Insignia

"An insignia (from Latin insignia, plural of insigne ´emblem, symbol, ensign´) is a sign or mark distinguishing a group, grade, rank, or function. It can be a symbol of personal power or that of an official group or governing body.

On its own, an insignia is a sign of a specific or general authority and is usually made of metal or fabric. Together, insignias form a decoration with the different elements of a rank, grade, or dignity.

There are many types of insignia, including civil and military decorations, crowns, emblems, and coats of arms." - (en.wikipedia.org 21.12.2020)
