Official blazon
Arms : Azure two Posthorns on saltire Or between in pale two Barge Rudders paly of six Argent and Gules furnished Gold and in fesse as many Garbs of Barley of the last banded Gules.
Motto : 'CAVE' - Beware
Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on March 26, 1956.
The blue field alludes to the River Lea and the barge rudders striped with the livery colours of the City of London refer to the free entry of the Ware bargemen to the Port of London. The sheaves of barley refer to malting and the post horns to the town's coaching inns.
The motto "cave" meaning "beware" is a pun on the Town's name.
