Crest
Dynamo's first logo which featured on their shirts in 1927 was a signature blue "Д" (D) in a vertical rhombus. Over the years, the club's logo has undergone many changes and replacements, but the signature D has remained ever since.
In 2003 after Dynamo won their 10th domestic trophy, a golden star was added at the top of the logo to celebrate club's success. The second star was added to the logo in 2007 during celebrations of Dynamo's 80 year anniversary. Although Dynamo won only 13 Ukrainian league titles, their 13 titles as USSR Champions were taken into account, which some consider a reply to actions of Dynamo's former top rival Spartak Moscow, who had done the same thing several years previously.

Famous quotes containing the word crest:
“What shall he have that killed the deer?
His leather skin and horns to wear.
Then sing him home.
Take thou no scorn to wear the horn,
It was a crest ere thou wast born;
Thy father’s father wore it,
And thy father bore it.
The horn, the horn, the lusty horn
Is not a thing to laugh to scorn.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“The history of any nation follows an undulatory course. In the trough of the wave we find more or less complete anarchy; but the crest is not more or less complete Utopia, but only, at best, a tolerably humane, partially free and fairly just society that invariably carries within itself the seeds of its own decadence.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
