The concept of wearing a coat of arms originates from the Middle Ages when armor emblazoned with symbols identified allies from enemies. Historians and museums view coat of arms as the precursor to corporate logos.

Aptly named, Coat of Arms clearly reveals its alliance with clients by wielding creative that uniquely identifies a brand and that engages audiences. We tell a story with every project in the way we edit, illustrate, color, write, score, and design. With a team of empowered artists who keep the client's message at the forefront, Coat of Arms gives a unique voice to the art of post-production.

Ultimately, our work speaks to its audience clearly while within budget. The Coat of Arms business model is one in which we maintain a low overhead and a can-do mentality that puts all project funds into the people we work with and into the art we create.

About Report

A coat of arms is a heraldic design on a shield, armor, or clothing. The concept of wearing a coat of arms originates from the Middle Ages when armor emblazoned with symbols identified allies from enemies.

With open hearts and a lens focused on education, we share these project files and details with you, our community, so that you may glean from them something inspirational. Or tell us how we could have done it more efficiently! We hope our project files may help you in your pursuit of design, animation, and art; but we ask that you respect the artist in these files.

Cookbook Report

This cookbook is full of contributions by artists we've had the privilege of working with since founding our studio in 2010. The recipes represent different cultures, countries, and family traditions. Each collaborator created a photo or illustration to accompany their recipe. Similar to our beloved tables, these creative friends carry the weight of an artful life. We hope you enjoy their recipes and their art. Please follow each of them and support their work.

We recently worked on a project with Coat of Arms to create the M-Studio explainer video. From initial ideas through to delivery, Jonathan and his team excelled at every stage to create a world-class animation. Very easy to work, friendly and professional. Highly recommended.

COA Post is a fantastic company to work with. Jonathan and Clara are efficient, detail-oriented, and care about quality and authenticity. Their network of animators and talent working in post makes a dream team.

I had the privilege of working with Coat of Arms for number of high profile clients such as WebMD, Chick-Fil-A and more. I trust them so much that I even asked them to work with me with my own personal film projects. They are creative and thorough will not close out a project without everyone being completely happy. I look forward to working with them in the future.

I have worked on two separate projects with Coat of Arms, and I plan on hiring them for more! On both occasions, I worked with Coat of Arms to create a high-level explainer video that laid out what my company does in simple terms and visualizations. Jonathan & Clara have a great talent for taking a high-volume of complex ideas and distilling them down to simple & easy-to-understand messaging.

Regarding timeline management, Coat of Arms is extremely disciplined at sticking to the timeline. If they don't hit the date they estimate, it's because they were early and now you are ahead of schedule! If you need a partner to help you create a great explainer video, definitely work with Coat of Arms!

I've worked with COA on multiple projects. They are a great family run business that I trust. My projects are often ambitious with a quick turnaround and the team at COA have consistently worked hard to help me finish the project on time without sacrificing quality.
