Symbolism: The light and dark quartering reflects the colourings of Mr. Cvet’s family members: blondes with fair skins and dark-haired people with olive complexions. The eagle wearing a baronial coronet was chosen by Mr. Cvet to represent his mother’s ancestral Horvat heritage in Austro-Hungary. The rose represents the name “Cvet” meaning rose-like/hawthorn-type flower from Slovenia. The motto means “Prudence, daring, swiftness, strength”, and is based on Mr. Cvet’s interest in medieval martial arts. It is taken from a manuscript written in 1410 by an Italian master by the name of Fiore dei Liberi. He describes the attributes of a good fighter which are encapsulated in the motto: prudence: knowing when to attack and to defend; daring: not turning away from a challenge; swiftness: speed for offensive and defensive actions; and strength: maintaining one’s strength and equilibrium at all times. The boar crest is inspired by the emblem used by the Ottawa Medieval Sword Guild, a school established by Mr. Cvet. It holds a sword as a reference to medieval martial arts and a book as a reference to Fiore dei Liberi.
