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.
A coat of arms divided horizontally in half by a large spotted band, with two heads and torsos of lions in the upper portion, and one of the same beneath. A falcon is perched above, poised to fly. Below is the motto Pernicibus Alis.
A coat of arms, divided by a wide bend, of which features three scallop shells, and then flanked by two thinner bends. At the helm is a griffin presenting a scallop shell. Beneath the shield is the motto E Conchis Omnia.

A shield divided into quarters—the first features a lion rampant; the second, a right-handed gauntlet grasping a crosslet fitchee. Below, in the third quarter, is a three masted sailing vessel; finally, the fourth quarter contains turret upon overlooking a choppy body of water. Surrounding this is a border with a medal dangling from it. Within the border is written Tria Juncta in Uno. At the helm is a knight's helmed facing forward. This is surrounded by fancy leafing that also surrounds the shield and border beneath. At the crest, atop a torse, is a right hand and arm, clad in armor, grasping a crosslet fitchee.

Above the vessel is the phrase There is no frigate like a book, To bear us lands away! At the base of the plate is a small bookshelf.
