Family Crest
- An azure blazon with sword proper in pale, point in base, garnished
- From a crowned helmet, a dragon, or flaming gules, the flames charged with the charges of the shield.
Translation: The family crest has a blue central shield with a vertical sword, point down, flanked by two yellow crescents facing opposite directions. A medieval helmet bearing a crown sits atop the shield, with a fire breathing dragon (facing left from the bearer's point of view) perched on top of the crown. Blue and yellow foliage surrounds the shield and flanks the helmet.

Famous quotes containing the words family and/or crest:
“Parenting is not logical. If it were, we would never have to read a book, never need a family therapist, and never feel the urge to call a close friend late at night for support after a particularly trying bedtime scene. . . . We have moments of logic, but life is run by a much larger force. Life is filled with disagreement, opposition, illusion, irrational thinking, miracle, meaning, surprise, and wonder.”
—Jeanne Elium (20th century)
“What shall he have that killed the deer?
His leather skin and horns to wear.
Then sing him home.
Take thou no scorn to wear the horn,
It was a crest ere thou wast born;
Thy father’s father wore it,
And thy father bore it.
The horn, the horn, the lusty horn
Is not a thing to laugh to scorn.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
