The arms are mainly based on the older arms of the Bromsgrove Rural District Council. The main additions to these older arms are :
The addition of the connecting rod, which symbolises the modern industry in the district, particularly the motor works in the town.
The addition of a boar to the crest. The boar symbolises the Bromsgrove Boar, subject of a medieval myth, when Bromsgrove stood in a forest.
