'''Maker:''' Alexander#6201<br>
'''Blazon:''' <br>
'''Blazon:''' Encompassing the shield circles of feathers proper alternating Tennée and Argent radiating outwards from the centre.<br>
'''Symbolism:'''
'''Symbolism:''' A play on the tincture limitations, and a contrast to this person's usual metal-based, angular-patterned shield, feathers are some of the ultimate efficient precision tools of nature. The crest alludes to this person's love of metrology.
 
===Nº 2===

'''Maker:''' KnightofAshes#0248<br>
'''Blazon:''' Sable, a tree of the first enflamed Or, a base embowed of the second.<br>
'''Symbolism:'''
'''Symbolism:''' The tree is growth and development. The fire seems damaging, but it's actually cleansing, and promotes regrowth, something important for an artist. The embowed chief is a crescent moon, representing light in the dark. The tree grows from it because great ideas find fertile ground in even the most desolate of places.
 
===Nº 3===
[[Image:HH4_4HH5_3.png|200px]]<br>
'''Maker:''' Azul<br>
'''Blazon:''' Purpure semy of comets bendwise inverted Or.<br>
'''Symbolism:'''
'''Symbolism:''' The shield is a representation of a night sky during a meteor shower. It's meant to symbolize armiger's ideals of changing the world drastically to be a better place, as one makes a wish seeing a falling star, and brief flight of one is a symbol of changes themselves. A meteor shower is also an unlikely event supposed to stand for the armiger's views on reality. The colors are supposed to vaguely be associated with leftist ideas within the armiger's culture. The design as a whole is an attempt to reference the intended armiger's artistic preferences.

'''Maker:''' enrico coochie#9095<br>
'''Blazon:''' Per chevron inverted Argent and Vert, in chief a down tack of the last.<br>
'''Symbolism:'''
'''Symbolism:''' The field is a reference to the geography of Kiel, specifically the Kiel Fjord, the green represents the plentiful land within Kiel, and the down tack is a mathematical symbol representing a true statement (representing both his interest in mathematics and the value of honesty).

'''Blazon:''' <br>
'''Blazon:''' Or, a bordure Vert, a closed book with ribbon Vert, charged with a tankard Or, in canton a tryzub Vert. For a crest a demi Calopus Or.<br>
'''Symbolism:'''
'''Symbolism:''' The book symbolizes the armiger's hobby of linguistics... but more than that is speaks to his/her passion of equality and freedom, which are often achieved by learning and understanding others. The bookmark represents the armiger's sense of identity... of knowing who he or she is and being able to point to that identity even when surrounded by others of many different identities just like a reader can use a bookmark to point directly to a specific passage in a book. The Tankard if for the armiger's love of beer. The tryzub is of course a nod to the armiger's home country.

'''Blazon:''' Argent, two hands holding Epèes in saltire issuant from base Gules, a rose Gules in chief. For a crest, a clef Gules.<br>
'''Symbolism:''' Three tree branches for the Holy Trinity, blue berries and forest motif for canting, the supporters are national symbols of the recipent's nation.

For supporters, toy soldiers the dexter bearing a drum and the sinister bearing a trumpet. For a motto, "Embrace & Unite".<br>
'''Symbolism:'''
'''Symbolism:''' Every single element is attributed to the recipient in some way. To put it simply though: The arms represent the recipient's interests and personality, while the crest represents their hobbies. The motto and supporters represent the armiger's goals, passions, and perspective on life.

'''Symbolism:''' The sea-dog is both a representation of the bearers geographical location and ideals, for the dog part symbolizes his ideals of truth and loyalty and it being a sea-dog representing his homeland Schleswig-Holstein and his city Kiel - Schleswig Holstein being situated between the North Sea and the Baltic Sea to the West and East, thus the Sea-Dogs facing both ways, the crest highlighting Kiels position at the Baltic.
'''Symbolism:''' The swan as main charge is the national bird of Finland where the bearer of the arms come from, also it is a bird which often mates for life and fiercely protects their children which reflects the family values of the bearer. The cross represents the Christian faith of the bearer.

'''Maker:''' Judah#1924<br>
'''Blazon:''' Per pale Sable and Argent, beneath two roses in fess a quill all counterchanged.<br>
'''Symbolism:''' The tinctures and division are a vague reference to drama and the theater through those masks traditionally used to represent the art. The roses refer to the armiger's home in England, his love of nature and history, and his monarchist beliefs. Two rose's represent him as the second son. The ostritch feather quill represents a belief in justice and law, as well as a reference to a need for balance, alluding to Egyptian mythology and the Scales of Judgement.

'''Maker:''' Judah#1924<br>
'''Blazon:''' Per fess enarched or two pallets vert and vert a wreath or.<br>
'''Symbolism:'''
'''Symbolism:''' The division and two pallets combine to allude to a bridge, which is a canting. In the bottom half, the wreath serves two purposes: As a ring of plants, it alludes to the armiger's love of gardens and nature. As a wreath which a victor might wear on his head, it represents the Greeks and the Romans, and in turn the armiger's love of both history and architecture.

'''Blazon:''' Purpure, a fess enarched Argent ermined of the field between three plates. Crest: A demi-triceratops Purpure armed Argent holding a longsword of the same.<br>
'''Symbolism:'''
'''Symbolism:''' Symbolizing the recipient valuing kindness and love, I wanted to use softer shapes when designing the shield. The recipient is interested in sci-fi and worldbuilding so the plates represent stars, planets or distant worlds. The crest depicts two of the recipients interests/hobbies, HEMA and dinosaurs.

'''Symbolism:''' The tree represents the recipient's love of the environment and Scouting. On an embattled chief, representing family and the home, three crosses represent the recipient's Christian faith as well as the recipient's three first names. The crest represents the importance the recipient places on motherhood (the moon traditionally representing the mother to the Sun's father), as well as another reference to Scouting in the bandana/torse.
'''Symbolism:''' Boar in the shield is canting, and the flame represents both faith and knowledge in the same head. In the crest the apple tree in flowers symbolizes life and family, apple blossoms referring also to the armiger's home state, Michigan (in which the appe blossom is the state flower). The flame from the shield is here presented paired, as equal and balanced aspects of life

'''Symbolism:''' The arms are inspired by the former arms of the recipient's birthplace, Gules, a Dove Argent holding an olive branch Proper. The hands upon which the dove perches are multifaceted, representing compassion and medicine(a helping hand), community (hand in hand), and leadership and teaching (a guiding hand). Below, a cross cavalry represents the recipient's Catholicism and baseballing tendencies. The crest is an obvious reference to the recipient's Polynesian interests.
'''Symbolism:''' These arms refer to the armigers origins and extensive travel throughout the Americas and abroad as well as their military service. The stars and chevrons both carry multiple layers of meaning (stars in flags of the armiger's home nation and current residence, the mountain ranges in his home country, and chevrons in military ranks). I would have made these arms with different tinctures but cannot for . . . reasons.

'''Blazon:''' <br>
'''Blazon:''' Gules, a cubit arm Or, thereon a heart of the first, holding a key of the second.<br>
'''Symbolism:'''
'''Symbolism:''' The key and arm cubit to symbolize liberation, the heart to symbolize compassion for those being liberated. the knight on the crest holds shackles unlocked and the key to symbolize freedom.
 
===Nº 19===
[[Image:HH4_20HH5_20.jpegpng|200px]]<br>
'''Maker:''' thick1988#1585<br>
'''Blazon:''' Quarterly Gules and Azure, an angel in armour, holding a cavalry sabre in dexter hand an in the sinister a headless snake, dripping blood from the wound, all Argent. For a crest, an European bison Gules armed Argent holding two drumsticks Azure and in front of him a drum Azure snared and hooped Argent.<br>
'''Blazon:''' Azure pendant from either end of a balance two lanterns all or. For a crest and mantle, the pelt of a Lion Or.<br>
'''Symbolism:''' Armiger is a Catholic and sees himself as militarist, hence the armoured angel slaying the snake of evil. The crest, European bison, as well as the sabre, a favoured weapon of Hussars, refer to Polish origin of Armiger's family, which the armiger cherishes. The crest also refers to armiger's interest in drumming. The motto, while a quotation of an old Polish motto, also refers both to the faith and the monarchistic worldview of the armiger.
'''Symbolism:''' The armiger values honesty, and justice, and this is symbolized with the lantern and hanging balance, among the antics of Diogenes of Sinope was to walk around with a lit lantern in daylight trying to find an honest man. the hanging balance represents the virtue of justice. however, it also symbolizes the armiger's passion of history and bodybuilding. In history one needs to weigh up evidence against one another, and if you consider the balance as a long metal bar with weights on the end, then it is not too dissimilar to barbells, an important equipment to train many a muscle group. The lion pelt is a reference to Hercules who wears the pelt of a Nemean lion, and this is to represent the virtue of strength. Also it makes the armiger to embody the head of a lion pride, as he is the head of his family.

'''Blazon:''' <br>
'''Blazon:''' Gules, two gamelan mallets Or in saltire with heads Gules surmounting flames Or.<br>
'''Symbolism:'''
'''Symbolism:''' The mallets used in Indonesian gamelan music are a reference to the armiger's interest in his homeland's cultural heritage, in this case its musical and theatrical traditions which in turn are deeply rooted in local mythologies. The fire surrounding their heads represents the armiger's constant pursuit of knowledge. Red being an energetic color associated with passion and happiness across many Eastern cultures represents the armiger's ideal of constant self-improvement.
 
===Nº 21===
[[Image:HH4_22HH5_22.png|200px]]<br>
'''Maker:''' ZechariahMatteo679#7980<br>
'''Blazon:''' Gyronny of ten azure and argent fretty azure, on the azure gyrons five crescents of the second in an orle, points facing outwards, on an inescutcheon gules a tower of the second.<br>
'''Blazon:''' Vert, a book closed Copper, on the cover a flame Vert.<br>
'''Symbolism:''' The recipient is a fascinating, generous and talented members of the Discord community and these arms seek to pay tribute to the recipient's diverse interests whilst creating a visually arresting, memorable and ultimately timeless achievement of arms as befits the owner.
'''Symbolism:''' The green field represents her love for the environment and interest in gardening. Copper was chosen for the book as she said it was one of her favorite colors. The book symbolizes her passion for learning and the flame is an addition to help stress how passionate she is about it. The flame was also chosen because fire is a symbol of Hestia who is the Greek goddess of architecture, which is one of the armiger's interests. The connection the Hestia, who is also the goddess of family, also symbolizes how family seems to be important in the armiger's life.
 
The gyronny division was selected to evoke an energy to the overall achievement, as though emanating or pulsating with “life”, coincidentally the meaning of the recipient's surname. Crescents are symbolic of Turkey, but also significant for the three crescents in the arms of the recipient’s partner. The fretty is reminiscent of the grille on the helmet used in HEMA longsword fencing, one of the recipient's passions. On the gules inescutcheon is a masoned Medieval tower, symbolic of the recipient's love of history, worldbuilding, and fantasy.

'''Maker:''' Nessie<br>
'''Blazon:''' Per fesschevron ArgentAzure semé of fleurs de lys’ and Vertsaltorels Argent, overall a soaringchevron kiteof perthe bendsame counterchanged.and Forin base Gules a mottocross potent of "soarthe high"second.<br>
'''Symbolism:''' Having shared his many fridge tests and progress shots on discord the armiger gave me lots to work with. The livery colours are wildly appropriate, reminiscent of the tricolor of his native France and in orientation with respect to the escutcheon, similar to those of his hometown Paris.<br>
'''Symbolism:''' The kite flying in the form really stood out to me as it could cover a lot of the other things brought up. It ties in with the air/wind theme of this person's name as well as developing human potential, as kites start on the ground but can reach great hights. To empathise this meaning i tied it in with a motto.
The semy de lys harkens to the chief of the arms of Paris but here is not in the Capetian or but in argent, and the fleurs de lys are interspersed with saltorels. The semy effect recalls binary code, as the armiger shares an interest in computer programming. The addition of the saltorels modernises the ancient pattern, invokes the armigers interest in finance and the mathematics involved therein by looking like the multiplication sign, and as a visual pun looks formulaic as though multiplying the fleurs de lys thus amplifying their historical significance.<br>
This heraldist believes the chevron’s upward pointing motif, (where poetically and symbolically co convenient) to represent upward mobility, aspirations to freedom and the argent is a classic symbol of purity and peace in many Western traditions. The cross potent has no particular symbolism bar that the armiger had trialled it in previous renditions of their arms.

'''Blazon:''' Per pale Azure and Gules, in pale a hanging balance and the moon in her plenitude Argent. For a crest, a demi-wildcat rampant Gules.<br>
'''Symbolism:''' The arms use Boston's official colors. These arms reflect the armiger's love of reading and games (the per pale folds out like the cover of an open book and is divided in half to symbolize opposite teams on a field), the azure on the right side of the field reflects the color of the armiger's favorite baseball team . The balance reflects the armiger's value of fairness, and the moon reflects the armiger's value of applied knowledge (wisdom) and maturity. It also looks like a baseball, which is of course the theme for this HH contest.

'''Blazon:''' Per chevron abased Azure and Gules fimbriated Argent, in chief three piles inverted conjoined in middle chief Argent, in base an annulet Argent.<br>
'''Symbolism:''' The division per chevron and the piles both visually evoke upwards motion representative of the recipient's ideals of human growth and improvement. The piles and the fimbriation form a kite shape hinting at the recipient's interest in that hobby. Furthermore, the three piles and the annulet also resemble the recipient's initials.
