Official blazon
Arms: Azure on a Pile Or a Saxon Crown gules a Chief invected of the second thereon three Martlets of the first.
Crest: On a Wreath of the Colours between two Gull's Wings Azure a Saxon Crown Gules.
Motto: To Excel (Bognor Regis Town Council) or Action (Bognor Regis UDC)
Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on April 10, 1935.
The gold pile surrounded by a blue field suggests sand and sea. The Saxon crown suggests the Saxon origin of the town and the royally granted title "regis". The chief has the marlets of West Sussex.
The crest repeats the Saxon crown, between two blue seagull's wings. This shows that this is a seaside town.
The arms are continued by the Bognor Regis Town Council with the new motto.
