For my family crest project i decided to find four key elements of what my family is and does. It took a while to find out what i wanted to put in my crest but eventually i found what i was going to put in.

This is is my board and i took a while to get the final design even though there isn't much on the board. i wanted to have a rustic but new feeling to my crest so i added in the cuts into my crest and i picked the font because it had some modern feel to it

on the far left you can see i messed around with color choices. I used yellow to see how it would feel compared to red and black. It looked really nice but it also didn't have as much background as the color red. I choose red because all of the Arizona sports teams except the suns have the color red in them. Thats why i choose the Arizona Diamondbacks logo also i picked the Diamondbacks logo because my family has never missed a opening day. I picked the cross because we are of the Catholic faith. I used a generic leprechaun for the symbol of being Irish. I have the Mountain for ski trips that my family takes each year during the winter Season

These are some of the sketches that i sketched for my family crest. They are somewhat similar
