В червлёном (красном) поле лазоревая (синяя, голубая) фигура, образованная соединенными главой и столбом, тонко отделённая от червлени серебром. Соединение двух ее частей накрыто золотым цветком подсолнуха. В нижней части фигура обременена серебряным кадуцеем особого вида (в виде трости с крыльями у навершия и с двумя переплетенными виноградными лозами), верхняя часть которого лежит поверх цветка.

Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on October 20, 2005.

The blue chief and pale refer to the confluence of the two rivers where Armavir is located. The tows was for a very long time famous for its sunflower oil, hence the sunflower in the top of the arms. The caduceus is a symbol for trade and the importance of the city as a trading centre.

The previous arms were adopted on February 27, 1974.
