Registration
of a crest on the
Tenth Anniversary
of International
Heraldry Day for
use in the
promotion and
advocacy of
heraldry across
the world.
International
Heraldry Day (IHD)
focuses on one day
each year when
heraldry in all
its forms is
celebrated
worldwide.
Regardless of
jurisdiction,
geographic area,
customs, favored
styles and favored
period, the
community focuses
on wider enjoyment
of heraldry. The
goal of the
organizers is that
eventually all
heraldry
enthusiasts will
acknowledge the
event in the years
to come. The
celebration was
started in 2013
within the
International
Association of
Amateur Heralds
(IAAH). Tomasz
Steifer (Poland),
a Fellow of the
IAAH described the
effort:
“….We
propose that
this
international
day of heraldry
at 10 June. On
that day, in the
year 1128, in
Rouen was
knighted, by his
future father in
law, Henry I
Beauclerc,
Godfrey
Plantagenet.
Suspended during
the ceremony on
the neck of a
young knight
shield blue
decorated six
golden lions, is
recognized by
most of the
heralds, for the
first time in
history, fully
formed coat of
arms.”

Crest
Design Rationale:
The sun represents
the day. The lion
is the most used
heraldic beast.
The wings
represent
divulgation of
heraldry
internationally.
The shield held by
the lion is
Argent, a common
symbol used for
heralds and
reflects on the
shields in the
badge designed by
Thomaz Steifer
(the shield shape
may be emblazoned
in any of the
types used in the
IHD badge at the
artist’s
discretion).
The Soleão may be
blazoned as a
Solion or Sun
Lion. It is a
heraldic beast
with the body of a
lion, head a sun
in it’s splendor
Or and wings
Argent. It can
have any guardant
attitude a lion
has in heraldry.
The body color
must be included
in the blazon.
Plural: Soleões.
