The shield is based on the pattern of that of the former West Penwith RDC, to give a stylized representation of the whole Penwith peninsula. The black chevron on gold give the County and Duchy liveries, and suggests the shape of the Penwith peninsula with to the South St. Michael's Mount, represented by the traditional cross of St. Michael set on a black edged roundel. The two typical Cornish luggers indicate the fishing and boat building industries.

The four silver herrings, also on a saltire, are from the arms of the Newquay UDC, combined in an unusual figure unique in civic heraldry, a "saltire raguly nowy". The saltire is coloured blue, like that of Newquay, on a white background, like that of the St. Austell Device. |
