thumb|Modern flag of Poher. Poher is an ancient principality that emerged in the Early Middle Ages in Cornouaille in west-central Brittany. Its capital was the Gallo-Roman city of Vorgium, capital of the Osismii, which became Carhaix after the fall of the Roman Empire. Archaeological excavations scheduled since 1999 show that, even if the city lost its function as capital after the 4th century, it was nonetheless a stronghold and major strategic crossroads.

thumb|"Spilhennig", the mark of Breton speakers. Spilhennig is a logo created in 2007 for speakers of Breton by the Office of the Breton Language. The logo was created to be worn such that those that speak the language can recognize other speakers and converse in it, rather than converse out of ignorance in the majority language of the Breton region, French. The logo is designed to look like a wave, representing modern-day Breton, and an eye, representing the logo's ability to allow speakers to visually see other speakers.
