The shield has a background of gold and blue waves for the coastal areas. Overlying the waves is the oak tree with gold acorns from the arms and former seal of Colwyn Bay. On the chief is the Saracen's head of Marchudd ap Cynan, founder of the VIII Noble Tribe of North Wales and Lord of Abergele and Rhos. It was the device of Abergele and is flanked by two gold wheatsheaves for the rural districts of Aled and Hiraethog. The crest shows the Red Dragon from the Colwyn Bay and Clwyd County Council crests, holding a three-towered castle for the ancient castles and strongholds of the district. In front of the dragon stand four leeks, suggested by the seal of Hiraethog Rural District Council, to represent the four authorities united in Colwyn. The motto : IECHYD, HARDDWCH, HEDDWCH means Health, Beauty, Tranquillity.
