The question is: «Does Spain have a heraldic badge similar to how the British Isles have heraldic badges? I’ve found nothing so far for Spain except the Yoke and Arrows from the Catholic Monarchs»

Spain does not have badges, national insignias, equivalent to the badges of the British Isles, and this is not an absence or a gap, but rather the result of a different historical tradition.

In England and in the Anglo-British world, the badge developed as a personal and later territorial symbol, detached from the full coat of arms and easily reproducible. In the Hispanic Monarchy, by contrast, symbolic weight almost always rested on the coat of arms and on standards, not on simplified badges.

That said, if we accept badges in a functional sense, as a simple symbol that immediately refers to Spain, then the following can be stated:

• Indeed, the yoke and the arrows is a very characteristic symbol. It originates with the Catholic Monarchs and is derived from a crossed use of the initials of their names: the yoke with the Y of Ysabel (a contemporary spelling), and the arrows ~ «Flechas» with the F of Fernando. It is also commonly interpreted as symbolizing strength (the yoke) and unity (the bundle of arrows). The Gordian knot and the yoke are associated with Ferdinand; the Yoke uses the Y of Ysabel, his wife, and the arrows ~ «Flechas» are the symbol of Ysabel, using the F of her husband Ferdinand. It is a badge based on crossed symbolism.
• Ferdinand the Catholic also used the symbol of the Gordian knot cut with a sword, derived from the legend of Alexander the Great. This emblem is sometimes represented alongside the yoke and the arrows, although it was less widely used and less central, and it does not refer to Spain as strongly as the previous symbols.
• Later, Philip the Handsome, who was married to our Queen Joanna of Castile, daughter of the Catholic Monarchs, introduced the Cross of Burgundy into the Spanish monarchy. It was used on military flags, for example by the Tercios. The Cross of Burgundy refers to Spain more clearly than the Gordian knot, but less so than the yoke and the arrows.
• Following the chronological order, we can consider the two Pillars of Hercules with their motto «Plus Ultra», introduced by the grandson of the Catholic Monarchs, Emperor Charles. These two separate columns serve as the supporters of the coat of arms of Spain, and when they are joined and linked by the scroll bearing the motto «Plus Ultra», they appear, for example, in decorations and on the coins known as «Reales de a Ocho» ~ «Spanish Dollars», which circulated across the globe and became the world monetary standard, functioning as the planet’s reserve currency during their period of predominance, occupying the position later held by the pound sterling and today by the United States dollar. These columns, interlaced with a scroll bearing the motto «Plus Ultra», immediately evoke Spain, and would be the most generally accepted badge.
• Finally, outside the royal and historical sphere, any badge featuring a black fighting bull ~ «toro bravo» in a defiant or noble stance will immediately refer to Spain for whoever sees it.

Other possibilities that come to mind are the Order of the Golden Fleece and the Cross of Santiago, both associated with their respective orders of chivalry, which could also function as a badge ~ «insignia». If one had to choose between them, I would undoubtedly choose the Cross of Santiago.

In summary:

• Formally, Spain does not have a badge ~ «insignia» in the British sense.
• Historically, it did have clear dynastic insignias, such as the yoke and the arrows of the Catholic Monarchs, but today they are scarcely usable.
• Functionally, I believe that the Pillars of Hercules, with or without crowns, entirely in silver, as I personally prefer, or with silver shafts and gold bases and capitals, preferably with water at the base to enhance the symbolism of the motto and linked by a scroll bearing that motto, are the best possible answer.
• At present, a newly created insignia incorporating a fighting bull refers to Spain, from anywhere in the world, in an almost unbeatable way.

Azure, a wolf's head caboshed Argent, in chief three monstrances in fess proper. Motto: «Fiat Voluntas Tua».

A mug featuring the coat of arms and motto of Bárbaro Jonathan López Linares, Cuba, designed by him and emblazoned by me. My emblazonment was used to personalize this mug. The criterion is that the tinctures must remain consistent within the same interpretation of the arms. If I paint a version of this shield, I will use a single azure for the field and for the mantling, should I depict it; the same or for the three monstrances; and the same argent for the wolf and for the sacred hosts. But in a different interpretation, another azure may be used, provided that it is azure, as well as another or and another argent. The azure used by one artist does not bind the next; that is why we use terms such as azure, which means any blue except sky blue. If we were forced to use exactly the same azure in every interpretation of the same arms, we would have to blazon them, for example, with Pantone codes or RGB specifications, and that is not what we do. Tinctures are fixed in logos, but not in coats of arms; this is one of the reasons why coats of arms leave much more room for artistic expression than corporate logos.

Grand Laureate Cross of Saint Ferdinand.

Argent, a cross of Alcantara. Crest: A closed royal crown Or, with eight arches, visible five. Behind the shield the Laureate Grand Cross of Saint Ferdinand. Motto: «Hoec nubila tollunt obstantia sicut sol».

Escudo de plata, una cruz de Alcántara. Timbrado de una corona real cerrada. Acolada detrás del escudo la gran cruz laureada de San Fernando. Lema: «Hoec nubila tollunt obstantia sicut sol».

Coat of arms interpreted in the following manner: the shape of the shield is of a semicircular arch; the field is illuminated in metal Argent; the cross of Alcantara, the 4 swords and the 2 laurel branches are outlined in Sable and illuminated in Vert and Gules; the royal crown is closed, outlined in Sable and illuminated with the metal Or, Argent for the pearls, Azure and Or for the orb, Gules and Vert for the gems, Gules for the inner cloth, and Sable for the visible hollow at its base; and the whole has a iridescent finish.

Rif War, July 23, 1921, banks of the Igan River, North Africa

The Alcantara Regiment executed nine successive cavalry charges to protect the infantry's retreat, nine charges until they broke the enemy lines, outnumbering them. The last charge was on foot because all their horses were dead or exhausted. These heroic riders of Alcantara had fulfilled their duty of protecting the wounded infantry in their retreat to El Batel, but the price was appalling: of 691 riders, only 67 survived, and three months were necessary to recover hundreds of corpses.

For this reason, in 2012, the Alcántara Regiment was collectively awarded the Grand Laureate Cross of Saint Ferdinand.

Two lances behind the shield

Since 1987, the coat of arms of the cavalry regiments of the Spanish Army must carry two crossed lances accolade behind the shield. And indeed, this coat of arms of the Alcántara Cavalry Regiment has two lances behind the shield, but in my artistic heraldic interpretation, I did not paint them to avoid detracting from the prominence of the Laureate Cross.

The illustration brings together two different aspects. On the one hand, the photograph captures the moment in which I explain the coat of arms of Charles, Holy Roman Emperor, during one of my heraldic art exhibitions, pointing directly to its components while the audience observes.

Design rationale

The arms of Geremías Reyes Zelaya express the history of his Honduran family: emigration, work, settlement, prosperity, and inherited values. The fess wavy Azure represents the river and the crossing of the frontier, recalling the family's emigration in search of a better life. The three roundels Gules in chief evoke the family's new settlement, prosperity, and involvement in trade. The mount Vert in base represents the family's rural origins, the mountains, the land, and the cultivation of maize and beans. The bordure Gules charged with mullets of four points Or recalls the members of the family group. The falcon Or, belled Gules, chosen as the crest, derives from the armiger's first idea for a personal emblem and provides a distinctive and personal symbol. The motto, «Honesty and Respect», declares the ethical foundation of the family.

The coat of arms of Maximilian Silvestri emblazoned by me. In Castilian, I prefer to use the term «almirez» instead of «mortero», as the latter can also refer to a weapon or even a type of cap in heraldic terminology. The word «almirez» has a unique meaning and comes from the Hispano-Arabic «almihrás» or «almihráz», which derives from Classical Arabic «mihras».

Design rationale

The oak tree laden with acorns Or in the first quarter symbolizes the family's fertility. The oak and the domed tower in the second quarter, in their transformed forms, are elements from the coat of arms of the Simon lineage, which they represent. The third quarter derives from the arms of the Faus family and represents it. The plain cross in the fourth quarter is a symbol of Christ and of Aragon. The Latin motto reads: «Strong as Iron».

Coat of arms depicted by me, highlighted with lights and shadows, contoured in Sable, with a pointed outer contour and with a leather finishing.

This is his coat of arms Vitéz László Gábor emblazoned by me. Per fess is the horizontal division into two parts, and per pale is the vertical division into two; therefore, per fess and per pale in base means that the shield is first divided horizontally, with the upper part as the first quarter, and the lower part is then divided vertically into two, forming the second and third quarters. The heraldic crescent is a moon with its horns pointing upward (to chief); to distinguish it from the natural crescent moon, in Spanish heraldry it is called «creciente tornado», while in English the equivalent term is increscent. The Castilian «filiera» is a narrow bordure, thinner than the ordinary one; in English it has no specific name and is usually referred to simply as a bordure, or rarely as a diminished bordure or fillet bordure. In the crest, fimbriated and barred Or indicates that the border details and grill-bars of the helm are gold, while lined refers to its interior, here Gules.

Canting arms of the family of Paul and Kari Herndon, based on the arms of their lineage, and emblazoned by me.

Design rationale

The name «heron» matchs with their family name is Herndon. This is why they are called canting arms, where an element in the coat of arms resembles or sounds like the name of the bearer. For the same reason, in Spanish heraldry, some García family coats of arms feature a heron, «garza» in Spanish. The motto «Sic itur ad astra» comes from Virgil's , [Virgil, P.; Century I B.C.; book IX, verse 641], where it is spoken by Apollo to Aeneas's young son Iulus, and it translates to «Thus one journeys to the stars».

Arms devised by me, highlighted with lights and shadows, contoured in Sable, with a semi-circular external shape and with a leather finish.

This coat of arms has been created by the family, combining the tower with a turret of the ancient arms of the lineage Ormazabal of the Basque Country, but with different tinctures, with a wyvern referring to the dragon issuing from the port of a castle in the ancient arms of the lineage Lazaro of Aragon. The Latin motto "«Res non verba» means «Deeds, not words» emphasizes the importance of actions over mere words.

G0076: the coat of arms of Claes Zangenberg, of United Kingdom, as granted by the Chief Herald of Arms of Malta and emblazoned by me for this grant. This full achievement includes a crown of Baron, it is essential to emphasize that the inclusion of these ornaments does not constitute legal recognition of titles of nobility by the Republic of Malta; rather, it reflects the Office's mandate to preserve and document the cultural and heraldic heritage of the petitioners. The current Chief Herald of Arms of Malta has clarified in various interviews and lectures that, as the Constitution of Malta has not recognized titles of nobility since 1975, the legal framework allowing the Republic of Malta to register a coat of arms featuring coronets is to treat it as historical and cultural evidence of a lineage. This approach is detailed in the book [Gauci, C. A.; 2023; 145], «The Way Forward»: «Thus, although the State recognizes the coat of arms of an individual as granted/registered by the Chief Herald of Arms of Malta, this does not mean that the Chief Herald or indeed the Republic of Malta are also automatically recognizing any title of nobility used by the individual in question. The Arms are simply the reflection, verbal and pictorial of any honours mentioned in the Letters Patent or Document of Registration». It is under this premise of cultural heritage that the Office of the Chief Herald is integrated into Heritage Malta, the Maltese national agency for museums and the conservation of cultural heritage, established by the Cultural Heritage Act enacted in 2002. In the case of heraldry, it is regarded as intangible cultural heritage.

G0087: the coat of arms of Germano Catanzaro, of Italy, as granted by the Chief Herald of Arms of Malta and emblazoned by me for this grant. «A sea in base», as I have blazoned it, specified in the original grant as «a wavy base», I have translated into Castilian as «un mar moviente de la punta». It should be noted that the tinctures of this «wavy» are not specified in the blazon. In the original painted representation of these arms, this sea appears Azure upon a field likewise Azure, with the crests of the waves heightened by an Argent highlight in the form of a circumflex accent «^». My interpretation follows the model of that original image, although I have emphasized the whole of the wave pattern slightly more, not merely the crests of the waves, so that it stands out more clearly against the Azure field.

G0084: the coat of arms of Heidi Garcia-Bosch-de Morales-de Sola née Adriaensen, of France, as granted by the Chief Herald of Arms of Malta and emblazoned by me for this grant. In this case, my way of drafting the blazon in English and in Castilian is not exactly the same. In English, when a tincture is specified after several charges or ordinaries that have not yet been assigned one, that tincture applies to all the preceding elements concerned; here, Or applies both to the bend sinister and to the inescutcheon. In Castilian, on the other hand, I do not need to state expressly that the inescutcheon lies over the bend sinister. The bend sinister crosses the centre of the shield, while the inescutcheon, approximately one third of the width of the field, is itself placed centrally. A heraldic artist will therefore understand that the inescutcheon necessarily lies over the bend sinister. By its size and position, it cannot cover the triangle or the Sacred Heart of Jesus, which are placed in base. In the blazon, I specify in square brackets the origin of each part of the arms. In this case, the two halves have different origins: the dexter half is familial, indicated as «[for Adriaensen]», while the sinister half derives from a specific grant, indicated as «[granted by Bourbon-Parma]». I use these notes to distinguish clearly between inherited family arms and arms originating in a particular grant.

R0047: the coat of arms of Olivia Zangenberg, of United Kingdom, as registered by the Chief Herald of Arms of Malta and emblazoned by me for this register. In the practice of the Office of the Chief Herald of Arms of Malta, whose grants and registrations are officially published in the Government Gazette, a double coronation is occasionally observed within the armorial achievements. In this case, the coronet resting directly upon the shield represents the personal rank of the armiger (in this case, a coronet of noble as the daughter of a baron), while the superior coronet identifies the dignity of the family to which she or he belongs. The Office's policy is detailed in the book [Gauci, C. A.; 2023; 145], «The Way Forward»: «In the British tradition, coronets of rank are normally borne immediately above the shield, but in other countries e.g., Spain, Portugal, France the coronet of rank may be borne above the helm, not unlike a crest coronet. In Malta some title-holders display their coronet above the shield while others display it above the helm. In some cases, this may be due to the fact that some holders of Maltese titles of foreign origins, opt to follow the heraldic rules of the country which granted the original title. In other case it appears to rest purely on the whims of the title-holder. The Office of the Chief Herald of Arms of Malta will normally choose to display coronets of rank immediately above the shield but will not stand in the way of family tradition should there be a preference for the coronet to be displayed elsewhere in the Arms».

Design rationale

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 arms of John Brady from Ireland, designed and emblazoned by me. To write here his blazon I follow an Irish style.

Design rationale

These arms were created for the descendants of Christopher Joseph Parnell Brady and Estella Amelia Arigho. The design is rooted in the traditional Brady Arms, including those recorded by the Ulster King of Arms in Dublin, while the hound’s head draws inspiration from the Arms of Caneggio, the Swiss municipality where the Arigho family originates, represented as Azure with a brach hound’s head couped Argent, but with the tinctures exchanged, painting Azure where it was Argent and vice versa. The number three holds dual significance. On the Brady side, it represents three generations tracing back to the Drumlins of County Cavan, those characteristic rounded hills of the Irish landscape. On the Arigho side, it symbolizes three generations leading to the Alps, represented by the chevron Argent over a Sable field, evoking the snow-capped peaks of the mountains, a nod to the family's Swiss heritage.

Lema: «Honor et Veritas Semper Prorsus» de sable, con letras iniciales de gules, sobre una filacteria de plata.

Arms designed by me, illuminated with lights and shadows, contoured in Sable, with a semi-circular outer contour and with a watercolor finish.

Design rationale

In Spanish heraldry, the use of bordures is often a matter of personal preference, in this case, the tinctures and charges on this bordure compony are a proud emblem of the bearer's origins from Utrera, Seville, the white represents the local architecture, the green symbolizes the olive groves, and the bull's head denotes Utrera as the cradle of the brave bull, a reference, along with the castle, to the arms of his town. The Latin motto tells us, «Honor and Truth Always at the Forefront».

Party per fess: 1 Azure, a Athenian owl Argent, contourné, in chief; 2 Argent, an oak Azure, eradicated, in base; overall a saltire counterchanged. Motto: «Ischys Dia Tis Gnoseos» written in greek.

Escudo cortado: 1^o de azur, una lechuza al estilo ateniense, contornada de plata, en jefe; 2^o de plata, un roble de azur, arrancado, en punta; brochante sobre el todo un sotuer del uno al otro. Lema: «El poder del conocimiento» escrito en griego.

Existing coat of arms which I have interpreted with: its semicircular (round) base; its 2 fields enameled in plain tinctures Azure and Argent; its saltire with the traditional dimensions of 1/3 of the width of the shield, that is, the width of a bend; its figures outlined in Sable and illuminated in Argent and Azure; its illuminated motto; and the ensemble in lightly beaten metal.

Contourné ~ Contornado

There are authors who limit the use of the term contornado to turned heads that look to the sinister side of the shield. However, here I use contornado in a more general way, following [Avilés, J.; 1780a; page 61] who defines it as «contornados se dice de los animales ú de las cabezas de ellos, vueltos á la siniestra del Escudo».

There is another more specific use of the term contornado for the crescent moon: «bueltos se dice de los Crecientes que miran á el lado derecho del Escudo, porque mirando á el siniestro se dice contornados», [Avilés, J.; 1780a; page 52].

In English, the equivalent term that I have most frequently seen is «contourné», which comes from French.

Arms of the Kingdom of Spain. This image combines three photographs of this coat of arms on the façade of the Ministry of Defence building on the Paseo de la Castellana in Madrid, just a few metres from my office, together with my own artistic interpretation of the same arms. In the version on the façade of the Ministry of Defence, the crowns above the columns do not touch the columns, which I believe is the correct way to depict them, although the central crown does appear to rest upon the shield of Spain. There are more interpretations that place the crowns resting on the columns than those that do not, and I photographed this particular version from the Ministry of Defence because it is especially relevant due to its size and institutional significance. On the arrangement of the crowns: a) Royal Decree 1511/1977, of 21 January, enacted during the so-called Transition and approving the Regulations on Flags and Standards, Guidons, Insignia and Distinctive Signs, states: «Rule No. 2. Coat of Arms of Spain… Accompanied by two columns Argent, with base and capital Or, set upon waves Azure or blue and Argent», «superado» «by an imperial crown on the dexter one and by a royal crown on the sinister one…». b) The subsequent Law 33/1981, of 5 October, regulating the current coat of arms of Spain, likewise states: «…Accompanied by two columns Argent, with base and capital Or, set upon waves Azure or blue and Argent», «superado» «by an imperial crown on the dexter one and by a royal crown on the sinister one». c) The term «superado» in the heraldic dictionaries in which it appears refers, as a synonym, to «surmontado». d) The definitions of «surmontado» include: «a charge which, at its upper part, has another above it but without touching it», «also said of superado», and «a figure that bears another above it, but without touching it». In light of a), b), c) and d), the two crowns should therefore be painted not touching the columns. However, in the illustrative drawing contained in Royal Decree 1511/1977 the crowns do touch the columns, contradicting its own wording, although in heraldry, when in doubt, the written blazon always prevails; and in most official representations the crowns do indeed touch the columns. Nevertheless, this personal interpretation of both the coat of arms of Spain and of the proper way to write its blazon, where the lateral crowns do not touch the columns, and then I decide that, following the same criterion, the central crown should not touch the shield either, so the result differs from the official version.

Argent, on a chevron Gules three feathers Argent, between three swords erect Gules. Motto: «Ab Initio Goostrey».

Escudo de plata, un cabrio de gules cargado de tres plumas de plata, acompañado de tres espadas alzadas de gules, 2 y 1. Mote: «Ab Initio Goostrey».

Coat of arms interpreted by me as follows: with a rounded base; the motto and field illuminated in Argent; the chevron, with a wide angle in the Cheshire style, is illuminated in Gules and outlined in Sable; the swords and feathers illuminated in Gules and Argent respectively and all outlined in Sable; and the whole has a raised-stroke texture.

I have interpreted the coats of arms of the County of Cheshire produced by Martin Goldstraw with my own style, but I wished to preserve part of his in 2 of his most characteristic elements:

• his beautiful garbs ~ gavillas de trigo, which characterise the heraldry of the region and are present in the arms of this county, and
• his distinctive chevron, with a wider angle than the considered standard, almost necessary to leave space for the charges in many of the Cheshire shields.

Among the possible options of motto, device, mote and battle cry I have decided to classify «Ab Initio Goostrey» as a mote because it is not easy to understand without prior explanation. Martin Goldstraw's own biography provides this explanation when he states that his «interest in the heraldry of the County of Cheshire began when it became apparent that the origins of the surname Goldstraw lie in the surname of Goostrey». Goostrey is a small village in the county of Cheshire, of about 2,000 inhabitants, that was already a human settlement in the first millennium BC.

Or, six fleurs de lis in orle, five Gules and one in chief Azure. Motto: «Vade Plvs Vltra»

On the choice of language for the motto

The motto can be in any language. However, as a coat of arms is meant to last for eternity, living languages evolve, and the original meaning of the motto may be misinterpreted by future generations. For example, some words may eventually acquire unfortunate or inappropriate meanings over time. The advantage of dead languages, such as Latin, over living ones is that they do not evolve, and the meaning of the motto remains more resistant to the passage of time.

My heraldic Pixiv wall is Dr.A.Salmeron @antoniosheraldry and pixiv.me/antoniosheraldry.

Pixiv is a Japanese online community for artists. I post in Pixiv 2 or 3 coats of arms per week. They use a strict form to post with many mandatory input fields. This week, they have added a new mandatory field «AI-generated work: Yes / No», AI ~ Artificial Intelligence. In the image, I have highlighted this new field in red.

My animation of the coat of arms of Juan Lanzagorta reached position 33 in Pixiv’s daily Ugoira animation ranking. I am very happy about this, as it is not easy to achieve.

Canting arms of Rex Lancefield emblazoned by me under the directions of his descendant Erik Paul Arnelien. This photograph shows my hand-drawn Nordic scroll alongside the coat of arms in which it is used as a external decoration. The scroll was drawn directly in ink on tracing paper using a fine technical pen and long, continuous strokes, without any preliminary pencil sketch, repeating the design as many times as necessary until the desired result was achieved. The image shows an initial tracing on tracing paper with a second, more refined tracing superimposed over it; this version was later refined a third time digitally, as can be seen in the final rendering of the complete coat of arms.

Argent, a cross patty Gules, cantoned of four mullets of eight points Azure; on a chief Sable, an elephant passant Or.

Escudo de plata, una estrecha patada de gules, cantonada de cuatro estrellas de ocho puntas de azur; en un jefe de sable, un elefante pasante de oro.

Coat of arms of the Registro Internacional de Armas Gentilicias interpreted as follows: with a pointed base; the field in plain Argent metal; the chief illuminated in Sable; the elephant illuminated in Or and outlined of the field; the narrow patty cross illuminated in Gules and outlined in Sable; the eight-pointed stars illuminated in Azure and outlined of the field; and the whole with a lightly beaten metal finish.

At the following RIAG address escueladeheraldica.es/armorial-riag-pagina-1 the blazon of this coat of arms can be found written as «De plata, crus estrecha paté de gules, cantonada de cuatro estrellas de ocho puntas de azur; jefe de sable, con un elefante de oro pasante».

The most common star is the five-pointed one, therefore, when the number of points is not stated five are assumed, so, for example, [Avilés, J.; 1780a; página 27, ilustración 6] on Guillaume in France writes «trae de plata, y una Faxa de azur, cargada de una Estrella de oro, y acompañada de tres mirletas de sable» and in his illustration number 6 the star has 5 points. But when the number is other than 5, it must be specified, for example, [Avilés, J.; 1780a; página 92, ilustración 197] on Oschoven on the Rhine writes «trae de plata, y una Estrella de seis rayos de gules en Gefe, flanqueado en óvalo de sable» and it is for this reason that in the blazon included in this article, in addition to specifying the number 8, the term «rayos» has been used instead of its synonym «puntas».

Iridescent finishing.

This is an example of my approach to writing structured and parallel blazons in English and Castilian. I use the heraldic term «leopard», instead «lion guardant», because I seek the maximum parallelism between English and Castilian, and in Castilian we also use the heraldic term «leopard».

Supporters: Two royal spears in saltire, the dexter per pale Argent and Sable, the sinister per pale Sable and Argent, both shafted Argent. Motto above the crest: «Oruganda Rw'Abahinda» in letters Sable over a scroll Argent. Motto: «Abazira Nkyende» in letters Sable upon a scroll Argent.

Coat of arms emblazoned by me, illuminated with lights and shadows, outlined in Sable, with a vesica piscis outer contour and with a leather finishing.

This is the traditional coat of arms of the Royal Abahinda Clan of the Ankore Kingdom (1478), Uganda, renewed by them under the supervision of Crowned Prince Tugume Salim, and emblazoned by me. The motto over the coat of arms, «Oruganda Rw'Abahinda», means "Clan of Abahinda", and the motto below, «Abazira Nkyende», states that their totemic animal is the monkey. This coat of arms was renewed by the Clan under the supervision of Crowned Prince Tugume Salim, and I have had the honour of refining and rendering its design. Harmonising the European rules of heraldry with African expressiveness is no easy task, yet it can yield great results.

Argent, a crucible Argent, enflamed and on a bonfire hoguera Gules and Or. Crest: A closed royal crown Or, with eight arches, visible five. Motto: «Limpia, fixa, y da esplendor» Or over a scroll Azure.

Escudo de plata, un crisol de plata, llameante y sumado a una hoguera de gules y oro. Timbrado de una corona real cerrada. Lema: «Limpia, fixa, y da esplendor» de oro sobre una filacteria de azur.

Interpretation made from the Royal Academy emblem: transforming it into a semicircular-based shield, instead of its oval shape; with its motto on a scroll beneath the base, instead of surrounding it; keeping the closed royal crown in its place; with everything illuminated except the field which is in plain color; and the whole outlined in sable and with a parchment-like finish.

In this interpretation, on the Argent field, the Gules fire of the bonfire completely surrounds the Argent crucible, to avoid the metal Argent on the same.

To write the blazon for this coat of arms I use the heraldic term «llameante». Therefore, I do not follow [Avilés, J.; 1780a; page 82 and figure 163] when he writes «...y un Fénix de gules sobre una hoguera encendida de lo mismo.». He uses this example to illustrate the 2 fundamental uses of the term «encendido» which is said when «the Eyes of animals... are of a different color» and «also of a burning Bush and the same for a Torch, when the flame is of a different tincture».

Heraldic device designed by me, illuminated with lights and shadows, contoured in Sable, with a semi-circular external shape and with a sealed finishing.

The arms of Kevin Larkin from Ireland and Spain, designed, emblazoned, and sealed by me.

Design rationale

The creation of these arms has been guided by Kevin Larkin's life journey, connecting Ballinasloe, Dublin, London, and Alicante. Drawing inspiration from the heraldry of Ballinasloe, the armiger's hometown, and Alicante, his current residence, the design reflects significant elements from both places. Ballinasloe's arms feature a triple-towered castle, symbolizing the O Ceallaigh's historic stronghold and the area's legal traditions. Similarly, Alicante's arms prominently display a triple-towered castle, making it a natural unifying element for the design. The wavy lines represent the River Suck and River Shannon in Ireland above, and the Mediterranean Sea below. Adopting a traditional Spanish style for the arms aligns with Mr. Larkin's life in Spain, embracing its rich heraldic heritage and distinctive artistic symbolism.
