I am looking to make a family crest for my husband and his family. They are Irish , so I would like it to have that vibe. The following are personal touches that are meaningful that I would like to incorporate into the design: 

"F" for Flanigan or the name Flanigan
lobster ( the family owns a lobstering business)
252 ( number of their childhood home)
State of NH map ( get up in New Hampshire)
Yellow Lab dog head 
shamrock ( for the Irish of it all)
a bird ( I like the bird on the top of one of the samples I've attached)
