Origin/meaning
Since 2005 the municipality uses the old arms of Loimaan kunta.
The previous arms were granted on August 8, 1952.
The arms are based on the town's seal. The seal showed a balance, of which one arm was placed in the arms. The wheatears indicate that the town is situated in one of the major agricultural areas of the country.
