Shield:Argent, issuant from a mount Vert a stem vert bearing to dexter and sinister two sunflowers and in centre a marigold, all proper; upon a chief gules three playing-card spades argent, all inverted;I've used orange marigolds as my own personal emblem for over six years now, since I had one in my room in 2020 and started using it as a mark on my things, and the sunflower represents resilience and optimism, I got the idea from Basil Omori. The spades in the chief I've used as an emblem since last summer.Crest:A demi-white-tailed deer rampant proper gorged with a coronet érable gules all issuant from a circlet of sunflowers and marigolds proper;The white-taied deer is the most emblematic deer in my homeland, Eastern Ontario. The coronet is also a reference to my United Empire Loyalist heritage and the circlet repeats the floral symbols from the shield.Motto:GU BRÀTH AN EARThis is Scottish Gaelic for "Forever east" because I'm native to Eastern Ontario and my ancestors came from the Scottish highlands.The consistent gules & argent colour scheme is symbolic of the autumn and winter colours of Upper Canada's landscape, plus it just looks good and the two tinctures compliment each other.
Badge:A marigold and a sunflower proper in saltire enfiled by a Coronet érable gules;The two flowers have the same meanings/purposes as before and now inside the coronet representing heritage the two elements together show the coexistence of my own individual, modern identity and my broader family's ancient heritage.Banner:Gules a saltire between two playing-card spades in pale and two sunflowers all argent;I found a simple banner of arms wouldn't look that good and there was potential for more creativity so I made a new design entirely for the banner. The argent saltire is another callback to my Scottish ancestry, and the gules background is to match the badge and arms. The sunflowers have the same meaning as earlier as do the spades.
