Definitions

the crest is actually the insignia that a knight of old wore on the top of his helmet and frequently also affixed to the top of his horse's bridle. It could be as simple as a tuft of colored feathers or as complex as a representation of a leaping lion carved out of wood. In some coats of arms, in fact, the helmet itself is actually represented as part of the coat of arms. In the Sea Org coat of arms, however, we are not a military sort of group, the helmet is not represented, but simply the cross of the eight dynamics. (FO 3350)
