The top part of the shield, shows a lion from the Royal arms of England together with ostrich plumes and coronet referring to the Prince of Wales. This is a very special honour for the County Council, the King, in the Royal Licence, specifically instructs on the design of the arms to be granted "in commemoration of our long residence in Norfolk". This of course refers to Sandringham. The lower part of the shield comprises the arms attributted to Ralph de Gael or Guader, first Earl of Norfolk circa 1069. The ermine may well refer to Brittany as Ralph was Lord of Gael in that Duchy.
The Lion represents the City of Norwich and the lion joined with a herring the Borough of Great Yarmouth, both were former county boroughs and were re-absorbed into the County in 1974.

The main area suggests the name Broadland, with two Broadland yachts and a windmill on a 'blue field' which, with the wave above, refers to the rivers and waters of the District. The 'blue field' also denotes the name Blofield, suggested in the Oxford Dictionary of English Place names as referring to the Old English 'blaw' or woad-plant from which dyes were made. The emblems above the wave, taken from the arms of the St. Faith's and Aylsham RDC, are the sleeved arm holding a red rose from the arms of the Abbey of Conches which owned the Priory of Horsham St. Faith, and the ermine ostrich feathers of John of Gaunt who kept his Duchy of Lancaster court in Norfolk at Aylsham.
The blue and gold of the wreath symbolize the waters and crops of the District and are also the heraldic colours of the Bishopric of Norwich and the Abbey of Bury St. Edmunds, both of which held manors and lands in both the former Rural District Council areas. The griffin is derived from the crest of the Paston family, who were seated at Oxnead and Hellesdon and who also built Thorpe Hall, and whose famous 'Letters' constitute a major national document. It is here differenced by being charged with the six blue fleurs-de-lys from their shield, and rests a foot on a gold mitre from the arms of the Bishops of Norwich, with special reference to their ownership of the Manors of Thorpe and their Palace, on whose demesne the Council's offices now stand. The griffin sits on a grassy mound to indicate the Council's concern with conservation.
The motto not only brings the name into the design but, in an area with strong ecclesiastical links, expresses a pious hope for both the local and national security.

The blue and white waves refer to the town's maritime location and the arrows and crown to St. Edmund, King of East Anglia. On the top of the cliffs are the ruins of St Edmund's Chapel which dates back to 1272 and celebrates the legend that when St Edmund first came from Saxony in 855 he landed near Hunstanton cliffs. The white lion is from the arms of the Le Strange family, who have been associated with Hunstanton for nearly a thousand years. Henry Styleman Le Strange, in 1845 issued a prospectus for a coastal holiday resort on an undeveloped part of his estate, leading to the growh of the modern town.
The crest combines the lion of England with a fish tail, giving a further maritime reference and the ostrich feather is from the arms of the Norfolk County Council.

The Borough of King's Lynn and West Norfolk was formed by the amalgamation of part of the .

Picture used with permission, do not reproduce.

The shield is basically the arms of the ancient Borough of King's Lynn which were recorded at the College of Arms as early as 1563. They refer to the legend of St. Margaret of Antioch, who has been portrayed on the Seals of Lynn since the 13th Century, and to whom the Parish Church is dedicated. The per chevron division and the addition of a bordure serve to make the new shield distinct from the old one while retaining much of its medieval simplicity. The bordure also suggests the wider boundaries of the new authority, and the new shield is composed of seven parts to symboliss the seven authorities which were amalgamated.
The Seagull in the crest is an appropriate maritime reference it appeared as a supporter in some representations of the arms of the Borough of King's Lynn but here it stands on a bollard in order to make it distinctive. It is gorged with a crown or coronet like the King's Lynn supporter, and the lion in the crest of the Downham RDC. The coronet refers to the Borough's many royal connections. The seagull holds a cross botonny like the crosses in the the shield, and the cross crosslets in the arms of Freebridge Lynn RDC.
The supporters are based on the crest of the Hunstanton UDC. The lion is a version of the lions or leopards in the English Royal Arms and its fishes tail suggests the Borough's links with the sea.
The Sea Lion occurs again in the badge, but here it is surrounded by a garland of oakleaves as a reference to the rural nature of much of the district. Oakleaves formed part of the coronet in the crest of the former Downham RDC.

The crozier and crowns are those of St. Benet-at-Hulme. The dancetty chief is from the arms of the Paston family and the cross flory from the arms of Lord Nelson. The green sheaves on gold indicate agriculture and "early growth".
The Griffin is also from the heraldry of the Paston family, and the radiant sun refers to the healthy nature of the district.

Norwich Castle was built by King Stephen on the site of a fortress erected by William I. In the fourteenth century the Castle became a prison, and in 1894, it adopted its present role of art gallary and museum. The lion is said to have been granted by Edward III. The arms are sometimes surmounted by a civic fur cap, and placed between two angels in the position of supporters, but there is no authority for this practice.

The background of the shield symbolises the Broads, the wavy lines indicating water, and the land, which is chequered green and silver (here shown white), to represent sugar coming out of the land. The essentially agrarian economy of the District is symbolised by the sheaves of wheat. The hexagon is a reference to the new Council Offices in the centre of the District.
The boar is taken from the crest of the Bacon family and the wings from that of the Colman family, both families were prominent in the district. The boar holds the hexagon within which is a five pointed star, symbolising the five old authorities which came together to form the new District.
