What is crest?

A crest is like a special badge that shows who you are or where you come from.

Imagine you're wearing a shirt with your favorite team's logo on it, that logo helps people know which team you support. A crest works in the same way, but instead of being on a shirt, it might be on a hat, a flag, or even a coat of arms. It’s like a picture that tells a story about your family, your school, or your country.

What Does a Crest Look Like?

A crest often has cool designs, maybe there are animals, plants, or symbols that stand for something important. For example, if your family's crest has a lion, it might mean you're brave, just like a lion!

Why Do People Use Crests?

People use crests to show pride and connection. If you wear your school’s crest, it lets others know you’re part of that school. It’s like having a special sticker that says “I belong here!”
