Family Crest:
Design:
For the design of my family crest, I wanted to incorporate elements of my heritage and lifestyle. I toyed with some different concepts and shapes to represent objects until I settled on a bike wheel to represent my favorite sport, cycling, a book to represent the long line of teachers on my mothers side of the family, the Brophy Chapel, indicative of my religious background, and a wrench to show my passion for tinkering and building. Also, I decided to make the laurels that adorn the side of the crest in the shape of a bike chain.
