The Carmen’s motto is Scite Cito Certe, meaning Skilfully, Swiftly, Surely – first adopted in 1892.
The arms were granted in 1929 with the supporters added in 1938; the original design having been created by Windsor Herald.

The arms comprise a silver sword with a red pommel and hilt, point uppermost between two cart wheels, on a gold background, with a black helm on a twisted band of gold and red, surmounted by a crest – a silver cart horse with a black collar, resting its left hoof on a wheel. The supporters are two dray horses, harnessed and bridled, with collars of leaved roses. (The feathers are ornamental, and not part of the heraldry) The arms are represented on the Master’s badge, which was designed by Lancaster Herald in 1938. |
