Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Well.. if you want LEGITIMATE information regarding a valid coat of arms, the place to go is the College of Arms-
http://www.college-of-arms.gov.uk/about....
or, for many resources about heraldry in general,
http://www.cyndislist.com/heraldry.htm...
One of cyndi's links even includes a site on how to draw your own... that's something we've had asked before, I'll have to save that one.

Of course.. many people coming in here, become quite offended to find that what they believe is "their" coat of arms, turns out to be a rip off, from one of Shirley's "peddlers". Many have no interest in what a legitimate coat of arms IS, and thus we can't help.
Good luck...
