The Design Elements
Dominating the design is a vibrant field of azure blue, representing the sky and the tranquil essence of the region. A majestic lion rampant, rendered in gleaming gold (Or), takes center stage. This powerful figure symbolizes strength, courage, and nobility, embodying the spirit of Valendas.
Three golden roundels, strategically positioned (2:1), accompany the lion. These circular elements are believed to represent the three historical hamlets that comprised Valendas: Carrera, Brün, and Dutjen. They underscore the sense of unity within the community.
Symbolism and Meaning
The combination of these elements creates a coat of arms rich in meaning. The azure background provides a serene backdrop for the lion's assertive presence, contrasting the strength of the community against the tranquility of its natural environment. The roundels further enhance the narrative, symbolizing the individual components that form the whole of Valendas, reminding of the region’s historical unity.
This design is a direct representation of the official blazon granted on 18 December 2006, a legacy of Bernina's meticulous work, ensuring a historically accurate and visually compelling representation of Valendas' heraldic heritage.
