In early 2015, Grand Duke Travis commissioned a new coat of arms from [[Michael Richards]], the [[Ellsworth King of Arms]]. These arms were more colorful and more closely resembled the traditional arms of European royal families. The new arms echoed the general layout and composition of the original Langer-created arms, but in a more subdued color scheme with an updated crown symbol. These arms featured lions as supporters surrounded by the ornamental chain of the [[Order of the Snowflake]]. Westarctica's national motto, "Fortune Favors the Bold" is written in English along the bottom of the arms.
