The coat of arms of the BBC was adopted in March 1927 to represent the purpose and values of the corporation.
While the coat of arms is now in relative obscurity — it does not appear on BBC programmes, literature, etc. — this was not always the case.
The various elements of the coat of arms were chosen to provide a heraldic translation of the qualities of the BBC.

In this position Reith was adamant that the BBC should become a national broadcaster, allowing news and events that had previously been accessible only to a minority of people, to become an everyday part of British life.
Having established the BBC as an institution at home (by the end of the 1930s, 75% of British homes had a radio), Reith sought to expand radio-broadcasting overseas, pioneering the Empire Shortwave Broadcasting Service (later the BBC World Service) in 1932.
In this year of Dialogue between Civilisations, Reith's vision - embodied in the BBC coat of arms as 'Nation shall speak unto Nation' - is as important today as ever.
