Description This is the formal crest of the House of Incandenza, a silly idea that some friends of mine. This was actually drawn in a moment of supreme bordom on lined paper, so there is a not-so-instignificant amount of photoshop that was needed to help correct that.

Unus ab pluram, to answer any questions, is meant to be the opposite as E pluribus unum. Where the latter means "out of many, one" (roughly), Unus ab pluram would mean one of many, drawing reference to the Incandenza's greatest strength. They are very prolific, that is to say they have many progeny.

The crest itself shows the three heads of the Chimera, the heraldic beast of their family. This is the most formal of all of the crests I have doodled for them.

I submit this to you because some people have commented that I have a neat little icon next to my name. To those people, I would say thank you, and please enjoy. I'm sure the resolution wasn't that enjoyable with this just as an icon.

I would say, "Hesitantly." I have to be interested in doing the illustration to begin with, because money doesn't motivate me very much, though I do like to be paid... so, if that isn't confusing enough.

This is the situation:

2 years ago I had a car crash and since then it's made me realize what I could have missed out on in life and what I didn't know about my own history.

So I researched my ancestors and looking at their lives I've noticed one very common thing, we all have the strength to defeat all obsticles. I've seen the Lennon family crest but it just doesn't do my family any justice considering what I've found in my search and so I wondered if together we could create a much better Crest? One to be proud of.

I'm not opposed to that. I'm not at all familiar with any Lennon crest, or how you think it should be improved upon, but I'm definitely willing to hear it out.

Hi thanks for getting back to me. The Lennon family were origonally Irish before they settled in Scotland and England and looking at the crest (link below) I don't find it to be very flattering at all. The Lennons seem to have a history of Mining, Farming, The Royal Artillery and as much as I hate to admit it, being involved in grissly accidents.

I was thinking of doing a Crest that would show the Lennons for what they are, a family that has the Strength to Defeat all obsticles within their way.

Is this more the what you are going for or what you are interested to have done? I have to admit, I am partial to the Stag in heraldry.

It's more along the lines of what our crest is meant to be but I wasn't quite happy with the design. I'm perfectly happy with the stag as it's a reminder of my fanatical Harry Potter obsession.

I see that. It seems we both thought it would be fun to draw, only I seem to have had that inclination a few years before.

I can tell you that I would greatly prefer that you find your own design. I've never really been keen on the idea of people tattooing themselves with my images. I do not like the idea of being associated with someone's displeasure later in life that they have this random image on their skin in a semi permanent fashion. As far as this particular design, I think you'd be better served by something that has some personal meaning rather than the crest of a family that is personified by greed.

I would say yes if I could get a copy of the vector file when you're all done. Does that seem fair?

I didn't have any plans for it at this point, certainly nothing commercial, if that is what you mean.
