:icontechnofortomcats:
I kinda needed a little 'splash' image for my website (down for re design) and decided a really loose kind of coat of arms was in order.

I picked lions as the supporting beasts (facing outward, kind of a defiance of tradition in a way) The F-14's 'mascot' was a two tailed male cat, so I fiddled with some designs.

The shield design was a bit of a flub for me. Usually things don't pop out of the confines of the shield, but I kind of like the powerful effect having the wings and nosecone popping out.

The F-14 schematic was done by :iconnaryu:

On top of the knight, I picked a Fleur de lice (seeing as I descended from a French family on my father's side) and wings to represent planes and other winged things I liked to draw. :)

Big thanks go to :iconjunryou-na-kokoro: for a helpful critique.

This design is for my use only, please respect my request for people not to use, edit or claim as their own.

Wow, this is just awesome. Tomcats are such awesome aircraft, having one on a coat of arms definitely seems appropriate. :)

This is pretty awesome. I'm still having trouble with the traditional coat of arms style.

I'm not too good at designing Coat of Arms that are proper in the true sense of them, but it certainly is fun and great practice in pricing together different things.

You're better than me. And the whole flowing lines and anatomy are what really screw me up.

Nice design :) I'm finding the plane really, REALLY sticks out, I think because it's this BLATANTLY OBVIOUS MECHANICAL THING on top of a lot of stylised flowing lines. Pulls the eye to it. I like the outward facing lions. Considering the watermark/logo thingi you like to use, it fits in very well with your theme :)

I wanted it to really stick out and go hey the tomcat stands for planes (not male cats which happens a lot!)

The planes aren't named after the male cats? :) Mission a roaring success! :D

No, I mean my website. The plane itself is named after tom cats. ;D
