'''BEX'''

'''BEX'''
===Official blazon===
D'azur au bélier saillant d'argent accompagné au chef dextre d'une étoile à huit rais d'or.


Canton : [[Vaud]]
===Origin/meaning===
The arms were officially adopted in 1963.


[[File:bex.jpg|center]]
The oldest coat of arms of Bex appears on one of the bells of the church dated 1641. These arms were divided into two colors (possibly blue and white, the colors of Bex), with a capital B placed on the whole. The second use of the letter B dates from a communion dish, undated, dating back to the first quarter of the 18<sup>th</sup> century. The letter B obviously was the town's initial.


====Official blazon====
The two known seals of the village appear in the course of the 18<sup>th</sup> century and show a ram in a bend accompanied in chief by a star. These arms have been in use until the late 19<sup>th</sup> century.

====Origin/meaning====
In the early 20<sup>th</sup> century the current arms were first used. They are probably based on a misinterpretation of the arms of Girold de Bex. Girold de Bex built the castle of Bex and founded the village near the church of St-Clément in the second half of the 12<sup>th</sup> century. Their seals show a lion and a small star. Probably the lion was interpreted as a ram at the time, or deliberately the ram was taken from the previous arms and replaced the lion. Whatever the reason, these arms were officially adopted in 1963.
