Although the official description mentiones a golden shield, all images until the 1970s show the shield as silver. Presently the city uses the arms with a golden shield. The small shield was described as gold with a black wheel, but the image of the grant shows the small shield red. Later images (Meyer, Hupp) show the wheel blue (see below).
