The white cross is derived from the arms of the Ste. Croix Abbey in Talmont. It also symbolises the four main roads going trough the town.
The red jug is a symbol for the pottery industry in Nesmy.
The chief is also derived from the arms of the Talmont Abbey. The three castles symbolise the three historical manors around the town.
The town also uses the motto Nesmy Hier en Aujourd'hui, or Nesmy, Yestarday and Today. The motto indicates the 2000-year long inhabitation of the area.
