Personal+Crest

Your personal crest is a statement about who you are. In Medieval times crests were used by families to identify themselves on the battlefield, in social settings, and to decorate their homes. Crests typically also contain a motto, a brief saying that summarizes what it means to be part of that family. Traditionally, images representing bravery, goodness, religiousness, faith, geography, nationality, etc were chosen for crests. Nationalism, pride in your country/family/nation is usually pretty obvious in a crest, make sure it is in yours. Your personal crest should show pride in yourself

Your crest should reflect you and tell the world about you.

What colors do you choose? What images do you choose? What saying, quote, phrase do you choose? What ideas are important enough to you to make it on your personal crest?

You will need to write a brief explanation of what you chose and why on the back of your crest.
