Done.  If you would like your arms displayed, send me the link to the graphic.


Thanks Mike,

 

you already did that. It is at the Members’ Arms’ section.

 

I have, however, another version at

This version is what I chose as avatar (at least, for the time being).

 

Kind regards

As for "bold", I kinda meant it that way.

As for "creative", I couldn’t help….

 

Kind regards

Thank you very much, Michael.

Here a few lines about my CoA, which I created a couple of years ago. The better english translation for my motto would be " I renew myself in the light".

It is a canting motto, but has, of course, to be interpretated in the light of spirituality and aesthetics. Though being very active in my everyday life, and an atheist, I am a contemplative soul.

My family name, Vernot, comes from "verne", which is alder-tree. Interestingly, there are two words in French for this tree : "aulne" (coming from latin) and "verne" (coming from gallic). By choosing my arms, I could allude to my roots (hence the tree being eradicated ) and cultural heritage being both celtic and roman.

The crest is made from the light of a star and the St Andrew’s cross for the county of Burgundy, as an allusion to my love for my count(r)y, its history and heraldry. As an historian and an heraldist, I am working for the fame of the county, that is why the star irradiates the cross.

The alder looks cool, and I really like it per pale.

Thank you for the nice words.

The challenge was the following : I wanted only one charge in my shield, and still a unique CoA !

I totally agree Dave! It is really nice. And soon I will be adding a different style of my arms, well, two actually - one with a cartoon 19th century ‘Hibernian’ standing guard over the shield alone and in front of an Irish High Cross and another in a more ‘Celtic’ style of shield using a "defender" helmet with no crest on it. Of course I have to finish them amongst the ones I am doing for everyone else (currently working on seven!!! and still trying to do my college work for the summer! - is there a going crazy emoticon Mike S. ??? - J/K)

Again I agree with you Dave.
