The field of
Azure (blue),
was chosen to
symbolise
loyalty,
truth, and
perseverance,
the Gules
(red) fess
divides the
shield,
representing
strength and
military
fortitude. The
three unicorn
heads erased
Argent (silver
unicorn heads,
torn from the
body)
symbolise
purity,
courage, and
untamed
spirit.
Unicorns are
often
associated
with wisdom
and virtue,
and their
placement in
chief suggests
that these
qualities are
of paramount
importance.
The key Argent
represents
guardianship,
knowledge, and
access to
secrets. The
hound passant
Argent (a
walking silver
hunting dog)
represents
loyalty,
vigilance, and
service.
Hounds are
often used to
indicate
steadfastness
and keen
instinct.
The mantling
is Gules and
Azure doubled
Argent (red
and blue with
white lining),
reflecting
both martial
prowess (Gules
for strength
and courage)
and steadfast
loyalty (Azure
for truth and
perseverance).
The artistic
flourishes of
the mantling,
inspired by
medieval
battle
coverings,
enhance the
historical
depth of the
design.
This
achievement
was designed
to
convey a
person or
lineage that
values wisdom,
strength,
vigilance, and
nobility of
character. The
combination of
the unicorn
(virtue), the
key
(guardianship),
and the hound
(loyalty)
paints a
picture of an
individual or
family that is
both fiercely
independent
yet deeply
devoted to
duty and
trust. The
Azure and
Gules mantling
further
emphasizes a
balanced blend
of courage and
loyalty.
Acknowledging
that these
arms are those
of the heir to
Robert Brian
Heinen (Registration No. 0725),
suitable
differenced by
the label of
three points,
the armiger
chose to adopt
his registered
cattle brand
as his own
crest to
create a clear
distinction
until the time
of his
inheritance of
the
undifferenced
arms. The
cattle brand
holds personal
significance,
as it was the
first symbol
he and his
wife
registered
together after
their
marriage.
