The 2007 Arms had three black rhombus-like devices added. Supposedly, it was to represent jewels from Janusz of Toliszów CoA "Dryja", but the resemblance was vague and in 2008 the Council decided to remove it altogether.

The original (1994) Arms had a supporter in the image of Janusz of Tuliszków, but the Heraldic Commission didn't think much of that idea.
