Sad that they felt the need to include the town's name as a sort of substitute for a helm.

Apart from that unfortunate blemish, I think this is pretty good and rather commendable for a small American town.

The original design probably did not include the date and the town's name.
I do not know anything about Lieutenant Colonel Andrew Winiarczyk (although I have heard of him), but, the late Mr Richard Crossett was well versed in heraldry and one of the United States best heraldic artists.

Re: Arms of Nanticoke, PA
It would be great to have some sort of "official" register of American arms, especially for governments. But that is Un-American. We never use arms here. Even my Hill Billy county has a Coat of Arms. Just don't ask for the blazon of them.

I like it. And considering just how bad some of the heraldry is here in the US, I feel it was executed well.

The chief half is actually supposed to be Gules; the yellow dots are probably the result of "dithering," a problem with computer graphics that is now largely a thing of the past with modern browsers.

I think that the 'dithering' is associated more with image files in the GIF format and/or other formats that do not support 32/64 bit colour spectrum.
