Official blason

Sköld, delad av blått, vari fyra bjälkvis ordnade granar av silver, och av silver, vari en blå smidestång och en blå smideshammare med hammarhuvudets pen åt dexter, bjälkvis ordnade och stolpvis ställda.

Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on July 27, 1955.

The upper part shows four pine trees, a canting element for the -skog (forest) part of the name. The number refers to the 4 parishes that merged in 1952.

The lower half is taken from the seal of the Noraskog mining community, known from 1520, after which the municipality was named.
