I’m not sure it makes much difference what I think of other people’s civic arms, but I must say how much I like the arms & flags of Podgorica, Montenegro. Clean, painfully simple, unique, memorable.

But how would one blazon it?

I was expecting to see some horrid post-commie nastiness that attempted to be both modern and vaguely heraldic (as seems to be so fashionable in Canada, at least among the poorly-educated), but the proposed arms are actually excellent.


Yes I agree the proposed arms are excellent, it is only to hope that they will be adopted.

I’ll take a stab at blazoning the arms of Podgorica: Argent three barrulets in fess the uppermost escartelly on both edges Azure.

From gerladika.ru the arms of Tashkent, capital of Uzbekistan. These arms was granted on 21 April 1909 during the Russian Empire and I’am not sure if they are used today. The External decorations are those of a City in a winegroving area.

Emblem of Jakarta, Capital of Indonesia.

During Dutch times Jakarta vas named Batavia, and was granted the above shown arms by the Governor of the Dutch East Indies Company Jan Pietersz on 15 August 1620.

In 1911 the arms was changed and a Motto,Mural Crown and Supporters was added. Also the Orange of the Shield was changed to Red. The Motto translates as "In the End do not dispare". On 22 September 1930 the arms was again changed, the Shield was once more made Orange and the Lions lost the Swords and Arrows. The Motto was also shortened to "Dispereert niet" = "Do not dispare".

"Ende Despereert Niet" is not translated as : in the end do not dispare, but just as : and do not dispare.

From Wikipedia the emblem of Hanoi the Capital of Vietnam. I don’t know if the City did recieve proper arms during the French times prior to 1954.

Arms of the City of Singapore, granted by the College of Arms on 9 April 1948. The Lion and Tower is from the arms of the Colony of Straits Settlements granted in 1911. The Anchors and Wings denotes Singapore as a trading hub. The Crest was used as a Badge by the Singapore Municipal Commission. The Motto translates as "Let Singapore flourish" and is today used by the National Arms of Singapore. The rather unusual all Blue Mantling is as depicted on the Singapore Annual Report. Picture and Information from http://www.geocities.com/inescutcheon/FlagsMilitary.HTML It appears that these Arms are not used today.
