Creating Coat of Arms

The Macedonian Heraldic Society designs personal and family coats of arms.

They consist of a shield, a helmet with a mantle,  crest and a motto. Shield holders, large mantles and crowns without a crest are not allowed.

The process of creating and registering a coat of arms consists of three stages.

The first is to determine the blazon. It defines what will be on the back, with what colors, in what relation, position, etc.

The second is artistic drawing

The third is the registration of the coat of arms.

The first stage discusses your wishes for what should be presented on the back (story, history, yours or family, values, maybe profession or other interest, etc.), which is stated in the Request form. These ideas are then used in heraldic form with a few suggestions, first for the shield, then for the helmet and finally the motto.

Then, in communication with the petitioner, the final version is determined, for which a technical emblazon (drawing) is obtained. The technical emblazon is made with a professional heraldic clipart and petitioner receives bitmap drawings from the arms in all three forms (small, medium, large) practically in which you want a resolution. No vector file is obtained. Making the coat of arms with technical emblazon (drawing) as the coats of arms of https://www.facebook.com/HeraldicArtJJ/

Procedure for making a personal / family coat of arms

The petitioner’s request is submitted on the standard form. The request is considered and assigned to the herald.

The herald contacts the petitioner for consultation on the design of the coat of arms.

The herald makes the blazon in accordance with the heraldic rules and traditions, taking into account the wishes of the petitioner that are in accordance with the heraldic rules and traditions, as well as with the standards of the Macedonian Coat of Arms.

Upon completion of the design / blazon, it is presented to the petitioner. After determining the blazon, the petitioner selects the heraldic artist, who performs emblazoning of the blazon.

In the process of emblazoning, the heraldic artist is in constant contact with the herald. The obtained coat of arms (coat of arms and emblazon) is ready for registration in the register of the Macedonian Coat of Arms.
