A family crest I designed for Stafford family from the USA

This family crest has been designed for a Stafford family which has a lineage that goes back to the Norman Invasion in 1066. The traditional symbol of the Stafford family is the red chevron on gold. Beyond that, the client wanted to include a fox, symbolising his personally. This would be a typical North American or European red fox, orange in color. At first the idea was for a leaping posture, but eventually the fox head has been a final version holding a sword. Additional text on the ribbon “Et Vulpes Novit”.

You can send me an email using the contact form there, describing what coat of arms would you like me design for you. Also, you can click on “Prices” link in the same menu to read more about symbolic elements used in heraldry. Every element in the coat of arms should have its meaning. For example “a spade” a tool of agriculture; symbol of honest labour. “Jasmine”: signifies hope, joy and a demonstration of attachment. Please note, that there is no such thing as a ‘coat of arms for a surname’. Many people of the same surname will often be entitled to completely different coats of arms. A family crest belongs to individuals.
