Why would anyone want to have their own coat of arms designed? There are many reasons but
the most common is that a coat of arms is a very personal and unique form of expressing who
you are. Coats of arms are created to illustrate specific characteristics of a person and deeds
or accomplishments in one's life. For example, if a person has served thier country in the military,
there are specific symbols used in heraldry to illustrate that service. Coats of arms can also be
a status symbol and are marks of dignity and pride that many people find very appealing and
interesting.
In my designs, I will always consider the traits, accomplishments and
characteristics of the person or family I am designing for and create a unique form of identity
for you and your family that no one else will have. Coats of arms are unique and created for each
individual,(though in some cases, they are inheritable by the holder's descendants). Below are some
links to more information about what I do and heraldry in general. I do urge you to read the FAQ
section as there is important information concerning so called "family" coats of arms. If you have
any questions the information on these pages does not answer, please feel free to contact me via
e-mail at dksdesigns@earthlink.net. If you would like
to inquire about having a personal coat of arms designed for you, please go the the design inquiry
form and fill out the requested information.
If you are interested in seeing some of the work I have done in the past, please take a
look at the examples. Any comments or suggestions can be e-mailed to me. Enjoy!
