Domaica Maroto, Juana María

Party per pale Azur and Argent: a chevron between in chief a dressage horse salient, and in base three waves of the sea all counterchanged. Motto: «Prosequitur deinceps».

Escudo partido de azur y plata: un cabrio surmontado de un caballo de doma saltante y en punta tres ondas del mar, todo del uno al otro. Lema: «Prosequitur deinceps».

Coat of arms created with the following characteristics: the base of the shield is pointed; its field is enamelled in plain Azure and Argent; the ordinary and the 2 charges are illuminated in plain Argent and Azure; the horse has a braided and gathered tail, in all my representations; and the whole is outlined of the field and finished with a watercolour effect.

For the angles and proportions of the chevron in this coat of arms I have based myself on some of the chevrons produced by Martin S.J. Goldstraw, who himself bears a Gules chevron in his coat of arms.

Martin Goldstraw is one of the founders of The Cheshire Heraldry Trust, illustrator of the website of this foundation Cheshire Heraldry, author of books on coats of arms and facsimiles, for example, on the county of Cheshire and a passionate devotee of heraldry.

Hatching technique for the arms and crown of the Municipality of Candasnos

Party per fess, the base per pale: 1 Or, a hurt; 2 Gules and 3 Argent, over both a cross of Malta counterchanged. Crest: A closed royal crown.

Coat of arms emblazoned by me, contoured in Sable, and with a texturized finish.

Coat of arms of the municipality of Candasnos, Huesca, designed by Valeriano Labara Ballestar and approved by the Government of Aragon. It has been an honor for me to emblazon this hatched version with a crown for Valeriano Labara. I have interpreted it using dots and lines, a method called hatching which was useful for black and white illustrations. For the hatching I follow Silvestre Pietrasanta (1638) and Marcus Vulson de la Colombière (1639): for metals, Or with dots and Argent with pure white; for colors, Gules with vertical lines, Azure with horizontal lines, and for some jewels in the crown, Vert with diagonal lines bendwise. A hatched version can be seen in [Labara Ballestar, V. C.; 2019; pages 344 and 357].

Kimon Andreou, contourné

Party per fess: 1 Azure, a Athenian owl Argent, contourné, in chief; 2 Argent, an oak Azure, eradicated, in base; overall a saltire counterchanged. Motto: «Ischys Dia Tis Gnoseos» written in greek.

Escudo cortado: 1^o de azur, una lechuza al estilo ateniense, contornada de plata, en jefe; 2^o de plata, un roble de azur, arrancado, en punta; brochante sobre el todo un sotuer del uno al otro. Lema: «El poder del conocimiento» escrito en griego.

Existing coat of arms which I have interpreted with: its semicircular (round) base; its 2 fields enameled in plain tinctures Azure and Argent; its saltire with the traditional dimensions of 1/3 of the width of the shield, that is, the width of a bend; its figures outlined in Sable and illuminated in Argent and Azure; its illuminated motto; and the ensemble in lightly beaten metal.

Contourné ~ Contornado

There are authors who limit the use of the term contornado to turned heads that look to the sinister side of the shield. However, here I use contornado in a more general way, following [Avilés, J.; 1780a; page 61] who defines it as «contornados se dice de los animales ú de las cabezas de ellos, vueltos á la siniestra del Escudo».

There is another more specific use of the term contornado for the crescent moon: «bueltos se dice de los Crecientes que miran á el lado derecho del Escudo, porque mirando á el siniestro se dice contornados», [Avilés, J.; 1780a; page 52].

In English, the equivalent term that I have most frequently seen is «contourné», which comes from French.

Nelson, Matthew

Party per pale Or and Gules, on a bend counterchanged three fleur de lis palewise counterchanged Argent and Sable between six martlets, 3 and 3 in pale, counterchanged Sable and Argent.

Escudo partido: 1^o de oro, en la diestra de la punta tres marletas en palo de sable; 2^o de gules, en la siniestra del jefe tres marletas en palo de plata; brochante sobre el todo una banda del uno al otro cargada de tres flores de lis puestas en palo, la primera de plata, la segunda partida de plata y sable y la tercera de sable.

Arms devised by me, illuminated with lights and shadows, contoured in Sable, with an ogee external shape and with a watercolor finishing.

Coat of arms of Matthew Nelson designed by him and me and emblazoned by me. Alternative blazon: «Party per pale: 1 Or, in the dexter of the base three martlets in pale Sable; 2 Gules, in the sinister of the chief three martlets in pale Argent; overall a bend counterchanged charged with three fleurs de lis palewise, the first Argent, the second per pale Argent and Sable, and the third Sable».

Design rationale

This design combines elements and tinctures from the arms of his lineages: Luttrell, Anglo-Irish, and Nelson from Ireland, along with personal details. The bend, martlets, Or, and Sable are from Luttrell. The fleurs de lis Argent, Sable, and per pale Argent and Sable are from Nelson. As personal elements, the layout includes the letter N from his surname, and the color Gules.
