Final Official Registration of a Waggoner Family Coat of Arms

The final changes have been confirmed for my coat of arms, they acknowledged the error in the description, where in the dragon had been blazoned in Or and not Argent, and the Oak Tree had no tincture.

The following is the Officially registered coat of arms.

Arms: Per fess azure and vert, issuing from a sun in dexter chief gold a phoenix descending in an arc toward the sinister gules enflamed gold, and issuant from an oak tree uprooted in sinister base gold a dragon ascending in an arc toward the dexter silver, the heads respectant in fess point.

Crest: A phoenix gold and a dragon silver wings endorsed respectant and rising from flames proper.

I am not prone to emotional excitement, but this is one item/event that I am truly proud to say has me excited. My search has been 40 years plus in the making, and 30 years plus since I first developed the general concept of the core imagery. It has only been within the last year that I realized that this core imagery really defines my life and decided to attempt to get it registered.

The original idea was much more indicative of the yin-yang, and though the final registered blazon is not as descriptive as I initially intended, I believe that it adheres to the overall structure and intent of my original submission.
