Contemporary Coats of Arms
Reviving tradition, heritage and heraldry
I designed four Coat of Arms based on the municipal arms of the cities I've lived in (Weert, Antwerp, Rotterdam, and Eygelshoven) . With a graphic reinterpretation of the original elements and the addition of personal details, I aimed to make these traditional heraldic symbols contemporary. The pixelated design is a playful reference to the digital age.
