Escut caironat: de sinople, una creu llatina patent amb el peu agusat d'or de l'extrem dels braços de la qual pengen una Alfa al destre i una Omega al sinistra ambdues d'or, acostades de dos raïms d'or al seu peu. Per timbre una corona mural de poble.
Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on July 2, 1997.
The cross is a traditional sign of the local arms, with the Alpha and the Omega symbolizing that Christ is the beginning and end of everything. The grapes are a canting sign, which allude to the name of the village in a popular etymology: Avinyó reminds the "vinya" (Catalan for "vineyard").
