You could have used the colonial seal of the mid 1770s: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_and_seal_of_New_Hampshire
If I'd known it had existed at the time I would have used the state National Guard crest (seriously, those little suckers open up whole new realms of possibility for American heraldry).
Continuing my reckless heraldry spree, here is yet another coat of arms from my Alternate North America, this time of the United American Provinces, combining the arms of the original United Provinces / Dutch Republic, of which it considers itself the successor, as well as the colonies of New Netherland and New Sweden as well as the Iroquois Confederacy from which it was formed. The New Netherland arms and the supporters are from the OTL seal/arms of New York City, and the crest is the Half-Moon, the ship that discovered New Netherland, which is the OTL state National Guard crest of New York. The griffin head, which together with the three crowns forms the arms of New Sweden, is the state National Guard crest of Delaware. Half-ass explanation for why it's on Swedish arms: one of the ships that founded New Sweden was the Fogel Grip (Griffin Bird) so griffins are a symbol of New Sweden, along with keys for the other ship, the Kalmar Nyckel (Key of Kalmar), except that I couldn't find any way to make keys look good. The Iroquois have tons of symbolism that would have made great arms if I had the technical skill to do it right, which I don't, so here we are with just the flag. Elements from Wikimedia Commons.
That crest seems to be based off of the old colonial arms somewhat, at least with the bundle of 5 arrows....

Personal arms of Lord William McGrady, 1st Duke of Wallerstein.
Gules four weasels passant or, a canton sable with a death's head argent, crowned a ducal coronet or, encircled a cordon azure and Order of St. Mary cross or, upon two crossed staves argent tipped or. Mantled gules, doubled ermine, crowned a ducal coronet or.
The arms are generally the arms of the McGrady family, crowned with a ducal coronet to indicate William's title. It is differenced by the addition of a black canton charged with a death's head, a recognition of the Duke of Wallerstein's leadership in the State Security Forces. The great arms are further charged with his highest chivalric decoration, and crossed silver State Security marshal's batons.

The personal Coat of Arms of Lord Xander Vox, 1st Prince of Tycho. Despite being born a bastard and in poverty in the wilds of Pennsylvania, he rose to prominence as a valued agent of the Empire in charge of VIP protection. After the transition to the Republic, his agency became a full-fledged department tasked with protection of government officials and federal properties. In 3281, he was promoted and was given charge of the wide-ranging political police and domestic surveillance department, to which he added the regular criminal and provincial police in 3286. During the course of this, he demonstrated his biological father to be Prince Matthias Rycon, Count of Tycho, the long-dead cousin of the Emperor of Luna; Vox was legitimised and allowed to resume the title, which was increased to Princely rank. His personal arms include a modification of the sigil of House Rycon, as well as the death's head representing State Security, the arms of the city of Constance (the Galactic capital and his first police command), the red-white stripes alternately of Hungary (his mother's ethnicity) or America (his place of birth) and the white fasces on green to represent police power (the basis of his authority). Rather than being crossed with a State Security marshal's silver batons, his arms are crossed with the golden, crown-topped batons of a police general.
Quarterly I. azure, a crescent moon argent encircling a fleur-de-lys argent, a label of three points argent, II. sable a death's head argent, III. parted per fess, dexter argent a chief gules, a cross sable, sinister barry of eleven argent and gules, IV. vert a bordure or a fasces argent, crowned a princely coronet or, upon two crossed staves or. Mantled azure, doubled ermine, crowned a princely coronet or.

OK, I would need a Coat of Arms of Kingdom of Hispania ( consisting of area from this map- essentially former kingdoms of Portugal and Leon in personal union/later united in one state, like in OTL Spain, let's say personal union since 13th Century ):
Hispania is red. Yellow is Iberian Federation ( consisting of Castille, Aragon, Catalonia, Valencia and Baleares ). Green is Republic of Navarre.
Presumably some mixture of former early coats of arms of Portugal and Leon would be used.

Finally got (limited) access to a computer with Inkscape!

Is there a place where I can find collected material on the Terran Empire?
This is not a fictional CoA, but an attempt at reproducing the actual coat of arms of Theodore von Neuhoff, King of Corsica, using some readily available SVG elements and very rudimentary Inkscape skill. I'm planning a Theodore TL and decided to try making a colorized vector version of his CoA based on an image from a 1737 map and descriptions in primary and secondary sources.
The medal is of the "Order of Deliverance," sometimes also called the "Order of Redemption," which is the order of chivalry Theodore established during his reign as authorized by the 1736 constitution. The image on the medal is a bit too small to see at this resolution, but it's supposed to be woman bearing a sword and holding a scale weighing a drop of blood against a metal/lead ball, above a triangle with "T" written on it. Don't ask me what it means, Theodore was into that esoteric Masonry/Rosicrucianism/alchemy stuff.
The crown design is based on the black-and-white image of the 1737 map, which is the only source for a crest that I've found. Assuming the mapmaker didn't just make it up, the crown must have been notional only, as Theodore was actually crowned with a laurel wreath.
"In Te Domine Speravi" = "In thee Lord have I hoped/trusted." It's from the Te Deum.
Sable, a broken chain of three links in pale Argent, impaling Argent, a moor's head couped Sable, gorged a strand of pearls and tortilly of the field; the whole surrounded by the collar of the Order of Deliverance; for a crest, the Royal crown of Corsica Proper; for supporters, two woodwoses armed with clubs Proper; for a motto: In Te Domine Speravi.

Tbh I would have expected the quartered lilies to have been separated out, the point of their inclusion in the English Arms was to represent the claim to France. Since this is now vindicated any quartering should therefore represent both kingdoms with England as just the lions and France as just the lilies.
