Background
Background During the Middle Ages knights painted their
armor and shields as a way of identifying themselves on the battle field. Out of this practice arose heraldry, a tradition composed of a complex system of symbolism which included shapes, colors, animals, weapons and other objects. Eventually, this practice has evolved into the elaborate family crests and mottos of today.

Other important design details
Besides simple fields of color, a coat of arms may contain other design motifs, such as checkerboards, polka dots, or fur patterns. One traditional design rule is that two solid-color fields shouldn't appear side by side unless one of the two is "metallic". Even this "rule" has been broken by many famous and historical coats of arms.
