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:
“For every family had one cat at least in the bag.”
—Christopher Smart (1722–1771)
“The history of any nation follows an undulatory course. In the trough of the wave we find more or less complete anarchy; but the crest is not more or less complete Utopia, but only, at best, a tolerably humane, partially free and fairly just society that invariably carries within itself the seeds of its own decadence.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
