Official blazon=

I blått fält en balk av guld, belagd med tre stolpvis ställda röda vikingaskepp, stående på rullar och försedda med beslaget blått segel, blå drakhuvuden och sju blå sköldar på relingen samt blå vimpel.

Origin/meaning

The arms were granted in 1946 and registered in 1974.

During the times of the vikings, there was a trading route through Sollentuna, which for a short part was broken by land. Over land, the ships were rolled, which is shown in the arms. On this place, following the described conditions, a lot of reloading and trade were made, which later developed into a town.
