The arms were designed around 1947 by H. Ellis Tomlinson upon the request of the Provisional Council of the University College of the West Indies for the sum of 120 Guineas. In a letter from Tomlinson to Walter Adams of the Colonial Office from 7th February 1947, Tomlinson proposed several designs and concepts that may be used. These included seven crowns to represent the seven regions to be served by the university, namely three islands ([[Barbados]], [[Jamaica]] and [[Trinidad and Tobago|Trinidad]]), two island groups ([[Leeward Islands]] and Windward Islands) and two mainland colonies ([[Guyana|British Guiana]] and [[British Honduras]]). | The arms were designed around 1947 by H.
