Found this one day whilst surfing. 
Given the popularity of fictional Oxford colleges, it made me wonder if any of THOSE had arms too…

No news on that front, but just curious…

Cardinal College acctualy existed beeing created by Cardinal Wolsey it later became Christ Church College. And it should be noted that there are some Colleges created in modern times that are not included in the Picture.
I knew that Wolsey’s college became Christ Church… I didn’t realize it was originally called Cardinal, though that makes sense.
And a good point about the modern colleges as well…

Yes it does make sense that Wolsey’s Colleg was called Cardinal. As for the modern colleges here are the Arms of the newest Oxford College nemely Green Templeton College, whose Arms was granted by the College of Arms in 2007.

"After several iterations and a lot of careful consideration about such a significant part of the college’s identity, a new Coat of Arms was agreed. It combines aspects of both Green and Templeton’s existing coats of arms and its symbolic heraldry captures the spirit of each of their histories and character.
The shield incorporates two important symbols: the Rod of Aesculapius and the Nautilus shell. The serpent coiled around a staff is a symbol for the healing arts (Asclepius, the son of Apollo, was a practitioner of medicine in Greek mythology) and was at the centre of the Green College coat of arms as the school was founded for students specialising in medicine. The nautilus shell which symbolises evolution and renewal was chosen by Sir John Templeton and adopted by the College in 1984 when it changed its name from the Oxford Centre for Management Studies.
In the full coat of arms, there is a royal crest featuring a heraldic representation of the sun behind the astronomical symbol for Venus (♀) which is an homage to the historically important transit of Venus across the sun in 1761.
It was this cosmological event or rather the lack of appropriate facilities in Britain to observe it, that led to the building of the magnificent Radcliffe Observatory, the iconic building at the heart of Green Templeton College."
