3) AZURE: Blue color that symbolizes Justice, Zeal, Truth, Loyalty, Charity and Beauty.

Next lets look at the characteristics of some figures that we can find in heraldry and crests:

* HAND: The Hand symbolizes Open Generosity; if it is closed, Strength, and linked with another, Friendship.

* EMPIRE: The Head of the Empire, belonging to Italian heraldry, represents a political alliance with the Ghibelline party (derived from the Hohenstaufen, Lords of Waibling) who were loyal to the Emperor.

* COCK: The Cock is a symbol of Vigilance and Tenacity in the fight.

* STICK: The Stick symbolizes military command.

* CROWN: The Crown is a symbol of Royal or Seigniorial Authority and Dignity or Honorary Badge.

* GYRON: The Gyron represents Favor.

* THISTLE: The Thistle symbolizes in Heraldry a heart nobly humble, but so careful of its honor, that it defends with its sword the luster of its lineage.

* RABBIT: The Rabbit symbolizes Love of letters or One who enjoys a peaceable and retired life.
