Upon the helm is a crown of palisades in gold. This represents a planned area. The crest proper is a figure in half-length of a hart, which comes from the Arms of the County of [[Hertfordshire]] in which Stevenage is situated. The hoof of the hart rests on a cogwheel. This symbolises the modern industry carried on in the industrial area of the New Town. | Upon the helm is a crown of palisades in gold. This represents a planned area.
