In June 1980 the diocese of Great Falles became a dual See City, and was renamed in Great Falls-Billings. To commemerate this change, a small shield was added in the former design of Great Falls. This shield is divided per with in the upper half a trefoil  to honor Saint-Patrick, the Irish saint, who is the patron of the co-cathedral in Billings; and in th elower half a pile azure. The golden sides that are left by cutting out the blue pile, give the illusion of rimrocks, the cliffs that surround the City of Billings.
