Categories: Oak and Tree.

Party per fess: 1 Azure, a Athenian owl Argent, contourné, in chief; 2 Argent, an oak Azure, eradicated, in base; overall a saltire counterchanged.

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.

Coat of arms interpreted with: its semicircular (round) base; the fields enameled in plain Azure and Argent; the saltire of traditional dimension, that is, 1/3 of the width of the shield; the figures outlined of the field and illuminated in Argent and Azure; and the ensemble with a raised-stroke finish.

A summary of the Blog Idtg de Kimon Andreou can be consulted within my section of recommended links. That summary is accompanied by another interpretation of Kimon's coat of arms, with the following differentiating characteristics:

• Interpretation outlined in Sable.
• It includes his motto «Ischys Dia Tis Gnoseos», written in Greek, which could be translated as «el poder del conocimiento».
• With his saltire reduced to 2/3 of its traditional width, which is 1/3 of the width of the shield. In this way, the saltire is 2/9 of the width of the shield. The objective of the reduction is to give more space to both his owl and his oak. This reduction does not convert it into the diminished piece called flanque, which has a 1/3 reduction over 1/3 of the shield's width, therefore, 1/9 of the shield's width.

Vert, on three chevrons Or nine oak leaves Vert, 3, 3, and 3. Crest: Upon a helm with a wreath Or and Vert, a demi-fox guardant, holding in its dexter paw a federschwert bend sinisterwise proper. Mantling: Vert doubled Or. Motto: «Callidus, Curae Plenus, Facetus».

Arms painted by me, illuminated with lights and shadows, contoured in Sable, with a pointed external shape and with a rough finish.

Design rationale

The fox refers to the clever and resourceful character attributed to the armiger’s family. The federschwert evokes his dedication to Historical European Martial Arts, in particular the German school of Liechtenauer and the long sword. The oak leaves have a double meaning: they symbolize nature and spirituality, linked to his belonging to the Order of Bards, Ovates and Druids, and being nine in number they allude to his Irish heritage and the legendary figure of Niall of the Nine Hostages. His ancestry includes Irish, English and German roots, the latter once again connected to the sword. The motto translates as «Clever, Caring, Witty».
