Amidst an azure background framed by a gules border, is a large shield at center, that has been divided into quarters. In both the first and fourth quarter, it has been divided further to feature four smaller quarters—the first containing a lion rampant against an or field; the second with a right-handed forearm grasping a heart against an argent field; the third featuring the head of a boar; the fourth, also with an or field, displaying a drakkar. Elsewhere, in both the second and third grand quarters of the shield, is a lion rampant against an argent field. At the center of the shield is a smaller shield, with a sable fess featuring a castle at center against an ermine field. At the helm is a knight's helmet. Over the center design are two small circles, bordered by belts. The left contains a leopard rampant gardant upon a fess, with the motto Touch Not The Cat But A Glove upon the border. To the right, also encircled by a belt, is a sphere emitting rays of light, hovering over a torse. The motto surrounding this image reads Higher. Below the shield, upon a banner, is the motto Honore Honestatos.
