Blazon: I gull en svart tiur. In English: Or a grouse sable.
Approved by the royal resolution of 23 July 1982 after a drawing by Stein
Davidsen after an idea by Lorentz Svingen. [c2j87]
As noted by [c2j87] with Malvik grouse (Nor.
tiur) was intropduced in heraldry, although its cousin - black grouse (Nor.
orrhane) was noted already in the Middle Ages.
On
http://www.adressa.no/tv/?id=28894 one may hear the mayor explaining the
design. In the short film one may prominently see a makeshift flag of Melhus,
being an almost square white flag with the coat of arms in the centre covering
almost the entire field. However, I am not quite sure that we should really count it?
Among other things, the mayor points out that Malvik wanted to highlight its
natural resources and those have chosen a grouse. In 1980 a competition was
organized among the citized, producing some 40 proposals. Two of proposals
included the grouse. Also, the mayor points out an important difference of the
Malvik coat of arms in regarding to the majority of other Norwegian municipal
arms - namely it has a semi-circular shield. Something only yet Melhus in
Sor-Trondelag has. And indeed, most of the arms to be seen are in a semi-circular
shield - even though [c2j87] shows it in
a standard heart-shaped shield.
