Details and Crest
The shield is topped with a silver (argent) helmet, adorned with a gold (or) coronet, further enhancing the historical authenticity and visual appeal of the design. The crest above the helmet mirrors the shield, featuring a merlette argent, completing the complete heraldic composition.
Symbolism in Detail
The overall design represents Kuurne's rich heritage. The red shield embodies strength. The gold rings serve as reminders of the enduring bonds of community. The merlette stands as a reminder of Kuurne’s ties to nobility and chivalry.
