Development and production of family (personal) coats of arms
You don't have to belong to a certain class or be a noble to have your own coat of arms.
Modern civil law and European heraldic traditions do not impose any restrictions in this regard. (learn more about this…)
A personal (family) coat of arms – is, first and foremost, the embodiment of its owner's (armiger's) status, the personification of their honour and dignity, values and qualities. It is a key element of personal style, a unique means of self-expression, a symbol of kinship and family ties.
The development of a coat of arms – is a painstaking, laborious and responsible process, which is carried out by specialists: heraldists, artists and designers. Several factors influence the cost of producing a family coat of arms, a family coat of arms, a clan coat of arms or a company coat of arms: complexity, scope of work and craftsmanship. Based on our experience and for your convenience, we offer three categories of coats of arms:
How to make a coat of arms?
You can order a coat of arms corresponding to one of the following categories of complexity:
Standard category:
The coat of arms is distinguished by its strict expressiveness: minimalism of form is combined with deeply personal symbolism.

You will confidently and uncompromisingly declare yourself, establishing your position in life and your moral and ethical code. You are an individual, and you have the right to your own coat of arms. An intelligent, beautiful, meaningful symbol.
The Standard Coat of Arms contains all the mandatory attributes of a traditional historical coat of arms, and the symbols reveal specific concepts. The composition of the coat of arms is restrained, concise, but at the same time individual and unique.

There is a mandatory author's idea. A detailed and careful study of information about the coat of arms owners allows you to deeply and subtly feel the inner world and properly reflect it in the coat of arms composition. This category of coats of arms has a unique method of creation. The electronic version is created on the basis of the author's hand-drawn graphics using the engraving technique. The coat of arms is drawn by hand by a talented artist, and then a professional designer, under careful supervision, translates the coat of arms into electronic format. By presenting it to your contemporaries, you will tell them about yourself and your life position with dignity. Your family will be even more proud of you, and your colleagues, partners and neighbours will note your extraordinary nature and depth. Your descendants will have a compelling reason to remember you with gratitude, using your coat of arms with dignity and continuing your dynasty.

All elements in the Elite coat of arms interact at the most subtle level, intertwining in meaning and heraldic significance, revealing the entire history of the family, personifying the owners, and containing messages to contemporaries and future generations. In addition, this category of coats of arms has a unique method of creation. The most professional and talented artists of the Heraldic Workshop work on the project. Initially, each element of the coat of arms is drawn separately by hand by an artist, and then computer layouts are created based on the hand-drawn graphics. The artist-designer creates electronic mock-ups of the coat of arms under the careful supervision of the chief artist. This method of creation helps to convey character even in familiar figures by stylising them, and the symbol looks more complex and interestingly crafted. Practice has shown that this result can only be achieved using manual techniques. The detail and subtlety of the work will impress even the most demanding aesthete. This category of coats of arms is an original project of the Heraldic Workshop - "Restoration of Imperial Heraldry". As a result, the coat of arms owner will receive a unique coat of arms — a masterpiece of fine art in a painting and all the necessary electronic original layouts for using the coat of arms in personal life and business. By becoming the owner of such a coat of arms, you will leave your mark on history.
