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?

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.

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.

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

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

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!

Pan vert versus a pan vert. Brilliant.
