The arms were designed by Vilém Kocich and they contain the quartered historical arms of the Silesian town of [[Frýdek]] and the Moravian [[Místek]], combined into a single town in 1943 during the German occupation. | |||
The F in the first and fourth quarters is derived from the name of [[Frýdek]] while the gold eagle on blue is the Piast eagle of [[Upper Silesia]]. The oldest depiction of the Frýdek arms can be found on a monument in Komenského Sady. It's unclear whether the eagle is a Silesian eagle (black eagle with a silver crescent on its chest on a gold field) or a Piast/Upper Silesian eagle, however, the Upper Silesian version became the accepted version. | |||
The crossed branches in the second and third quarters, representing [[Místek]], come from the arms of the Ronovci family, holders of the Místek estates in the 14th century. | |||
The arms were registered on February 12, 1992. | The arms were registered on February 12, 1992. | ||
