Coat of Arms Design

If you're interested enough in family history to have done genealogical research, or research for family names, you may be interested in a custom coat of arms. Something which proudly displays your family's heritage and legacy in one striking graphic.

Tell me the story of you and your family, and I'll create a unique coat of arms to match it.

Heraldry is a complex industry infused with multiple layers of meaning in every word and image. Professional heralds, such as those at the British College of Arms, charge up to $31,000 (£24,510) to grant an official coat of arms (2023 pricing). Since I am not a formal heraldric authority (the United States doesn't have any such organization) I can create unofficial—yet still meaningful and carefully created—arms for much less.

Any coat of arms I create will be fully custom and unique, made as a vector graphic in Adobe Illustrator. Final files will be delivered in JPG/PNG and PDF/EPS format. Vector graphics (AI, EPS, SVG, PDF) can be printed at any size without losses in quality, even billboard size, unlike standard JPG/PNG graphics or Photoshop files. For an additional cost, I can help with printing your coat of arms on a variety of items; posters, mugs, shirts, or whatever else you may desire.

Here's how it works:

1. DM me on Twitter (X) or Instagram about what you're looking for, or send me an email to get started. I always recommend discussing your needs before committing to any service, to ensure that it's a good match.
2. I'll send over some draft ideas. We can revise the chosen draft as needed (up to three revisions are included for free) to maximize satisfaction.
3. The approved draft idea will be fully illustrated and finished within a week at most.
