Family of Paul and Kari Herndon

Argent, a heron volant Azure, beaked and membered between three escallops Sable. Motto: «Sic itur ad astra».

Escudo de plata, una garza volante de azur, picada y membrada, acompañada de tres veneras todo de sable. Lema: «Sic itur ad astra».

Coat of arms interpreted by me, highlighted with lights and shadows, outlined in Sable, with a pointed external shape and with a rough finishing.

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 Aeneid IX 641, where it is spoken by Apollo to Aeneas's young son Iulus, and it translates to «Thus one journeys to the stars».

Gregorio Lanzagorta Llaguno, plain tincture

Azure, a seagull volant Argent, carrying in its feet a sheaf of tobacco proper, bound Gules.

Arms painted by me, in flat tinctures, outlined in Sable, with a semi-circular outer contour and with a texturized finishing.

The coat of arms of Gregorio Lanzagorta Llaguno, harbor of San Blas, and cigar maker in Nayarit, Mexico. This coat of arms was designed by Juan Lanzagorta Vallín and painted by me. Proper tinctures can be placed on both color and metal fields. For proper tinctures, the heraldic rule of tincture of colors and metals does not apply. However, contrast remains essential. For instance, an emerald proper on a Vert-green field is heraldically correct, but the green of the emerald will render it nearly invisible against the green field. While it's technically correct, it's best avoided. The following blazon is a heraldic joke regarding this principle «Argent, a polar bear proper», it's heraldically correct, but all white.
