My Badge

Blazon: Vert a Chevron chequey Argent and Sable between three Roche naiant Argent.
 
Crest: On a wreath of the colours an Eagle's Head erased Sable beaked Gules and in its beak a Pendant of double link of square Chain Or.
 
Motto: In Courage is Honor or "EN FORTITUDINE HONESTAS"
 
Symbolism:
Eagle's Head: Comes from the original MacEinery arms as an Eagle displayed Vert. But since I cannot PROVE that I am decended from this line, because of adoptions in the family I an in no right to bear a green eagle displayed on my arms, so I decided that an eagle of any colour will work well for a crest, and black was chosen to correspond to the arms.
 
Roach: My mother's surname "Roche" has arms but probably not entitled to my mother, so I adopted the Roach and displayed them in a different way as to not be confused with the Roche armigers.
 
Double Link of Chain: Double Links of chain signify adoption... and so I decided it was only honest to include them. But since it is in the crest it means nothing, but it does have other meanings for me.
 
Chequered Chevron: A Chevron is more or less a sign of protection, and I have a tendancy to protect myself and thoes I love, at times maybe a bit too much. And a regular Chevron would have been boring. Thus I decided to use a Chequered Chevron, and to use Argent as the central colour because the silver would bring out the Roche, and not draw the eye away from the shield to the crest.
