In heraldry today shield shapes are usually chosen to match the design. Historians are divided on what the various shapes signify but most agree that it is either the geographic area or the time period which determined it. The shield itself is not part of the official blazon of a coat of arms.
Three basic shapes of volcanoes are shield volcanoes, which have broad and gentle slopes, stratovolcanoes (composite volcanoes), which have steep sides and are typically made of multiple layers of hardened lava, ash, and volcanic rocks, and cinder cone volcanoes, which are small and steep-sided with a crater at the summit formed from ejected volcanic fragments.
Shield volcanoes have broad, gently sloping sides formed by the eruption of low-viscosity basaltic lava that can flow over long distances. In contrast, stratovolcanoes, or composite volcanoes, have steeper, more conical shapes due to their construction from alternating layers of viscous lava, ash, and volcanic rocks, which result from more explosive eruptions. The differences in lava composition and eruption style lead to these distinct shapes.

there's diamonds and granite in a volcanic neck
A shield volcano is a roundish, moundlike volcanic cone with very gentle slopes.
i think your problem is there is no such thing as a shield face.....that would be stupid
Shield volcanoes are formed by the relatively quiet outpouring of lava, which results in a broad and gently sloping shape. Volcanic blocks are typically associated with explosive eruptions that occur in stratovolcanoes, where gas pressure causes fragmented volcanic material to be ejected. As shield volcanoes tend to have less explosive eruptions, the formation of volcanic blocks on their slopes is rare.
The three types of volcanoes are shield volcanoes, stratovolcanoes, and cinder cone volcanoes. Shield volcanoes have gentle slopes and are primarily formed from basaltic lava flows, creating broad, shield-like shapes. Stratovolcanoes, or composite volcanoes, are characterized by their steep profiles and are built from alternating layers of lava flows, ash, and volcanic rocks. Cinder cone volcanoes are the smallest type, formed from the accumulation of volcanic debris and ash ejected from a single vent, resulting in a conical shape.

Areas such as the mid-ocean ridges, volcanic arcs, and hotspots have extensive igneous rock records due to ongoing volcanic activity. Additionally, regions with ancient shield volcanoes, like the Canadian Shield and Fennoscandian Shield, also contain large amounts of igneous rocks from past volcanic activity.
