Designed and emblazoned by Matthew Alderman.

 

The blazon is: Or, a bear rampant sable, languered gules and armed argent, holding in the forepaws a Latin cross fleury gules, all within a bordure compony gules and argent, the pieces gules charged each with an escallop or and the pieces argent with a mullet of six points azure. (Source, and more information, here.)

 

Although Alderman’s explanation of the design attaches symbolism to some of the external ornaments (the olive and oak branches, for example), I would assume that they are entirely decorative license.
