The Lion and the Unicorn are time-honoured symbols of the United Kingdom. They are properly speaking heraldic supporters, appearing in the full Royal coat of arms of the United Kingdom. The lion stands for England and the unicorn for Scotland. The combination therefore dates back to the 1603 accession of James I of England who was already James VI of Scotland.
The Royal Coat of Arms of the United Kingdom is the official coat of arms of the British monarch, currently Queen Elizabeth II. These arms are used by the Queen in her official capacity as monarch, and are officially known as her Arms of Dominion. Variants of the Royal Arms are used by other members of the Royal Family; and by the British Government in connection with the administration and government of the country. In Scotland, the Queen has a separate version of the Royal Arms, a variant of which is used by the Scotland Office.

Both lion and unicorn are fairly common in the surrounding of coats of arms. The actual coat of arms is the shield in the center and its contents. The picture above is my family's (simplified and stylized) coat of arms. The crowns at the top of coats of arms indicate nobility and rank - the type of crown shows the rank, it can be an imperial crown, a royal crown, a princely crown, a ducal crown, a count's crown, a baron's crown, or a knight's coronet. If there is no crown, the family is not part of the nobility or aristocracy.
I think that the TBN "coat of arms" has nothing to do with royalty but only with pretense and ignorance. Where is TBM located, is it an American or a British company? If it is a British company, it could, at a stretch, indicate that it is "by appointment to H.M. Queen Elizabeth", or "by appointment to H.R.H. Prince Charles" (or Princess Anne, etc.) if TBM is a British company. Note that the TBM "unicorn" is just a horse, it has no horn, and neither does it have a ducal crown around its neck. :)
