1) GULES: Red color that symbolizes Strength, Victory, Daring and Highness.

2) OR (Gold): Nobility, Magnanimity, Wealth, Power, Light, Constancy and Wisdom.

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

* PEACOCK: The Peacock, by its head denotes Prudence; for his chest, of gold and sapphire, Loyalty, Fidelity and Zeal; in the hidden and submissive of his steps, Secret, and in the terribly out of tune voice of his singing, Terror of enemies.

* MERMAID: The Mermaid is a symbol of Eloquence and Seduction.

* LANCE: The Lance represents Strength with Prudence.

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

* CYPRESS: The Cypress symbolizes Elevated and Incorruptible Thoughts.

* 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.

* CRESCENT: The Crescent, of oriental origin, symbolizes Victory against the darkness of slander, and Emulations against inconstancy and fickleness.
