Be Faithful

So my dad got a packet of vaguely interesting but essentially boring information from his dad, concerning the Kuehn family heritage. Apparently we trace our ancestry back to a gentleman named William "The Lion" Vance. He lived in England, was captured by the French, and oppressed some Irish folk; in other words, he led a pretty good life. There was some other boring stuff (The name Vance is derived from an Old-English word meaning a marsh or fen...), but here's the good part:

That's right, it's my own personal coat of arms. Hell, two of them. Now, I realize that some of you have made your own coats of arms in the past, with like a soccer ball and a slice of pizza on them, but these are REAL coats of arms. I could enter a goddamn jousting tourney with one of these things.

My only real problem is which one I should use. The one on the right has the neat "old man's head proper, helmet azure" crest, but I think that one would be hard to draw. And all those triangles? A little too Buckminster Fuller for my tastes.

I'm thinking lefty would be better. The shield is simple and neat, and the crest is waaay cool: a lion rampant, holding a scale. I might have to get a signet ring with that on it. I can use it to seal all my correspondence, and all my non-noble acquaintances can kiss it when I pass.
