Origin/meaning
These arms were used on the flag of the city from 1990-2017. I have no idea whether they have also been used officially as city arms.
In 1990, a group of students at Edmunds Middle School, designed a 2 flag for Burlington as part of a leadership project. The arms on the flag are quartered. The first quarter, blue with a white dove, symbolizes peace and the city's sister cities. The second quarter, red with a yellow genie lamp, represents the colleges and universities in Burlington, namely University of Vermont, Champlain College, Burlington College, and Trinity College of Vermont. The third quarter, yellow with several pine trees, represents environmental conservation; pine trees were chosen because it is "the state tree of Vermont," but the state tree is actually the sugar maple. The fourth quarter, blue and white with sock and buskin represents the arts. The globe in the center of the shield represents the theme "we are one world;" atop the globe, separating the first and second quarter of the shield, is city hall.
