Origin/meaning
The arms were registered on November 15, 2006.
The arms were newly devised for the merger in 2007. The arms show two hazelnuts and three waves.
Prior to 2007 Assens used the arms below:
Those arms are based on a seal known from 1535, which probably dates from the 14th century. The arms show an Agnus Dei as a symbol for St John Baptist, the local patron saint. All later seals and images (until 2007) have shown the same composition.
