Английская Википедия:Coat of arms of Sermersooq
Шаблон:Infobox coat of arms The coat of arms of Sermersooq is the municipal logo and only symbol of Sermersooq, a Municipality of Greenland. The coat of arms was adopted in 2008, a year before Sermersooq became a subdivision of Greenland.[1]
Symbolism
The arms show an inuksuk (rock stack or cairn) in dark blue against a golden sun on a light blue field, standing on a white line representing an icesheet over stylized waves of blue and white. The inuksuk is an historical way of marking the roads in Greenland.[2] The ice sheet covers most of Greenland, and the waves are for the water beneath it.[1]
The arms are often depicted with a white background instead of a light blue one, as on the Sermersooq municipal website Шаблон:Webarchive.
