The logo of Portsmouth FC is a crescent moon and star. Though an emblem usually associated with Islam, it is said to have come from when King Richard I, granted the city "a crescent of gold on a shade of azure, with a blazing star of eight points" which he had taken from the Byzantine Emperor's standard of Governor Isaac Komnenos, after capturing Cyprus.
