Blazonry is the art of describing a coat of arms. Blazons are often quite simple, to match the achievements that they represent. If you know the names of the symbols you wish to write a blazon for, than you are most of the way to having the blazon written! It is usual for the writer of the blazon to specify the colours of charges and of other elements after the name and attitude, and the position beforehand.
