Do you mean how to design one or how to have one made (out of wood or some other material)?
If you are talking about designing one, there are established rules of heraldry that are a very good guide, although many GLOs do not adhere to them very closely. The Wiki actually gives a fairly good overview of the basic rules
here, but I would suggest looking at your local library or bookstore for a good book on heraldry.
Note that the tinctures (colors) shown on the Wiki page are the main tinctures used in heraldry, but there are others (some of which are commonly referred to as "stains") that can be used as well, such as
celeste (sky blue),
murray (a maroon color),
sanguine (blood red) and
tenné (orange or orange-brown).
If you snoop around the Web, I'm sure you can find someone willing to design one for you, although I'd think this is something you'd rather have someone in your org do.
And BTW, common usage to the contrary notwithstanding, the proper term is "coat of arms" or "armorial bearings" (or simply "arms"), not "crest." A crest is a component of a coat or arms.
Good luck!
