Imaginary heraldry

Within imaginary heraldry, I classify the arms attributed to persons, entities, or things, real, mythical, or imaginary, that could not or cannot possess them, or if they did, their existence is unknown, or due to various circumstances, they neither could nor can assume them.

For example, the coat of arms of Odysseus of Ithaca, legendary hero of Greek mythology, of Brutus of Britain, mythical hero of Troy and founder of Britain who never existed, of Seneca, who historically existed, but could not have had arms as he lived before heraldry, of Hufflepuff at Hogwarts from the Harry Potter books, of the Holy Trinity, of logic, of arithmetic, or of the categories of heraldry.

Argent, a lion sejant erect Purpure.

Escudo de plata, un león sentado de púrpura.

Imaginary coat of arms of King Fernando II of León, which I have developed based on his seal and the arms of his successor, with: the shape of the coat of arms is semi-circular; the field enameled in flat argent; the lion enameled in purpure and illuminated; and the whole rendered with a watercolor finish.

For this imaginary coat of arms I have chosen a representation of the lion in a posture similar to that of the great seal appearing in [Fernando II de León; 1167], which is sejant ~ «sentado» in Castilian, although beginning to rise «sejant erect».

It should be noted that we are in a pre-heraldic period where the possible attitudes of the lion were not yet clearly defined, although several of them are already anticipated in the great seals of Fernando II, as can be seen, for example, passant in [Fernando II de León; 1181] and in other attitudes in the photographs of [Martín Fuertes, J. A.; 2002].

Alternative coat of arms for the heraldry and its categories.

Quarterly in saltire: 1 Purpure, a crown Or; 2 Vert, a sword point upwards Or; 3 Azure, a crozier Or; 4 Sable, a bezant; an inescutcheon Or charged with a heart Gules; a bordure Argent.

Imaginary coat of arms created by me with the following characteristics: its shape is semicircular; its field is enameled with flat tinctures of Purpure, Vert, Azure, Sable, Or, and Argent; all of its figures are illuminated and enameled in Or, except for the heart, which is Gules; and the whole composition has a metallic finish.

These arms are one of the alternatives created during the process of developing a coat of arms for the categories of heraldry.

Quarterly: 1 Azure, a cross Or; 2 Vert, a saltire Or; 3 Vert, a bend sinister Or; 4 Azure, a fess Or. Motto: «Arithmeticus».

Escudo cuartelado: 1^o de azur, una cruz de oro; 2^o de sinople, un sotuer de oro; 3^o de sinople, una barra de oro; 4^o de azur, una faja de oro. Divisa: «Arithmeticus».

I have made this imaginary coat of arms for the Arithmetic with the following characteristics: a semicircular external shape; its enamelled field with flat color Azure and Vert inks; all the pieces are metal Or, the motto is metal Argent with Sable letters; pieces and motto are illuminated and outlined in Sable; and the whole with a very lightly beaten metal finish.

For the division operation, instead of using the piece bend sinister, 2 bezants Or in pale could have been used. However, since the bezant is a diminished piece, I preferred to use 4 pieces, one for each quarter.

Can modern objects appear in a coat of arms?

My rule is: a coat of arms is forever, so any symbol included must be recognizable by future generations. Can you place an iPhone in a coat of arms? No—but not because it’s modern, rather because your grandchildren likely won’t recognize the form of an iPhone; in fact, today’s mobile phones already look quite different from those of a decade ago. Can you include a steam locomotive? Yes, because its form has become anchored in time and in the collective imagination. What about an hourglass, an analog clock, or a black 8-ball from pool? Also yes—their forms are now classics. That is, I believe we can use those symbols that most people already carry in their minds and that are very likely to remain present in the minds of our children and grandchildren. But this is just my humble criterion.

Sable, three Towers Or, two and one

The classic heraldic layout for three charges on a coat of arms is two in chief and on in base. The layout one in chief and two at base are considered disordered in many heraldic traditions.

The blazon of this coat of arms, «Sable, three Towers Or, two and one», is disordered, and the entropy refers to disorder, and more entropy means more disorder. Then this imaginary coat of arms is full of entropy, and it could belong to the entropy.
