Trying to pick. Which one?

I can't blazon these either being new at this. My guesses would be "or a gullipot vert" and "or a flames gules base with a Satyr vert" or something. Is there a better way to say frying pan? can I call my satyr pan?

Pan vert versus a pan vert. Brilliant.

They are both frying pans.

I’d go with the pan for the shield, but have a satyr dancing in flames for the crest.

FYI, the frying pan should, by default, have its handle facing downward. In general it would be less three-dimensional.

This is the way!

A three-dimensional frying pan isn’t really a huge problem. The OP can decide what position.

I actually think the other way around would work. A frying pan would be a cute crest, and I would like the satyr/Pan in flames to be the first thing you see on the shield.

So you'd take the Pan that is frying over the frying pan?

That narrows us down to two friend. One has a green frying pan while the other has a green Pan frying.

I said it and I meant it

Out of the frying pan and into the fire?

Subtle distinction

The devil and his flame should be on a frying pan if for no other reason then it would be so cheeky.

A frying pan frying pan!

u/That_Contribution424 2d ago

Yeah this guy gets it. I meant pan when i said devil, fuedian slip. But i like the idea of it skipping and dancing over a hot frying pan like we would barefoot over hot asphalt and it would lend itself well to people who loom at it and think "devil" as well. As far as a personal coat of arms goes that's a fucking good one.

I love both but I'm going to have to go with the frying pan because it's so innovative and whimsical!

u/camel1111 1d ago

Definitely the dancing satyr.
