emblazons

Puts prominently on

Emblazons means to display prominently or decorate conspicuously, often with heraldic designs or bold lettering.

A family crest emblazons a shield; a logo emblazons a jersey.

The word suggests something displayed with pride or ostentation: Her name was emblazoned across the marquee.

Figuratively, to emblazon something is to celebrate or publicize it: Headlines emblazoned the scandal.
