Design rationale

The arms symbolise the dawn of a new life. The field is tierced per fess to evoke the sky in 3 stages: Sable for the darkness of night, Azure for the horizon at first light, and Sanguine for the rising sun. The 7 stars of Ursa Major, in their traditional arrangement, evoke guidance, constancy, and a Dantesque reference, as the constellation appears in the Divine Comedy. The demi-sun in base, gold upon sanguine, marks the moment of emotional awakening, the dawn of love. The scroll motto «Incipit Vita Nova», the first line of Dante’s Vita Nuova, reflects a personal spiritual transformation. The Azure speaks of eternal loyalty, and the silver stars of purity. The choice of Sanguine, both for the sunlit sky and for the scroll and mantling, is also an homage to Beatrice’s dress as described by Dante at their first encounter. All of the above holds a parallel with the bearer’s personal life, which gives this composition a dual significance, both literary and deeply intimate. The raven as crest, a symbol of memory and intelligence, represents the collector’s spirit and a deep inner life.

Small-sized Giclée proof for the coat of arms of Seth Rawson emblazoned, dated and signed by me. I usually employ the Giclée printing technique on Hahnemühle paper, produced by the paper mill founded in 1584 in southern Lower Saxony. This paper is made from 100% cotton, weighs 280 g/m² (sometimes 300 g/m²), and is manufactured using natural fibres and tones. These reduced-size proofs are printed to verify the fitting of the armorial achievement on the sheet, to check the registration marks that frame it, and to assess the rendering and balance of the heraldic tinctures before producing the final print.

Heraldic standard of Marcio Vieira Nastri

Arms [ Tierced per fess: 1 Sable, seven mullets Argent arranged as the Plough of Ursa Major; 2 Azure; 3 Sanguine, a demi-sun issuant from base Or ]; Badge [ Azure, an escallop Or environed by ribbons Sanguine doubled Or ]; Motto, 1^st line [ «Incipit Vita» Or over a scroll bendwise Sanguine ]; Crest [ Or, upon a wreath Or and Sanguine, a raven proper ]; Motto, 2^nd line [ «Nova» Or over a scroll bendwise Sanguine ]; Badge [ Azure, an escallop Or environed by ribbons Sanguine doubled Or ]; Fringes: Or and Sanguine.

It has been emblazoned by me, illuminated with lights and shadows, contoured in Sable, and with a leather finishing.

Heraldic standard of Marcio Vieira Nastri emblazoned by me. Structure: his coat of arms; his heraldic badge; the 1^st line of his motto «Incipit Vita»; his crest; the 2^nd line of his motto «Nova»; and his badge. I usually do not blazon standards; I only describe their structure, since the coat of arms, the badge, and the crest they normally bear are already known as those of the armiger. However, in this case I have blazoned the standard with details from the hoist to the fly. The hoist is the part attached to the mast, and the fly is the part that waves freely and in this case ends in a swallow-tail, although this is an artistic detail I have not blazoned. For the specification of this blazon I use brackets for each of the parts, for example, the blazon of the arms, the blazon of the badge, or the blazon of the crest. In this case I have repeated the blazon of the second occurrence of the badge, but I could have avoided it by referring back to the first. It is unusual to find such a detailed specification of a standard. This standard of Marcio Vieira Nastri, emblazoned by me, is registered and published in The International Register of Arms, 13th August 2026, registration number 0812, volume 5, armorialregister.com/arms-br/nastri-mv-arms.html.
