Ignoring the badge for a second... Botafogo's nicknames are Fogão, Estrela Solitária and O Glorioso. That's the Great Fire, the Lone Star or the Glorious One to you and me. Mega. This has been Botafogo's crest since 1942 but the lone star has been featured on the rowing club's badge since 1894, whilst the shape of the shield comes from the Botafogo Football Club's badge which was pretty good too but not as awesome as this. It's is just a black and white shield with a star on it but my word have they pulled it off. It could have been amateurish, it could have been dull but no, it's noble, classy and striking.
