Sun

Motto: Stand and Be Counted

Gules fretty Argent; on a chief wavy Bleu celeste, a rising sun Or.

Escudo de gules fretado de plata; en un jefe ondado de celeste, un sol saliente de oro.

Coat of arms interpreted and emblazoned by me with with a semi-circular ended shape, illuminated, and with a iridescent finishing.

The sun used to be emblazoned with a human face, with its eyes, mouth, and nose, but in all the interpretations that I know of this blazon, the sun appears without a human face.

G0113, Chief Herald of Arms of Malta's grant of Randy David Lee Xavier Potts's arms, whose coat of arms has been emblazoned by me. The difference between the coat of arms assumed by Randy Potts and the coat of arms granted by the Chief Herald of Arms of Malta is that the bald eagle in the chief is blazoned proper. Likewise, the difference in the crest is that the dragon is now blazoned armed and langued Gules. The purpose of these two changes, both in the shield and in the crest, is to allow these elements to stand out a bit more. This coat of arms has been included in the book [Gauci, C. A.; Cassar, R. M.; 2025; page 175].

Arms [ Tierced per fess: 1 Sable, seven mullets Argent arranged as the Plough of Ursa Major; 2 Azure; 3 Sanguine, a demi-sun issuant from base Or ]; Badge [ Azure, an escallop Or environed by ribbons Sanguine doubled Or ]; Motto, 1^st line [ «Incipit Vita» Or over a scroll bendwise Sanguine ]; Crest [ Or, upon a wreath Or and Sanguine, a raven proper ]; Motto, 2^nd line [ «Nova» Or over a scroll bendwise Sanguine ]; Badge [ Azure, an escallop Or environed by ribbons Sanguine doubled Or ]; Fringes: Or and Sanguine.

Heraldic device emblazoned by me, illuminated with lights and shadows, contoured in Sable, and with a leather finish.

Heraldic standard of Marcio Vieira Nastri emblazoned by me. Structure: his coat of arms; his heraldic badge; the 1^st line of his motto «Incipit Vita»; his crest; the 2^nd line of his motto «Nova»; and his badge. I usually do not blazon standards; I only describe their structure, since the coat of arms, the badge, and the crest they normally bear are already known as those of the armiger. However, in this case I have blazoned the standard with details from the hoist to the fly. The hoist is the part attached to the mast, and the fly is the part that waves freely and in this case ends in a swallow-tail, although this is an artistic detail I have not blazoned. For the specification of this blazon I use brackets for each of the parts, for example, the blazon of the arms, the blazon of the badge, or the blazon of the crest. In this case I have repeated the blazon of the second occurrence of the badge, but I could have avoided it by referring back to the first. It is unusual to find such a detailed specification of a standard.
