Arms as interpreted by Brian Abshier

Blazon:

Arms:  Or a wolf passant Gules on a chief Gules three bells of the field.

Crest:  A demi wolf rampant Gules holding in his fore-paws an armillary sphere Or upon a wreath of or and Gules.

Motto:  Varia vivendi cupidus (eager to experience a multitude of things)

Badge:  An armillary sphere Or imbricated in a cross of Toulouse Or.

Design Rationale:

These arms are canting arms, “Loubet” meaning “little wolf” in Occitan (Southwest France). The bells in the chief symbolize the family’s origin in Couserans, a region located in the high valleys of the Central Pyrenees. A posteriori, they can be seen as a word game in English with the second part of the family name “Bayle/Bell”. The armillary sphere, emblematic of the Age of Exploration and the Renaissance, symbolizes knowledge. The cross of Toulouse in the badge is another reference to Occitania and the symbol of the region. (more information can be found at the Armiger's family site)

Standard: The Standard of the Armiger as interpreted by Brian Abshier

Personal Tartan: Registered 9 April 2024 : Registration No.: 14265, the Scottish Register of Tartans.

The design refers to the coat of arms: the triple gold overchecks on red refer to the three bells of the coat of arms, and the red overcheck on gold refers to the red wolf. The additional colours are intended to represent aspects of the Pyrenees: green for the forest, grey for the rocks and brown for the bears (typical of the valleys where the family comes from).
