Biographical information
David B. Appleton (B.S. History 1978, Utah State University). David B. Appleton has been researching and teaching about heraldry for more than a quarter of a century. This on-going interest has taken him all across the United States and Canada and to Europe on numerous occasions to participate in congresses and symposia on the subject. He is a long-time member of a number of heraldry and genealogy societies and organizations, as well as a participant in a number of heraldry internet newsgroups. In addition to his illustrated lectures and presentations, he has written several books and numerous articles for a variety of publications on the topic.
Design rationale
Canting arms (obviously), with the cant carrying over into the crest and, more distantly, motto. I wanted a design that had an "American" flavor to it, but which did not - to the very best of my knowledge - infringe or the arms of any other person or entity. I believe I have succeeded on both counts.
Note
First "official" use was at the International Congress of Genealogical and Heraldic Sciences held in Dublin, Ireland, in 2002, where the coat of arms was included in the roll of arms of Congress attendees created by the artists of the office of the Chief Herald of Ireland.
