Can I just get a CoA awarded? lol I’m the first in my family to graduate from college and i work in the Human Service field. What more do I have to do…lol I’ve been brainstorming designs and I always find something wrong with them. However, as a good question and a conversation starter, since we’re in the US a lot of rules don’t apply to us. So, other then just making our own or have someone else make one, if we had to, what would the perimeters be to have a CoA awarded to US citizens. this is just a hypothetical question. 
As I mentioned to you earlier, as sovereign grand master of the order of the ROFLcopter, I am empowered to grant you an award of arms. The tentative blazon I am considering, based on your meritorious life achievements… Per bend Pink and Fuscia, a Rubber Duck Or overall.
If you can provide the proper genealogical proofs, the College of Arms (England), Lord Lyon (Scotland) or the Chief Herald of Ireland will "award" you a coat of arms, but under the same slogan my buddy uses for his print shop: anything for a friend for a fee.
If it’s just a matter of feeling overwhelmed, though, I’m sure we can form a committee and decide for you. 
Robert, correct me if I misinterpreted… were you having some doubts as to the legitimacy of just assuming arms vs. being granted them by some authority?

This sounds amazing.
"Can I just get awarded…"?? Nah—just like high school math, you gotta do the work, not just write down the answer.
IIRC (no time to look it up here in Fiji) we’ve played around with possible designs for you in the past; if any of them strike your fancy, then they’re yours for the asking—but because you choose them, not because we’ve "awarded" them.
But please do the refrigerator test for a month or so before settling on one design, or else we’ll be hearing from you in 6 months or a year asking about altering your arms.
