Hm, I wanted to correct you, but the way its drawn, nicely simple, it does even rather look like a heraldic than a naturalistic figure. Of course, it needs to have another colour than pink, like - well, anything thats not naturalistic

Oh, pish. The "rules" of heraldry are more like guidelines, anyway.

To a degree yes. Tincture not on tincture etc are all just guidelines. But making the CoA appear like goddamn pictures, or having senseless unjustified quartering, or using shades of colours - all which happens in American "arms" - thats definitly unheraldic.
