The Official Clark Family Crest
Symbolism and Meaning
The Shield
Represents the family strength and protection of one another across generations.
The Colors (Green and Gold)
Green symbolizes growth, life, and the fertile Virginia land where our roots are planted. Gold represents the richness of our heritage and the value of family bonds.
The Motto
Tough-Minded and Tender-Hearted — the dual nature of the Clark family: resilient in adversity, compassionate in love.
The Design
Created by Lawrence Mozell Clark, son of Richard Clark, the crest was designed to honor all branches of the family tree.
