crest (на флагах и т. п., – герб организации, рода и т.п.; Это распространённое заблуждение: Aren’t coats of arms and family crests the same thing? (...) A family crest, on the other hand, is a simpler symbol that is often used interchangeably with the term ‘coat of arms’. However, the crest is only one part of the coat of arms. The crest is the emblem that sits on top of the helmet in a coat of arms. It is usually a stylised representation of an animal, plant, or object that has some connection to the family or individual it represents. So in summary, the main difference between a coat of arms and a family crest is that a coat of arms is a complete design that includes multiple elements, while a family crest is just one part of the coat of arms.
