When trying to grow your group’s public presence, it is important to have a logo you can use to “brand” your website, correspondence, advertising and banners. Coats of arms can make very effective logos for businesses, student groups or social clubs and can be an elegant form of personal branding if used by individuals. For student groups, these logos provide for an instant traditional feel, while making your logo easily recognizable as belonging both at your school and to your national organization. For businesses, we can design a coat of arms which speaks to the location of your business and the type of business you are in. Or if you have a family based business, we can make a logo based on the coat of arms of one of your ancestors. What we do: We identify the symbols used by your school and national organization in their logos. In this example we use the logo for a student group belonging to an organization which uses a lamp on its traditional logo.The chapter is located at a school which has a fox and mountain laurel on its logo. The example school’s colors are red and white. We translate those symbols into the forms that would be used in traditional coats of arms. We put together the components according to the rules of armory to produce an eye-catching logo that instantly confers a sense of tradition and gravitas to your group.

People eventually started commissioning me to create coats of armor and logos for them and their businesses. I found the work to be quite a lot of fun and the type of creative challenge I really enjoy. So here we are at this new website, my first adventure to see if more than just a few random people might want to take advantage of my design talents. In addition to offering my own services for sale, I plan also to create a blog about graphic design for logos and some things that I have learned in my time crafting websites for businesses, non-profits, and student groups. So, welcome! I hope you enjoy your visit and if there is anything I can do for you, please use our order form or contact...
