What is Heraldry heraldyka – l'héraldique

Heraldry is, in its basic form, simply a means of identification. From simple beginnings of a device painted on a shield for easy identification from a distance in a battle, heraldry has developed into a beautiful art form with many rules which must be strictly observed. For individuals it is a family emblem and for impersonal organizations a symbol of corporate identity. Heraldry is all around us, from a simple football shirt to complicated devices with quarterings and supporters representing the symbols of state. Even a company logo is a form of heraldry.
