====Official blazon====Escudo de ouro, cruz da Ordem de Cristo na estilização setecentista, acantonada e chefe de duas espigas de milho de vermelho, desfolhadas de verde e em contra-chefe de dois cachos de uvas de púrpura folhados de verde, em ponta, seis coticas ondeadas de verde e prata. Coroa mural de prata de três torres. Listel branco com a legenda a negro, em maiúsculas: “ GUETIM “.

Origin/meaning :
The arms were officially granted on May 10, 1995.

The central cross refers to the 17th century precious shrine in the local church and the red border highlights the courage of the local people. The corn and grapes refer to the agricultural character of the municipality. The corn is shown as the most exclusive red corn cultivated here. The base symbolises the ATlantic Ocean.
