The seal was divided into three sections, the top left section showing a stamp mill in gold on a blue background and the top right section having a double furrow plough in gold on a red background. The bottom section shows a brown ox with a "European" lady with fair hair in a white dress holding a white ribbon. The background is blue for the sky and a green base for grass. Surrounding the seal is a scroll with black lettering with the words City of Gwelo on the sides and the motto "Forward" at the base. | The seal was divided into three sections, the top left section showing a stamp mill in gold on a blue background and the top right section having a double furrow plough in gold on a red background.
