What is your favorite coat of arms?

[Xanikk999]

Personally I like Prussias coat of arms as well as their flag. According to Wikipedia this was in use between 1701 and 1918 when the empire was dissolved following world war 1. I have no idea what those people with the grass/leaf skirts are supposed to represent however. I like it though!

I really hope this link works.

I like my own Coat of Arms as well.

It was given to my ancestor by the king of Poland for his servance to the king. (My ancestor was the guard of a king of Poland)

I like Munich too What's the history behind it?

I also like the one of the town I was born in, although I don't have any other special sympathy for that town.

Always thought Warsaw's is really clean and good.

(Note, there are boobies, which shouldn't bother you as long as your not 13 :| )

Mine. I don't really care if you see the name, after all I don't think many of you speak Irish. (The name was translated into it's modern form when the English came over.

Well mine are :

from my father's side (motto should be "An lámh láidir in uachtar {strong hand uppermost}" the general Dalcassian motto) and:

from my mother's side. The Cremins CoA is a lot cleaner.

But of all my favourite is that of Connaught:

I know it's the flag but flag is just the banner of the arms.

I don't know much about Coats of Arms. From the ones posted here, Mexico is my favourite.

The Connaught one always seemed silly to me. Not as silly as Finlands headstabbing ******** lion though.

Russia's has a knight stabbing a dragon, a two-headed Byzantine eagle, and what looks like a holy hand grenade, yet somehow I just can't force myself to like it.

Coat of Arms that are more awesome than Everton's:

The USMC logo and the Great Seal of the United States aren't that pretentious. Anything more complicated or detailed is just trying too hard.

A bit too detailed, but simple enough:

Simple, yet distinctive.
