Blazon: I rødt to oppvoksende sølv fyrtårn. In English: Gules two lighthouses
argent issuant from the base.
Approved by the royal resolution of 12 December 1986 after a drawing by Thorleif
Bredesen. [c2j87]
The design depicts two lighthouses at Torungene in Hisøy, that were lighted
first in 1844 to show way to Arendal. In the time prior to blinking lights
making difference between various lighthouses - the two were built nearby to
differentiate them from other lighthouses in vicinity.
