This means that you can create a different custom family coat of arms, family crest, or mantel that is different than the one that we have in our records.

Parts of a Coat of Arms / Important Symbols to Include
There are several parts to a coat of arms. Each of the important sections is shown in the picture above. When you design a coat of arms, you want to create a coat of arms to fit your needs. Making a coat of arms is normally a fun and exciting time for you and your family, or you may be creating a company logo or even a emblem for a school, association, or organization of some kind. The main parts of a coat of arms are listed below, but you do not have to use all of them when you make your own coat of arms.
Step 1. Getting Started:
We offer an On Line Form so you can explain in detail how you want your coat of arms designed and it can be found in Step 4, but you need to read Steps 1, 2, and 3 first before filling out the On Line Form.
We offer two types of artwork: Advanced Professional Level and our Simplistic Clipart Level. You will need to decide which level of artwork you wish to use in making a coat of arms.
Our Advanced Artwork Level involves creating most if not all of the clipart symbols from scratch. Although this is much more time consuming it does give you that unique and personalized look in the design. It also can have a more realistic or detailed or even "Old World" look as well depending on the design. To see a simple example of the differences please Click Here!!!.
Our Simplistic Artwork Level involves basic normal heraldic clipart in the design of the custom coat of arms, company logo, college insignia, or school emblem that we can use from our database of heraldic symbols. This type of artwork is more simplistic then the Advanced Services. It also is offered at a lower cost. To view many of these coat of arms symbols in the designs we have created, just scroll down. We also have clipart links listed even further below to show one symbol at a time. To see a simple example of the differences of these two different levels than please Click Here!!!.
Step 2. Get Ideas: Please take a Look at the Sample Links.
Step 3. Picking the Right Symbols in Your Custom Design
This is the fun part of customizing a family coat of arms / crest, company logo, or the emblem of a collage, university or organization. Whether you are using our Advanced Level Artwork or our Simplistic Artwork, you will need some more ideas on the symbols to use in making a coat of arms. We have listed a few popular symbols below that we have online, which will keep your cost down. Please keep in mind that we have over 10,000 clipart symbols that may not be listed, so do not hesitate on letting us know the design you have in mind for a custom coat of arms, logo, or emblem. You can find the meaning behind each symbol at: Glossary of Heraldry Terms. This may help you in the designing of your custom coat of arms.
Pick the Correct Color Shade Here!! Simply follow the link and then click on the "Samples" tab at the top of the webpage and a bunch of colors will pop up. We simply need the number listed beside the color shade you pick.
More Advanced Clipart Coming Soon!! We will be adding more detailed links in the coming months displaying more and more advanced clipart. Thousands More Clip Art symbols to choose from for your custom coat of arms design. Simply give our coat of arms designers a call or email us to see if we have the clipart symbols that you are looking for.
Step 4. Getting the Information to Us for an Estimate
Each of the clip art designs shown above can be custom made to fit your own coat of arms or company logo. This type of service is time consuming. Our prices start at $35.00 for pre-made templates that require little artwork, to much more elaborate designs, which increases our time and the cost of the customized coat of arms or company logo. It all depends on what you want your coat of arms / family crest or company logo / emblem to look like. But the average cost is $100.00 to $150.00. These custom designed coats of arms can be used on most of our other genealogy products.
Once you have an idea of what you need on your coat of arms you will need to send it to us so we can give you an estimate of the coat. The link below is for our On-Line Form.
Step 5. Placing Your Order for a Custom Coat of Arms
The Tree Maker wants to first tell you what you can expect after placing an order for a custom coat of arms, company logo symbol, or school / collage emblem. You will get the following:

Step 6. Making Changes or Revisions to Your Custom Design
You can easily make changes to your custom coat of arms design. Once we have received payment and been given the list of symbols you are wanting in the design then we will get started. When we are ready for you to take a look at the first draft {normally in 1 to 3 business days} we will up-load your custom coat of arms to our Preview for Customer Webpage where you can view the new design. Keep in mind that these pictures are not high quality pictures, but low quality and are only for you to have an idea of what your custom coat of arms will look like.
The first revision is free and includes 3 small changes. Small changes would be considered:
Resizing a symbol larger or smaller.
Changing a symbol to a different color.
Moving a symbol to a different area on the drawing.
Adding a symbol that is already created. {Except for Advanced Artwork}
Some customers have the misconception that changing artwork is normally very easy and sometimes it is. But sometimes a small change in say making a symbol look up instead of down will take an hour to change, but another symbol was created in a manner that only takes 5 minutes to make it look up instead of down. We reserve the right to make the decision on what is easy and what is not as we have the expertise to understand how the artwork of any symbol was created and how long it will take to make the change. This is why some changes are not allowed to be considered a free change.
From that point on each change will be $5.00 for simplistic artwork. Advanced artwork revisions are charged by the hour and is normally estimated for customer on the cost. If you decide that you want to start from the beginning again or make some dramatic changes to the design then expect there to be an added charge. This is why we suggest you take your time and add symbols to the coat of arms that you know you will like.
Second Revisions Are Not Free!!
All revisions made after the free revision, will add to the cost of the original coat of arms design. Revisions from this point are charged by time of artist.
