One of the, well, not "pleasures" exactly, of seeking out heraldry when I travel is the imitation or fake heraldry that I run across. And this even in cities that are chock full of the real thing. So, that said, you have been warned. Here are a few of the imitations of heraldry that I ran across during my stay in Maastricht.
The above is the, well, I hesitate to use the term "coat of arms" since heraldically is it a very poor design, so let's just call it the logo of the Onafhankelijk Maastrichts Studenten Genootschap Plutarchus, the Independent Student Association Maastricht Plutarch.
I wouldn't call the last one faux-heraldry; it's a mask that happen to resemble a shield.
