- Crest
- The Armorial Families entry associates the Cecil garb-and-lions crest with the Joicey-Cecil entry; the separate Joicey crest is also recorded in Debrett's Heraldry, but the exact combined usage should be checked against the original College of Arms record.
- Motto
- COR UNUM VIA UNA
- Exterior ornaments
- No separate peerage supporters established for Lord John; the design is a personal quartering created through a Royal Licence and inheritance of the Joicey estates.
- Difference / variant
- A legally authorised surname-and-arms combination, not a simple Cecil cadency mark. The Joicey arms were quartered with the Cecil arms after Lord John married the Joicey heiress and adopted the additional surname Joicey.

Notes / sources
This is the most important newly identified Exeter cadet variant. It should be linked both upward to the 3rd Marquess of Exeter and laterally to the Joicey family and Joicey barony.
