The new arms were designed as the old arms only represented Zwevegem village and did not show the proper arms of the Griboval family. Instead the arms of the last Lords of Zwevegem, the Counts of Nassau-Corroy were chosen as the new arms. These arms combine the lion of [[Nassau]], with the silver bar of [[Vianden]]. The supporters and crown were also derived from the arms of the Counts. | The new arms were designed as the old arms only represented Zwevegem village and did not show the proper arms of the Griboval family.
