I was doing some light reading on scaling up treatment for pneumonia, malaria, and diarrhea in a selection of countries when I came across what could be gross stereotypes of crests. But they weren't. So, I did a little more searching and found some other crests / emblems / shields that I particularly liked. And here they are:
1. Djibouti: Pretty solid. What defines us? Machetes, a spear, and a shield. And we're not bad with MS Paint.
2. Zaire: Jaguar! Spears! Scimitar! I'll be honest, I like this one. Pretty hardcore. Okay, technically Zaire isn't around anymore but still, good work. This is also a step up from MS Paint to PowerPoint. I could have made this. I am a fan of the motto though. Justice, peace, labor.
3. Mozambique: Hmm, suspicious... same red star as with Djibouti. But, I dig the gun and bayonet crossed with the hoe. Very agrarian / communist of Mozambique. I can't get over the weird water at the bottom though. It looks like it's surging up on the right.
4. Democratic Republic of the Congo: And last but not least, the current incarnation of Zaire, the DRC. As if it didn't already have enough problems. Basically it just took what it had as Zaire from above and took it down three notches. Probably the rattiest big cat I've ever seen plus super low res spear and saber. Seriously. Same motto but now it is sitting on top of a mud block. I'm not impressed, DRC. I'm throwing my hat in the ring for v2.
