Crest
The County Crest depicts amongst the religious signs of the Celtic Cross and Shamrock, the Red Rose of Lancashire and the Ship representing the voyage taken by all of those who have left Ireland to make Lancashire their home or place they are passing through. The Crest was designed by former County Secretary Seán Hackett in 2007.

Famous quotes containing the word crest:
“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)
“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)
