is used, and for its diminished version «chevronel», while in Spanish the heraldic term for the diminished version is «tenaza». In English the same root is used for «chevron» and its diminished version «chevronel», while in Spanish «cabrio» and «tenaza» have different origins, the latter visually referring to the tool for gripping and cutting that bears the same name.

Argent, a lion passant Gules, grasping a Celtic cross Sable in its dexter forepaw, on a chief Vert, a mural crown with five visible oak leaves Argent. Motto: «Protect with Honour and Integrity» Sable, with initial letters Gules, over a scroll Argent.

Escudo de plata, un león pasante de gules, teniendo en su diestra una cruz celta se sable, en un jefe de sinople, una corona mural con cinco hojas de roble visibles de plata. Lema: «Protect with Honour and Integrity» de sable, con letras iniciales de gules, sobre una filacteria de plata.

Arms designed by me, highlighted with lights and shadows, outlined in Sable, with a pointed external shape and with a leather finish.

Design rationale

This coat of arms is a distillation of personal heritage and regional identity. The lion passant and the tinctures Gules and Argent are inspired by the Nolan arms; he is married to Dymphna, née Nolan. The oak leaves on the mural crown are derived from the Durkan arms. The Gules represents the ancient bloodline of the Durkan family in this part of Connacht. The colours Gules and Vert reflect the colours of County Mayo, where he was born. Argent, present in both the Durkan and Nolan arms, also evokes the swans on the lakes near the family homestead in County Mayo. The Celtic cross refers to Mayo Abbey, a nearby 7^th-century monastic site traditionally linked to St. Colmán, close to Rathnacreeva. The circular stone structure of the mural crown represents Rathnacreeva, a ringfort, he was born in County Mayo to Bob Durkan and Bernie Flynn of Rathnacreeva. They are 5 brothers, the mural crown bears 5 oak leaves joined at their base through the stones of the crown, symbolising the 5 brothers and their connection. The mural crown symbolises civic authority and recalls both Dublin Castle, the former headquarters of An Garda Síochána, where the armiger served as a Garda, and also the dry-stone walls of the west of Ireland. The motto «Protect with Honour and Integrity» encapsulates the ideas of governance, duty, and moral authority.

Design rationale

The wildman represents Silvanus, the Roman god of the countryside, as a canting reference to his surname, Silvestri. The god holds a chemistry book to symbolize the bearer and his PhD in chemistry. The oak club represents the bearer's family, as well as strength, honor, and wisdom.
