HARLOW
Official blazon
Arms : Vert between three Lozenges Argent a Pair of Dividers Or enfiled by a Mural Crown also Argent two Flaunches of the last each charged with a Mascle Gules.
Crest : On a Wreath of the Colours in front of a dexter cubit Arm vested in a White Shirtsleeve the cuff rolled back the hand grasping an Axe a demi Cogwheel all proper.
Motto: 'IN COMMON ENDEAVOUR'
Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on September 27, 1957.
The white mural crown on a green background represents the town in its rural setting. The gold dividers indicate that this is a planned New Town. The white flaunches represent London, the origin of most of the New Town's population. The diamonds have voided centres to indicate that they have left London and the three white diamonds indicate that they have resettled in Harlow.
The cogwheel represents the town's new industries and the arm holding an axe the pioneering spirit that went into building the town.
The motto indicates that the continued prosperity of the town can only be achieved by a common effort by the residents.
