Design rationale

Bruncvik's two-tailed lion, first used in 13th century Moravia, represents Gerald Edward Kasparek's Czech ancestry. The three keys allude to the three children of Gerald Edward Kasparek. The 8 point star is called the Sternberk star from the coat of arms of the Kasparek's ancestral town of Zlin. The lion standing beneath the star is an allusion to the legend of Kaspar who was one of the three magi who visited Christ in Bethlehem. In the crest, the griffin is holding an heraldic rose, and alludes to the Fagan side of the family. A griffin is used in the crest of a well-known Fagan's arms.
