The arms of Shawn Edward
                                              Roy Christie.

Grant
: College of Arms 10th October 2011. Agent Timothy Duke, granted by Thomas Woodcock, Garter Principal King of Arms, and Patrick Laurence Dickenson, Clarenceux King of Arms.

The saltire in the shield reflects some Scottish ancestry and is also part of a design used by a Boarding school that the armiger attended and was heavily involved with in Aurora, Canada, called St. Andrew’s College.   The colour red represents England, Canada (where the armiger was born and spent his formative years), the City of London, where he lives and works, and is also a livery colour of St. Andrew's College.  Red is also symbolic of Christ and alludes to the surname Christie. Gold represents the Sun, which is one of the symbols included, as well as the armiger's efforts to attain wisdom and be as generous as circumstances may permit.

The main symbols represent the two sides of life from which we emanate, to which we owe our gratitude, and which sustain us: the Cross Crosslets represent the importance of the Spiritual and the Suns represents the Physical; the Cross Crosslets are above and below representing Heaven and Earth.  The Suns are side by side emphasizing that they cover the entire Globe from East to West and there are two, acknowledging that there are several Suns (of which the one that the Earth revolves around is one).

The Phoenix alludes to Christ (Surname, Christie) and also to the importance of continuously growing and the different cycles of time and ages we go through.  It holds a Maple Leaf in its beak to note Canada, where the armiger was born.  It sits on a demi-terrestrial Globe, alluding to the significant travel he has been fortunate enough to do (70+ Countries).
