mythical (dragons, unicorns, griffins),

artificial (machines, buildings, tools, objects).

On the arms it is customary to put the motto. Initially, it was a brief summary of any outstanding event which gradually acquired a more symbolic meaning. The motto can serve as saying, catch phrase or the name of the area written in any language. However, the color of the slogan should match the stamp.

Received the coat of arms can be supplemented with a helmet like a knight's motorcycle so (at the discretion of the originator) or the crown of the Helmet is often crowned with a finial in the form of various figurines, feathers, horns or wings.
