Coat of arms devised by me, illuminated with lights and shadows, with a pointed outer contour and with a texturized finish.

The coat of arms of the Strategy Department of Consultoria.IO designed by Ignacio Perez de Bartolome and me and emblazoned by me. Consultoria.IO is a consulting firm specialized in scale-up e-commerce stores.

Design rationale

Teamwork navigating towards a common goal (lymphad with sail and oars), keeping trade secrets (book with clasps), and solidity in support and growth (linden). The motto «Ubi concordia ibi victoria» means «Where there is unity, there is victory». It conveys the idea that success arises from harmony and collaboration between the team and its clients, working together toward shared goals.

Coat of arms interpreted with: a semicircular (round) base; the field and the chief watercolored in the flat tinctures Purpure and Azure; and the charges illuminated, outlined in Sable, with a very hammered metal finish.

Although it is a university of recent creation, in 1994, its best-known campus is the so-called Hospital del Rey, located on the edge of the Way of St. James and originally intended to care for pilgrims and founded, in 1195, by Alfonso VIII of Castile and Eleanor Plantagenet. The effigies of both monarchs decorate the main gate of the Hospital, called the Gate of the Pilgrims, which is, in turn, the symbol of the University of Burgos.

Regarding the escallop (venera), [Valero de Bernabé, L.; Márquez de la Plata, V. M.; 2003; page 197] notes that among the wide variety of shells, it is the scallop or pilgrim’s shell that is most used in heraldry and in blazons it is named «venera», and that it is drawn with its concave side against the field and its convex side visible, with its ribs vertical and its ears (auricles) toward the chief of the shield, and that when the concave side is shown one must specify it in the blazon as «alzada», and when the ears are in a different tincture it is said «orejada», for example, «an escallop Or, its ears Gules».

Gules, two Axes Argent, hafted Or, addorsed, issuant from the base; overall, at the nombril, an Escutcheon Or.

Escudo de gules, dos hachas adosadas de plata, fustadas de oro, movientes de la punta; brochante sobre el todo, en el ombligo, un escudete de oro.

Coat of arms interpreted with: the semicircular shape; its field illuminated with Gules; its figures and escutcheon illuminated with Or and Argent and outlined in Sable; and with a free hand texture.

At the nombril

A distinctive feature of this coat of arms is that its escutcheon, instead of being overall in the center, is positioned on a point of the coat of arms called the nombril, which, as we learn from [Avilés, J.; 1725a; page 159 and illustration 19] and also [Avilés, J.; 1780a; pages 147 and 148], in «Heraldry, the nombril of the coat of arms, is the place through which the human body receives nourishment in the mother's womb, and in the shield, it corresponds to the point where the fess ends and the base begins.».

If this escutcheon, «escudete» in Castilian, had been positioned in the center of the coat of arms, then it would have to be blazoned as the piece called an inescutcheon, «escusón» in Castilian. In fact, the Norsk Heraldisk Forening uses the English term «escutcheon» to describe the blazon of its arms.

Coat of arms devised by me, highlighted with lights and shadows, contoured in Sable, with an ogee external shape and with a leather finish.

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.

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

The Registro Internacional de Armas Gentilicias, is also known as RIAG, and escueladeheraldica.es is its domain.

It is a private register of coat of arms founded in 2006 in Seville, Spain by the herald Ignacio Koblischek Zaragoza.

Since its creation the aim of RIAG has been to promote the use of personal coats of arms, that is, of heraldic arms.

In addition, RIAG offers advice on heraldic design and the composition of armorial bearings and the dissemination of our coats of arms once registered, as it is a private register with public access through the internet.

The accreditation document for registration in RIAG is received by email in PDF format, it is a diptych that can be printed double-sided and which includes the coat of arms, the flag, the seal and the blazon.

My own coat of arms is registered in RIAG and, additionally, I was able to count on the invaluable advice of Mr. Ignacio Koblischek, to whom, once again and from here, I express my gratitude.

Emblem, two two-handed swords in saltire Argent, hilted Or. Crest: A royal crown Or.

Emblema, dos mandobles en sotuer de plata, guarnecidos de oro. Timbrado de una corona real.

Emblem interpretation with: the two-handed swords placed along the diagonals of an imaginary rectangle, with a 5x6 proportion, like a shield, that is, with angles of 50.2°, between the axis of the two-handed swords and the imaginary base of the emblem, unlike the original emblem where the two-handed swords are on the diagonals of a square, therefore with angles of 45°; the two-handed swords and the closed royal crown are outlined in Sable, illuminated and the whole with a raised-stroke execution.

This emblem of the Royal Association of Hidalgos of Spain has 2 two-handed swords that, unlike usual swords, due to their great length and weight, their fencing must be two-handed, hence their name.

The Spanish word «mandoble» comes from «mano doble», meaning «double hand», and refers to a sword wielded with both hands, the equivalent of the English «two-handed sword».

It is known that they are two-handed swords because the 2 that appear in the emblem have a crescent or crossguard in their iron. This crescent is called in Castilian «falsaguarda» and also «ganchos de parada» and its functionality is to protect from the slashes that the opponent could give close to the blade of the two-handed sword.

Emblemb 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 around the shield: «Limpia, fixa, y da esplendor» Or over a scroll Azure, fimbriated Or.

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

Painted by me with a metalwork finish, with an oval shape.

The Royal Spanish Academy was founded in 1713 on the initiative of Juan Manuel Fernández Pacheco, eighth Marquess of Villena and Duke of Escalona, with the aim of «fixing the words and vocabulary of the Castilian language in its greatest propriety, elegance, and purity». A year later, in 1714, its creation was approved by a Royal Decree of Philip V.

To symbolize its purpose, its emblem with a crucible to the fire and its motto «Limpia, fija y da esplendor» [Zamora Vicente, A.; 1999] were chosen by secret ballot. In some old versions of this emblem the motto can be read with the term «fixa» and a comma before the conjunction, that is, «Limpia, fixa, y da esplendor».

This article is illustrated with my personal interpretation of this emblem of the Royal Spanish Academy, crested with a closed royal crown of 8 arches, of which the 5 frontal ones are completely visible.

In this, as in any of my works, I always consult its dictionaries, almost as much, as the most interesting and specific works on the subject of study.

Within socioeconomic heraldry, I classify the arms of all collectives not included in the previous categories, such as, for example, commercial societies, which may represent companies, their brands, and products, sports clubs and federations, associations, professional colleges, educational institutions, arms granted or assumed collectively, etc.

For example, the coats of arms of universities, both private and public, belong to this category, the former naturally and the latter considering their appropriate autonomy from state powers. In this way, the coat of arms of the IESE, as a business school, is an example of socioeconomic heraldry.

Also included are the coats of arms of associations, like the Norsk Heraldisk Forening, and of companies, such as the arms of Alea Capital.

This category partially coincides with what [Cadenas y Vicent, V. de; 1975; page 119] refers to as «representative heraldry».

Escudo de azur, un libro abierto de plata surmontado de un sol de oro.

Coat of arms interpreted with the following features: the base is semicircular (round); the field and charges are illuminated in the tinctures Azure and the metals Argent and Or, all outlined in Sable; unlike other variants the sun’s rays are not black sino de oro y el texto politécnico del libro es legible; y the whole finished with a rough-paper texture.

For my interpretation of this coat of arms, the text I have chosen to write on the pages of the open book is taken from [Cuena Bartolomé, J.; 1968; page 417, section 2, paragraphs 2^o, 3^o y 4^o], which begins with the phrase «Se planteaba», a phrase very characteristic of José Cuena Bartolomé.

He elegido estos paragraphs porque son de José Cuena, 1937-1999, Professor of Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence at the Technical University of Madrid (UPM), who was my teacher and PhD supervisor, because in them are combined hydraulics, the use of the computer, mathematical simulation models, economic cost considerations, data in the form of time series, the underground, the oceanic, irrigation,... and, therefore, they combine various branches of engineering and study topics from many of them, such as civil engineering, computer engineering, agricultural engineering,... Additionally, as this text is almost half a century old, it is technically historical, no longer at risk of obsolescence, a risk that more recent texts would indeed have.

With the aim of aiding in the study and perpetuation of heraldry in the United States and abroad.

Sable, a lion rampant Or, armed and langued Gules, crowned Or, holding in the dexter a baton flory Or.

Escudo de sable, un león rampante de oro, armado y lampasado de gules, coronado de oro, teniendo en su diestra un cetro flordelisado de oro.

I interpret its coat of arms with: a Spanish base in semicircular (round) form; the field illuminated in Sable; the lion, its crown and its baton outlined of the field, shaded and illuminated in Or, except the claws and tongue which are Gules; and the whole with a lightly beaten metal finish.

Flordelisado ~ florenzado ~ flory ~ fleury ~ floretty ~ florenté

The baton ends in a fleur-de-lis, hence it is blazoned as «flory» and according to [Avilés, J.; 1780a; página 93] «flordelisadas, se dice de las Cruces, cuyos brazos se terminan en flores de Lis».

For a time I distinguished between «flordelisadas» and «florenzadas» crosses depending on the artistic style of the termination, but over time I found that the difference was, precisely, more artistic than heraldic, so I decided to use the term flordelisada in a general way.

Some authors consider them different terms and others equivalent. If they are considered equivalent then florenzadas ~ flordelisadas and, therefore, «cetro florenzado» ~ «cetro flordelisado». In English one says «flory» ~ «flordelisado» and it can also be found written as «fleury» ~ «floretty» ~ «florenté», for example, [The Heraldry Society; 2013; página 6] uses the term «flory» to describe the very arms of The Heraldry Society when it blazons them as «Quarterly Azure and Gules a Lion's Face crowned with an Ancient Crown Or within a Tressure flory on the outer edge of the same».

Objectives and activities

The Heraldry Society of Scotland ~ «The Heraldry Society of Scotland», was founded in 1977. Its objectives are to promote the study of heraldry and to encourage its correct use both in Scotland and abroad.

The HSS (acronym for The Heraldry Society of Scotland) encourages those who have a coat of arms and those who intend to adopt their own arms to become members of the society and also encourages to join all those interested in Scottish heraldry, therefore the HSS admits and has members from all over the world.

The HSS holds active and regular meetings throughout the year and organizes conferences and visits to places of historical and heraldic interest, both within Scotland and in other countries.

Online content

They also maintain and update a website, whose domain is Heraldry-Scotland.co.uk, with interesting and abundant reading material, among which their list of online armorials with blazons in English stands out, among which the following armorials can be highlighted:

• Sir David Lindsay's Armorial from 1542, with 504 coats of arms and identification letters «DL», from «DL001» to «DL504». Includes imaginary coats of arms, for example, that of «DL011» of Hector of Troy which it imagines as «Sable, two lions combatant Or», which [Avilés, J.; 1725a; page 7] blazons with a Gules field, this difference would allow tracing the sources of each author, which would be interesting as it is, moreover, imaginary.
• Hamilton Armorial, from 1560, with 82 coats of arms they say, although only 79 appear, and identification letters «HM», from «HM001» to «HM079», where for example, «HM001» is the arms of Scotland «Or, a lion rampant Gules armed and langued Azure within a double tressure flory counter-flory Gules» and «HM026» is the insignia of Scotland «Or, a lion rampant within a double tressure flory counter-flory Gules».
• Queen Mary's Roll from 1562, with 204 coats of arms and identification letters «QM». from «QM001» to «QM204».
• Forman's Armorial from 1563, with 258 coats of arms they say, although only 247 appear, and identification letters «FAL», that is, from «FAL001», the arms of Scotland, to «FAL247».
• Slains Armorial from 1565, with 712 coats of arms they say, although only 638 appear, and identification letters «SL», that is, from «SL001» to «SL638».
• Armorial of Sir David Lindsay of the Mount, Secundus from 1599, with 285 coats of arms and identification letters «DLS».
• Seton Armorial from 1599, with 422 coats of arms and identification letters «SN», from «SN001» to «SN422».
• Dunvegan Armorial estimated to be around 1600, with 282 coats of arms they say, although only 52 appear, and identification letters «DV», only 2 digits and without leading zeros, from «DV1» to «DV52».
• Kings and Nobilities Arms, 2^nd volume from 1638, with 111 coats of arms and identification letters «KNB», from «KNB001», the arms of the King of Scotland, to «KNB111».
• Nisbet's A System of Heraldry published in 1722, with 2,608 coats of arms, according to my count, and which I reference as [Nisbet, A.; 1722], 1^st edition and [Nisbet, A.; 1816], for a later one that I have available. On the same page appears the blazon of Alexander Nisbet himself, in entry 1,926 according to my calculations, as «Argent, three boars' heads erased Sable within a bordure invected Gules», that is, «Argent: three boars' heads erased Sable; a bordure invected Gules» where «invected» ~ «acanalado» as opposed to «engrailed» ~ «angrelado».

I also find very interesting, for example, their pages on the basic principles of heraldic design, written by Doctor Patrick Barden.

Emblem Azure, Saint Michael Argent, vested and nimbed Or, grasping in his dexter hand a spear Or, point downward, and in his sinister hand bearing [ Gules, a chain orlewise, crosswise, and saltirewise Or, charged in the fess point with an emerald Vert, of Navarre ], upon a dragon Vert, armed, langued, fanged, and the eyes Gules. Motto: «Universitas Studiorum Navarrensis».

Emblema de azur, un San Miguel de plata, vestido y nimbado de oro, teniendo en su diestra una lanza de oro, con la punta hacia abajo y en su siniestra trae [ escudo gules, una cadena puesta en orla, en cruz y en sotuer de oro, cargada en el centro de una esmeralda de sinople, de Navarra ], sostenido por un dragón de sinople, armado, lampasado, fierezado y encendido de gules. Divisa: «Universitas Studiorum Navarrensis».

Emblem interpreted as follows: oval in shape and more rounded than the original; the field illuminated in Azure; its charges illuminated in Gules, Vert, Argent, and Or, and outlined in Sable; the emerald represented by an enameled area Vert; and the whole emblem has a parchment-like finish.

The archangels Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael are angels; therefore, I classify this emblem both under the category archangel and under angel, while Saint Michael himself is represented in it as a male figure.

Saint Michael the Archangel, in this representation, bears a shield which, at first, I blazon as the current coat of arms of Navarre, chains of gold, the original arms of Navarre being as blazoned in the armorial [Urfé; 15^th century; folio 142]: «Gules, a carbuncle Or pommelly, illuminated Vert in the centre in the manner of an emerald». This description does not suggest the presence of chains, but rather the rays of a carbuncle, nor an actual emerald, since what corresponds to the central umbo from which the rays of the carbuncle emerge is enameled Vert.

Due to my way of painting the arms of Navarre in profile, it stands halfway between a carbuncle and chains, with the outer links round like those of a chain, the central ones long like the rays of a carbuncle, and in the centre I have not drawn an emerald, but an enameled area Vert «in the manner of an emerald».
