Family Crests and Coats of Arms • Coats of arms (also known as heraldry) have been used for thousands of years. Symbols are used to represent families, individuals or groups. Coats of arms tend to have unique combinations of colours, a shield design surrounded by shapes and animals, and a motto.

FAMILY COAT OF ARMS • Family crests and coats of arms are family symbols passed down through generations. They are unique to each family, and can be meaningful reminders of past family members. They also celebrate the present as visual representations of family traditions, hobbies and personal characteristics.
